On Feb 7th we hosted the State PAS Ag Mechanics Contest. Thirteen teams of two from Northeast Iowa Community College, Iowa Lakes Community College, Hawkeye Community College and Iowa Central Community College competed to earn the right to compete at the National PAS AMSTA Contest. The National contest will be held during the week of March 12th at Des Moines.
The NICC teams placed 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th so we will have the opportunity to send 2 teams to national competition and attempt to capture the national title 2 years in a row. The 1st and 2nd place teams will be representing us this year Ben Hartogh, Tim Walker, Trevor Hanson and Colter Thomas will be representing us this year and I'm sure they will have a target on their backs after the 1st place national finish last year by Marcus Wenthold and Brion Barrett. Good Luck gentlemen we are proud of you!
I would like to thank Eileen, Kristi, Marcus, Luke, Patrick, Dean, Jason, Derek, Luke, Brad, Chris and Mike for their assistance the contest went off without a hitch.
