Although it was not a typical type of scenario played out on a field, court or classroom, students from the area showcased their skills in a heated competition. Last month, students from the Wexford-Missaukee Intermediate School District's Career Technical Center participated in a virtual SkillsUSA competition. The results were released and it showed that several Computer Networking and Electronics Technology students and one Heavy Equipment student medaled in the state competition, including multiple gold medal winners. While the event was different and virtual due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all the students who medaled put in a lot of work and it paid off. While Riley Larr's story about his bronze medal effort in the Diesel Equipment Technology competition was told recently, the eight CNET students' accolades will take the center stage.
