Director’s Chair

The Eastern Wyoming College chapter of SkillsUSA finished up an outstanding year, at the Welding Fabrication Competition held in Casper, WY on April 15 and 16.

Bailey Martin, Guernsey, WY, 6^th place and Trent Taylor, Big Piney, WY 1^st place in the individual metal fabrication.

EWC’s three-member fabrication team of Nathan Ostrander, North Platte, NE; Cody Shrewsbury, Alliance, NE; and Trevor Sorg, Douglas, WY placed 1^st.

The team welded a director’s chair from prints that were given to them. They had 6 hours to assemble and weld the project. This process allows the judges to check for safety, teamwork, weld process, and a finished product. The students had a really good showing of their talents.

“These students competed, and represented the EWC welding program well. “I am extremely proud of our students, they worked exceptionally hard, and accomplished a great deal of success,” said Stan Nicolls, SkillsUSA sponsor.

Cameron Jensen, a sophomore from Bingham, NE won the average in the tie down roping at the annual rodeo hosted by Casper College.

He also split 5^th/6^th in the first round of the steer wrestling. “Cameron has been roping consistent all spring. Glad to see him moving up in the standings,” said Coach Jake Clark.

Jensen’s strong performance this season in the tie down roping has landed him in 2^nd place in the Central Rocky Mountain Regional standings heading into the last two rodeos of the season. The top three in each event will qualify to compete in the College National Finals Rodeo held in Casper in June.
