Students from the Mediapolis High School competed last Friday at SCC for the annual Southeast Iowa Skills Throwdown. Brookelyn Fenton took home top prize in the welding contest, and is the schools first individual to place in welding through all the years of the contest. Additional welders that represented Mediapolis were Luke Steffener and Evan Frank. In the Construction Trades Contest, Mediapolis was represented by Grant Beschorner, Zack McLaughlin, Henry Nalley, and Aiden Frank. This is the 8th year that Mediapolis has competed at the skills challenge. Students finished the day out by touring KPI Metals in West Burlington, and would like to thank them for opening their doors for a tour.
