The main focus this year was on agricultural irrigation. Hopkins High School finished in first place with a score of 127 and will advance to nationals in Raleigh, North Carolina later this summer.
The Crookston team comprised of Emily Gillette, Katherine Geist, Tai Baig, Anke Wiersma, and Ella Weber scored 116.07 points. The team of underclassmen continues to learn and looks forward to competing again next year.
