Twenty Penn College students and 15 students from area secondary schools competed at a Feb. 22 welding contest in the college's Avco-Lycoming Metal Trades Center. The contest, conducted by the Central Pennsylvania Section of the American Welding Society, was judged by Adam Steppe, of High Steel Industries, and Niles Oehrli, from Moody International. Students from three schools (Williamsport Area High School, Columbia-Montour Area Vocational-Technical School, and SUN Area Career and Technology Center) also competed against one another. Winners will be announced and honored at a banquet on March 5.
