The conference will feature the regional concrete canoe and steel bridge competitions. SDSM& T's student ASCE chapter has a strong tradition of designing and racing concrete canoes. SDSM& T has placed first in ten of the past twelve regional competitions and has finished in the top five in nationals four times. The concrete canoe competition is judged based upon appearance, weight, presentation, and races in men's sprint and endurance, women's sprint and endurance, and co- ed. The steel bridge competition is judged by weight, efficiency, least maximum deflection, speed of assembly, and total cost. The paddlers for SDSM& T's " Looking Glass" canoe and their hometowns are: Jim Cokely of Scotland, and Ryan Koontz of Sturgis will compete in men's sprint race; Trygve Trovik of Norway, and Josh Warren of Sheridan, WY will compete in the men's endurance race; Jessica Gould of Black Hawk, and Rhaub Walker of Rapid City will compete in the women's sprint race; Karen Carda of Hermosa, and Heidi Anderson of Rapid City will compete in the women's endurance race; and Heidi Anderson, Karen Carda, Ryan Koontz, and Trygve Trovik will compete in the co- ed race.

Hansen, Associate Professor, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, is the faculty advisor. ++ 30++ Media note: The concrete canoe team will be loading the canoe onto the trailer tonight at approximately 6: 30 pm at the Collision Center on Omaha St. This would provide an excellent opportunity to talk to the students and see the canoe before they depart for the competition.
