Tech has won the regional canoe competition 14 of the past 16 years. The canoe win qualifies the team for the national Concrete Canoe competition, scheduled for June at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pa. There, Tech will compete against more than 20 teams from universities with the best engineering programs in the country. The team's concrete canoe was judged on appearance, weight, presentation and sprint and endurance races for men, women and co-ed squads. Besides the canoe competition in Logan, the Tech team competed with design papers, a steel bridge, a pre-design and mystery design. The team finished first overall after scores for all the competitions were combined. Here how the team placed in each portion of the competition: • Concrete Canoe: 1st place • Technical Paper: 5th place • Pre-Design: 3rd place • Mystery Design: 50 participation points • Steel Bridge: 6th place • Non Technical Paper: 5th place Tech's student American Society of Civil Engineers chapter has a strong tradition of designing and racing concrete canoes. Tech teams finished in the top five in nationals five times, and won the national championship in 1995. -more- -page 2- The team: Name Major Hometown Team Position Steve Lipetzky Civil Engineering Sioux Falls Chair/Hull Design Chair Andy Coats Industrial Engineering Rapid City Paddling Chair Ryan Hamilton Mechanical Engineering Rapid City Paddler Dave Lowe Civil Engineering Sioux Falls Construction Chair Eric Gassland Civil Engineering Hibbing, Minn.
