won gold, silver, and bronze medals in 16 different competitions.
Seventy-six students
from the Charles H. Bohlen, Jr. Technical Center in Watertown and eighteen students

Three of the first place, gold medal winning students will be able to compete
at the SkillsUSA Nationals, June 19-23 in Atlanta, GA. They are Penelope Brown
