Events students were testing in include skills in auto body damage assessment and repair cost estimation, auto body repair, auto body finishing, as well as automotive maintenance technology.

The students were then judged by Stuckey Automotive master technicians.

The winners then were awarded at the Blair County Convention Center, as they will go on to the state competition.
