Midwest, Again, has Plenty of Quality

From our Eyes and Ears in the World of SBT, Matt reports:

Early in the Mankato chill, Midwestern SBT's gathered in the Myers Field House on the Minnesota State campus to put 7 months of design, planning, and fabrication to the test at the 2007 Midwest Regional ASCE/AISC Steel Bridge Competition. The clear favorite going in had to be the defending NSSBC champs North Dakota State. They did not disappoint, as the Bison were light, quick on their feet, and put in a good time. The bridge performed very well under load, and I believe they've again
mastered the Midwest.
