Thanks to MSU - Mankato for putting on a great competition. These things take a huge amount of work to organize, and the Mavericks were up to the task. The facilities were perfect, and the conference was both interesting and informative. This year will surely serve as a model as we look forward to hosting the Mid-West regional in 2009.
The Bison bridge team went into Mankato with high hopes this year. Fabrication hours were leaps and bounds above previous years and there was no choice but to make it pay off. The nine team region improves every year, but the extra hours were well worth it.
Though they won't be "cruisin' down the 101", the NDSU Steel Bridge Team is headed to Northridge, California May 25-26 to take on the best of the best at the national steel bridge competition. For the fifth straight year the Bison have taken home top honors in the Mid-West region. It's time to take a few weeks off and then get back to the practice. A few minor changes to the construction sequence are in the mix and then to eliminate the penalties and sticky bolts. As the remainder of the 18 regional competitions take place, and more victors are granted invitation to Cali, it's shaping up to be some stiff competition yet again. Best of luck to everybody, we'll see you in Northridge.
Great job Bison!
