A team of five outdoor careers students at Ohio Hi-Point Career Center placed third in the Ohio Nursery and Landscapers’ Challenge during the Central Environmental Nursery Trade Show in Columbus Jan. 11.
The team consisted of Tyler Porter (Urbana High School), A.J. Sorgen (Kenton High School), Chris Fulmer (Indian Lake High School), Cole Craig (Benjamin Logan High School) and Jacob Gullett (Upper Scioto Valley High School).
Ohio Hi-Point’s team missed second place by a half point, and first place by 1 1/2 points.
The team competed against six other career centers in the state to complete a landscape installation from a given blueprint in less than six hours in the middle of the trade show. Installations were judged on safety, industry standards and presentation.
Industry coach Chad Carpenter from All About Landscaping assisted the team. Cole Carpenter is the outdoor careers instructor at Ohio Hi-Point Career Center.
