The
National Student Steel Bridge Competition hosted 44 teams
– about a quarter of the 182 groups who originally competed
at regional levels. Clemson placed 7th overall and took home
2 awards. The Tigers placed 2nd in construction speed, and
took 3rd in construction economy, which is a category that
combines speed and team size. In all other categories, Clemson
placed in the top 15. This year’s performance improves
on last year’s 8th place finish.
The
2003 Steel Bridge Team included (from left to right): Warren Rohloff,
Matt Cline, Bee Baker, Jonathan Atkins, Viet Huynh, Patrick Swindler,
Gene Rogers, Josh Stamm (team captain), Geoff Chambers, Ryan Lyle
(assembly team captain), and Nathan Cockfield. Not pictured: Josh
Blake, Darius Bellinger, Max Wright, Charlie Wilson, Joe Giametta.
