Quiz Bowl

Mont Alto fielded a team for the Quiz Bowl for the SAF Convention in Portland, OR. Tiffany Roddy, Chance Yeckley, Adam Luther, and Andrew Baker participated. Mont Alto went down in the first round to Colorado State. Between the jet lag and fatigue it was hard to get to the bell in time. We'll be ready for next year!

Penn State (UP) went on to win the competition.

Hello everyone in forestry club.

Mont Alto hosted a Commonwealth Campuses cross country race yesterday. The track, laid out by coach Mike Doncheski circled the campus and included a run in the Michaux State Forest around the water tower on the new logging road. About 5o runners competed from all over the state. Forestry student Ryan Thrush came in sixth overall. Mont Alto's Riley Wingert came in seventh. Thanks to the forestry club members and all the other volunteers for making the meet a success.

Forestry Day 2007

Will this be a new tradition? The Woodmen Team gave a great demonstration of the different events as members qualified for the North Carolina meet. It was great to see the alumni who came back to see the current team and show how it's done. Next year will be bigger and better!
