Boise State took top honors at the 24th annual Associated Schools of Construction (ASC) Region 6 Student Competition recently in Reno, Nevada. The competition is one of the largest of its kind and challenges Construction Management students in real-world, multi-million dollar construction scenarios laid out by industry sponsors.
“The competition is a tremendous experience for our students. Nothing gives them a better sense of the industry or builds more belief in themselves,” said Tony Songer, chair of Boise State’s CM Department. “The event is a great example of industry and academia working together to enhance student education, and it offers unparalleled opportunities to network with dozens of potential employers.”
More than 1,100 students competed on 173 teams from 43 universities and 15 states this year.
Boise State teams placed in three of the four divisions, including a first-place prize in the Heavy Civil competition. Boise State teams in the Design Build and Multi-Family divisions each earned second place.
Members of Boise State’s award-winning teams are:
Heavy Civil: Stephen Earl (captain), Jared Staub, Matt Wilson, Shane Medley, Nick Meyer, Cody Allison, Brack Judy (alternate), Robert Nicol (alternate), Thomas Woodall (faculty coach)
Design Build: Tucker Robb (captain), Joe Coba, Casey Gaughan, Nathan Griggs, Tim Harris, Jared Townsend, Matt Basye (alternate), Tony Songer (faculty coach)
Multi-Family: Brian Root (captain), Alex Carles, Paul Haas, Drew Haviland, Josh Milton, Kris Moncada, Chase Dyksterhouse (alternate), William Mincks (faculty coach)
Six additional teams from Boise State competed in the open category that included teams from Auburn, Virginia Tech, University of Florida, Ball State, Purdue, Roger Williams University, Illinois State University, Texas A&M and the Milwaukee School of Engineering.
