GAVC welders prove time, distance are not obstacles

Lerma, Yard and Sackman place in the top three at competition in Oklahoma

With just six days to practice, three Grundy Area Vocation Center welding students placed in the top five at the Tulsa Welding School "Weld to Win" competition last weekend.

Nick Lerma, senior at Morris Community High School, took first place; Tyler Yard, senior at Morris, took third; and Zach Sackman, senior at Minooka Community High School, took fourth place.

The competition was not a planned one for GAVC welding students, said instructor Jim Cebulski. They came to Cebulski a week before the event and asked his thoughts on them competing at the Tulsa, Okla., competition for senior welding students.
