BYU swept the competition at the AIChE Regional Conference in Laramie, WY that took place in March.  Jordan Wilcken's Chem-E-Car came in first place ($200) with 68.5 feet (the target distance was 73 feet).  The 2nd place team's car from the University of Wyoming traveled 67.5 feet.  It was a close race!  The University of Utah came in 3rd. As for the paper competition (a misnomer- it's an oral presentation competition), Randy Shurtz came in 1st place ($200) and will represent the region at the national paper competition in November.  Chris Broadbent came in 2nd place ($100).  Again, the University of Utah came in 3rd place.  We had 4 presenters from BYU.  We received $500 of the available $650 in prize money.  Please congratulate the students for a job well done.  We brought 8 students to Laramie.
