Monroe-Woodbury High School senior Cameron Brown was part of a three-person team that earned first-place honors and was crowned state champion in Welding Fabrication at the SkillsUSA New York State Conference, held this past weekend in Syracuse.
Cameron was joined by teammates Patrick Frawley and Brady Witkoski of Minisink Valley. They will be heading to Nationals in Atlanta in June!
The SkillsUSA Welding Fabrication competition requires a team of three students to use their welding and fabrication skills to build a designed project from the provided material. The project is constructed by the competitors based on provided prints.
They were part of a 46-student delegation representing the SkillsUSA Orange-Ulster BOCES Chapter. More than 100 schools from across New York showcased their skills in career and technical education pathways ranging from welding fabrication to culinary arts and digital cinema.
The Orange-Ulster BOCES chapter had eight students earn medals in welding fabrication, medical terminology, nail care, carpentry, early childhood education and medical assisting.
Congratulations, Cameron!
