Members of LA Wrecking Crew compete in the 2009 Ops Challenge in Palm Springs
The 2009 Operations Challenge proved to be an exciting event for both the competitors as well as the spectators. Conference attendees once again packed the aisles around the challenge areas to see the teams give it their all in an attempt to be crowned the state’s best.
Los Angeles County’s “LA Wrecking Crew” reclaimed the state title after last year’s defeat. The team from Vallejo made a great run and had their best ever finish of second place overall. Sacramento’s team continued to showcase their skills including a first place finish in the laboratory event. All three teams should be congratulated for their superb performance as they now ready themselves for the upcoming WEFTEC event in Orlando. – CWEA
