OSU earned 1st place in Aesthetics and 1st place in Lightness. The bridge is on display in the Owen Hall atrium and according to an informed source, "is the prettiest OSU bridge ever." It weighs 259 lbs and was constructed in the contest in 9 minutes by a team of 4 people. In the technical paper competition, Josh Goodall placed 3rd with his paper on undergraduate research. Congratulations to Josh, Katie and the entire team!! The group's enthusiasm, sportsmanship and engineering excellence are a tribute to OSU.
