Crops Team Success

For the first time since 1988, the ISU Crops Team won first place in both Fall collegiate competitions. The team was made up of Wyatt Bailey, Caitlyn Bruntz, Alex Coughlin, and Tom Thompson. The team attended competitions in Kansas City and right at home in Ames. Between these two competitions, the team ended up with over 30 awards. The team’s hard work and determination definitely shine through their success. We are excited to see how future competitions go for this amazing team. We are extremely proud of the ISU Crops Team and all of the success they have found this year!
