The annual Washington state FFA convention took place on campus at WSU last weekend with a list of first-place winners from Whitman County.
Colfax junior Cotton Booker took state for top individual and State Star for agricultural business. Cole Baerlocher, another junior, won for state prepared public speaking.
In team events, Colfax's Cassidi Shindler, a senior, Gunnar Aune, junior, and Perry Imler, sophomore, took first place in ag sales – a competition in which teams across the state are assigned a product earlier in the year for which they sell to the judges.
LaCrosse High School also had a group of state winners.
The team of Alynn Harder, senior, Genevieve McGregor, sophomore, and junior Lauren Stubbs took first in marketing.
The school's meat evaluation team also won at state with a team consisting of junior T.J. Harder (top individual), Trey Fleming, junior, Ty Harder, junior, and Alynn Harder. Lauren Stubbs, another junior, won state in extemporaneous public speaking.
Colton sophomore Maggie Meyer won the state creed competition.
Each winning team and individual will advance to compete at the FFA National Convention during Oct. 30-Nov. 2 in Indianapolis.
