Two students at the Schuylkill Technology Center won medals last month at the annual SkillsUSA Pennsylvania competitions at the Hershey Convention Center and one will represent the state in the national competition next month.
According to the Republican Herald, Kevin Graff, a senior in the Shenandoah Valley School District, won a gold medal in the small engine repair event and Brandylynn Witmer, a junior at Blue Mountain High School, won third place in welding sculpture.

Graff, who had a bye in the district competition, will represent Pennsylvania in the national competition next month.
