Write a commentOswego High School was well-represented at the "Electrathon Challenge" at Watkins Glen International Speedway.
Teacher Matt Bock brought his Engineering, Development and Design class on a road trip to display their recently completed electric vehicle.
Bock said, "The 'Electrathon Challenge' is a marathon style race that is designed to build awareness of electric vehicles. The challenge lasts 60 minutes and the winner is determined by the team that completes the most laps in that time. Safety also is measured as all teams much adhere to strict vehicle designs as well."
Participants included Ty Vrooman, Matt DiFabio, Tyler Sheffield, Jennifer Zufelt, Benedict Kraemer, Adam Regano, Jason Lowery, Kyle Clark, Adam Doviak, Jeremy Galvin, Liam McMahon, Nick Bertsch, Alex Johnson, Vincent DeBiase and Anthony DeStevens.
"Thanks to a generous donation Constellation Energy, the Oswego High School Engineering, Development and Design class was able to build the car throughout the school year," Bock said. "This race was a huge success as Oswego was able to complete a total of 71 laps."
The team will return to action in June at Onondaga High School as well as preparing and modifying the vehicle for races throughout the next school year.
