In Bartle Hall, 4,000 young people competed in 72 different trade, technical, and leadership fields. All were winners of state and regional contests. About 50 of them were in the hvacr sector. Ten work stations in the hvacr area offered testing in such areas as air handling, heating, air conditioning, compressors, recovery, soldering, and ice machines.
The contestants worked their way around the various stations performing tasks while being watched by judges from the industry.
