The Marion County 4-H ThinkRobots Club, which includes students from the Silverton area, placed three teams in the top 5 at the Feb. 24 elementary and middle school state tournament at Cedar Ridge Middle School in Sandy.
A total of 26 middle school teams and 19 elementary school teams competed in the all-day event. One ThinkRobots team finished second, while two others took third place. In addition, coach Gary Morris was given an Inspire award for his support of the program.
Participating for ThinkRobots were Noah Stoneking, Jim Zitzelberger, Logan Sullivan, Ezra Vegh, Aiden Adams, Robbie Bruns and Gus Kowalczyk.
Bruns and Kowalczyk won a sportsmanship award, Stoneking, Zitzelberger and Sullivan captured a sportsmanship award and Aams and Vegh received a design award.
