The coaches were 4-H volunteers Sara Kirby, East Montpelier and Kaitlin Benoit, Montgomery Center.

For placing fourth, each team member received an engraved silver cup and commemorative glass along with a rosette ribbon. Andrew Seward also was recognized for having the tenth highest individual score in the 50-question written test.

All competitors took the written exam on the first day of competiThe Vermont team’s trip was funded in part by the State 4-H Dairy Committee. Each team member also received a K. Stewart Gibson Award, given in honor of the former UVM Extension dairy specialist, to help cover expenses to participate in this national event.
