Hall students win first in speed in IVCC Edible Car Contest

OGLESBY — It wasn’t a record-breaking race for the Edible Car Contest recently at Illinois Valley Community College, but students from Hall High School dominated the speed competition for the second year in a row.

Teams of Hall calculus students won first and third in the speed competition in the eighth annual contest, which IVCC hosts in celebration of National Engineering Week.

This year’s fastest vehicle was designed and built by Olivia Brandner, Jacquelyn Petzel, Alex Olivares and Sam Rizzo, under the team name “The Uncle Worms.” The third-place car was built by the “Going Cakeless” team of Joe Parochetti, Rebekah Dagraedt and Abney Bernardini. Math teacher Jill Bruner advised the students.
