🚗🔧 SkillsUSA National Championships – Atlanta, GA 🔧🚗

Today is a big day for Kyle as he begins competition at the SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference in Atlanta, Georgia! 🇺🇸

Kyle will spend the entire day competing in 13 different automotive skill categories against the very best high school automotive technicians from across the country.

It is a great day to be a part of the Wichita Falls FFA-Leila Dillard brought home the Texas FFA State 1st place banner in Soil Stewardship. I was not there for all of the hard work and long hours she put into the speech, but I was extremely happy to be there today and yesterday to see her bring home the banner. Not only did she do one 8 minute speech but she did two, they were similar yet different. If you see her please congratulate her on a well deserved first place Soil Stewardship banner and her 6th place (out of 24) Natural Resources banner. To say the least, the Wichita Falls FFA chapter is over the top proud of Leila.
