Cameron Vega placed second worldwide for his Automotive Service Marketing event and Shannon Ahearn and Nataley Dormier placed in the top 10 worldwide for their work on a Financial Literacy Research Project. These four students also qualified for the final rounds of competition, placing them in the top 18 worldwide in their respective events: Areeb Ahsan, Louie Avino, Satya Hariharan and Noah White.
