                         Wednesday, May 9, 2018

  Mr. BLUM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the outstanding 
achievement of the two-person West Delaware High School team that 
competed at the National Auto Skills Competition in New York, NY. 
Teammates Caleb Zehr and Sam Ruba, both seniors at West Delaware, 
placed 2nd in the Nation with the guidance of their instructor Jason 
Guyer.
  The West Delaware team spent two days competing against 29 other 
teams attending the competition. The first day consisted of tests on 
tools, measuring instruments, vehicle components, and job interview 
skills. The following day, each team was put to the test by diagnosing 
and repairing various problems on an assigned car. After assessing each 
team, Caleb and Sam earned the highest standing in the history of West 
Delaware High School's participation in the National Auto Skills 
Competition.
  These students are bright, hard-working individuals that represented 
their high school and community in high regard. I wish them the best in 
their future automotive industry endeavors.
