Damien Windover (r) with his teacher Lyle Young.
On Wednesday, March 31, Damien Windover of Sharbot Lake High School competed in the Limestone Skills Competition in the Small Power Equipment category. This competition involves a theory exam with 48 questions. In addition, there is a practical component wherein Damien had to troubleshoot, disassemble and reassemble a 3.5 Horse Briggs & Stratton engine to factory specification.
Damien did as well as anyone else on the written portion of the competition but he truly excelled on the practical component. When he completed his assembly, Damien’s engine was the only one that started with the first pull!
Damien prepared for this competition working with Mr. Young in his Small Engine class and by peer-tutoring and studying at home. We wish Damien and his coach, Mr. Young, every success at the Regional competition on April 17 at St. Lawrence College.
