Lodi High School's SkillsUSA team cleaned up at San Joaquin Delta College's Engineering Day last week, taking several top spots and sweeping the advanced engineering design competition.
Senior Nick Iturraran led the Jan. 30 sweep, taking first place in the advanced engineering design. Fellow seniors Gareett Neuvert and Caitlyn Hartman followed Iturraran, snatching second and third place respectively.
"As far as I'm concerned that's a big deal," said Paul Guthrie, a drafting teacher whose students grabbed the top three places.
Sophomore Jessie Bonilla-Culp came up with a first-place win in the introduction to engineering design competition.
"(He) outshined everybody in his particular competition," Guthrie said.

"I feel wonderful. I think we'll do really well," Guthrie said.
