Congratulations to 7th grade students Prentice Kanz and Azlynne Henthorn for earning 3rd place in the 35th Annual WVU Pumpkin Drop. Competing against 242 teams from 58 schools, their pumpkin landed just 2 feet, 2 inches from the target after being dropped from the 11-story Engineering Sciences Building at WVU back in October.
Yesterday, they were each presented with their share of the $50 prize and a custom trophy made by the WVU School of Engineering. We are proud of their hard work and engineering skills! Also pictured is Mr. Maiden, TCMS TASK Advisor, who has now taken his students to compete in the WVU Pumpkin Drop for 3 years and counting! #KnightsPride

Jaxon, Cade, Arianna, and Hannah put together the most airplanes following the criteria provided.
