Washtucna agronomy team declines nationals invitation; students cited college and ranch duties
Summary
The agronomy team placed second at state and received an invitation to nationals after Ritzville declined; students opted not to attend because of college enrollment and ranching responsibilities.
The chair reported the district's agronomy team placed second at state and was invited to compete at national FFA/SFA competitions after Ritzville declined its invitation. The chair read a note from Lorena explaining the team's decision: one student is attending college, another will be in a running start program, and two work with cattle and would be unable to attend the nationals week.
"Our students' goal was to win 2nd in this contest, which we achieved and we are choosing to not take the nomination," the chair said. Board members described the decision as understandable given the students' personal commitments; no motion was necessary because the board was simply noting the team's response to the invitation.
