LBI students win top honors in competition
Three students from Laurel Business Institute (LBI) won first place honors in the annual Sputum Bowl, a competition sponsored by the American Association of Respiratory Care (AARC).
?The event was held on March 9 at Seven Springs.
Winners in the regional competition were Tiphany Haupt of Mount Pleasant, Tom Rogerson of Uniontown and Rae Anne Reynolds of Uniontown.
The Sputum Bowl is a knowledge contest that is similar to the game show “Jeopardy.” Since the late 1970’s, the Sputum Bowl has been a part of every AARC national convention.
The LBI team was one of nine teams competing in the double-elimination tournament. They were undefeated after three hours and more than 300 questions.
The LBI team will compete at the state level in King of Prussia April 14.
The team that wins the state competition will represent Pennsylvania in the National competition in Tampa in November.
