Members of Pennsylvania College of Technology's Forestry Club were among the top finishers in a Woodsman's Meet held in conjunction with the college's Oct. 26 fall Open House at its campuses.

Students from The Pennsylvania State University narrowly won the competition – which was held at the Schneebeli Earth Science Center near Allenwood – with a final overall score of 39-37. A number of prospective students and other Open House visitors stayed to watch the closely matched contest.
