JCIDC sponsors Jackson County robotics tournament

February 3, 2025

Jackson County has four more robotics teams qualified for the 2025 Indiana State Robotics Championship on March 22 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis.

At a VEX IQ Robotics tournament Feb. 1 at Immanuel Lutheran School in Seymour, Lutheran Central School’s Team 47220B consisting of Collin McKinley, Waylon Wolka and Hank Stuckwisch and Immanuel Lutheran School’s Team 520D consisting of Daniel Neawedde, Gabrian Wilkins and Elizabeth Scheiderer won the middle school tournament, and Immanuel Lutheran School’s Team 520C consisting of Joshua Haugen, Jonathan Rice and Jacquelyn Rice and St. Ambrose Catholic School’s Team 3522G consisting of Oliver Cutsinger, Warren Davidson, Felicity Hughes and Ashley Alexander won the elementary school tournament.

The skills champions were Immanuel Team 520D for the middle school and Immanuel Team 520A consisting of Morgan Schepman,

Katelyn Bonde and Irelyn Pumphrey for the elementary school.

JCDIC was proud to sponsor this tournament again this year, covering the registration fees for all of the teams. This event was unique because it featured all Jackson County teams — 21 middle school and 28 elementary school.

St. Ambrose coach Amy Hughes summed up this event perfectly: “Even before winning, it was a great tournament. We always appreciate competing with local schools whose kids and coaches we know. It’s a lot more fun when everyone is on a level playing field with scores fluctuating throughout the day. We all really enjoy the camaraderie and alliances.”
