The Canadien Champion, Tuesdey, December 7, 19eO -17 lWursterfinishes .eighth ait world skills competition By IRENE GENTLE The Champion Milton District High School graduate Glenn Wurster has fiexcd his skills competition muscle for the last lime. After engaging in an epic battle of electronic wits with eight other contenders from around the globe st month, Mr. Wurster has decided 10 get out of the cir- cuit for good. Instead, he will concentrate on his computer science studies at the University of Waterloo. But he bas no plans 10 disengage fromn the electron- ics gamne altogether. Instead, he has hopes to plug electronics into his future course load. Aftier taking the top spots in a series of intense elec- tronics contests, Mr. Wurster missed out on a medal in thie st go-round. Instead, he placed eighth. But he's happy with his performance. 1I was pleased," he said. And howing out as a competitor doesn't mean he has washed bis hands of the even,. "As far as competitions; go, I'mi done." said Mr. Wurster. "But I may have an opportunity to work with Skills Canada. It's up in the air." He has been looking at lending a helping hand to others who choose to sweat over circuitry in the future. 1I could possibly talk to them, and let themn know what's going on," hie said. The competitions are usually grueling four-day events spent poring over circuit boards. His firat contest was a regional event held in Halton. That propelled himt to provincial, then national chal- lenges. His st effort was at the international World Skitls Competition,»held in Montreal. Typically, Skills contestants must demonstrate their abilities in reverse engineering (or taking a circuit and drawing up a schematic diagrami of it) circuit building and fault-finding.
