On May 16, County Prep senior Ethan J. O’Dell, Music and Audio Technology Department, placed 3rd overall at the 2026 Universal Technical Institute Bloomfield Auto Tech Challenge and received $4000 towards his tuition.
The UTI Bloomfield Campus hosts the annual Top Tech and Auto Tech challenges, where high school vocational students compete in both written exams and hands-on diagnostic tests for thousands of dollars in tuition scholarships. It is open to high school juniors and seniors enrolled in automotive or vocational technical programs.
The multi-stage event tests practical troubleshooting, diagnostic accuracy, and technical knowledge on modern vehicle systems, including engines and electrical networks. Congratulations, Ethan!
