Four of Oxford High School’s automotive students proved they’re very good under the hood by bringing home awards and scholarships from a state competition.

Sophomores Kyle Kalbfleisch and Austin Hunter, along with seniors Cody Blanchard and Eric Johnson, earned a combined nine awards May 13 in the automotive competition held as part of the 88th Annual MITES Professional Development Conference and Student Project Competition in Lansing.

“I was very pleased with the results,” said Auto Instructor Dan Balsley. “I didn’t really have any expectations going in. I was pleasantly surprised that all of the students did so well.”
