From Craig Turpin’s article on the NJ.com website:

Cousins Todd Gruchacz of the borough and Jeffrey Gruchacz of Stockton, recently represented the Hunterdon County Polytech Career and Technical School at the 25th annual National Automotive Technology Competition, where they placed fourth.

The duo was selected by NJ CAR to represent the state of New Jersey on this national stage, after Jeffrey placed first and Todd third in the Automotive Service Technology division of the SkillsUSA Championship.

“Todd and Jeff have played and worked together since they were 2, and their familiarity with one another is a strength in competition,” said Christopher Scheuerman, automotive technology instructor at Polytech. “They work well together as they know each other’s strong and weak points. But, they also succeed because they put in the work and remain open-minded about learning new things.”
