Ben King of the Madera Junior Team displaying his Byron Muller & Joe Borelli Perseverance Award, which also came with a cash stipend. The award named after two late members of the Avian Sciences Dept. staff at UC Davis, was given to the 4-H members who kept their teams active and studying during the pandemic and made the trip to the Qualifier this August.
Posing for pre-Award Banquet photos at the 4-H National Poultry and Egg Conference in Louisville: Dr. Bradley, Matthew Ziegler, Ashley Pyler, and Coach, Mrs. Kitty Beckman. Captain Ashley Pyler was on fire with her correct answers at the Nationals. The California team only suffered one loss (to Alabama) before the game that decided the Championship. Again, they faced Alabama. It all came down to one question and Alabama prevailed. For their 2nd place finish, each California team member received a gold pin, $75, and a handsome wall plaque. Congratulations to Mrs. Beckmann for her continuing efforts in grooming great Avian Bowlers.
