Freshmen Chris McKeown and Nicholas Williams and sophomores Casey Brock and Tyler Johnson pulled off a surprise win in an 11-team field that included squads from IUPUI, Franklin College and Ball State, Butler and Indiana State universities.
The teams were given background information Oct. 8 on a case involving supplier relationships. The following morning they received a tour of the Celadon campus and a chance to talk with management about the case. On Oct. 10 they returned and made their presentations to a judging panel of industry professionals, who assessed each entry in terms of professionalism, visual presentation, overall content and responses to the judges’ questions.
