He is also planning to accompany Dan to the national competition along with Baillargeon, who is making her second trip to Kentucky. “He’s very proud of his son,” Baillargeon said. She said the school has already raised the money for the trip to nationals, thanks to the generosity of the Parent Volunteer Organization (PVO) which matched dona- tions, and to a gift of $1,500 from WTA Advisory Board chair Edward Watson. She said they have also applied for a $1,000 travel scholarship from television’s Mike Rowe of “Dirty Jobs,” one of SkillsUSA’s national sponsors. This is also the third gold medal in a row for the Electrical Wiring shop, and for teacher Gary Martineau and Chris Benda, who teaches Industrial Motor Control to juniors. The last two years, Christian Verdon (WTA 2017) won gold in the same category in the states, and went to the national finals. Last year, Verdon won bronze at nationals, placing third in the nation, Martineau said. “It’s my main curriculum: AC theory, relays and motor control,” said Benda, who graduated from Westfield Tech himself in 1999. He said he worked in the field for ten years, before returning to teach nine years ago. He said the Electrical Wiring shop is fully enrolled, with 54 total students, grades 9-12. “Dan’s been amazing from day one in the shop in ninth grade. We knew he would do great things,” Benda said. Benda said this year, the national competition is provid- ing most of the tools. “Last year, Christian had to bring everything,” he said. Martineau said that Shaw was close behind Verdon in last year’s competitions. “We have high expectations for this one,” he said, nodding to Shaw and add- ing, “As long as he keeps his PAGE 8 - SATURDAY, MAY 12, 2018 www.thewestfieldnews.com THE WESTFIELD NEWS

Stephanie Paiva homered in the third inning; Ava Auclair and Lily Waters both doubled and finished with two hits apiece; Makala Gogal smacked a pair of two-run singles, and Allison Manos (2-for-5), who tripled in the first run of the game in the first inning, hit a walk-off single to invoke the mercy rule in the fifth. The Gators scored eight runs in the fifth inning. “That’s when we went full out hit mode,” Bonenfant said. Despite now being a hit with their fans, Gateway is not intent on slowing down anytime soon. “Our next goal is to win the league,” Bonenfant said.
