Alberton Panthers robotics team brings home silver medals
Rising ninth-grader Mahlon Manson and seventh-grader Varuna Peeblson of the Alberton Panthers robotics team brought home silver medals from the 2025 SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference held in Atlanta.
This prestigious event is the largest gathering of America’s future skilled workforce, celebrating excellence in career and technical education. With more than 17,500 attendees, including students, instructors, industry leaders and government officials, the weeklong conference culminates in the SkillsUSA Championships, where over 6,500 state champions compete in 114 skill and leadership contests.
To qualify for nationals, Manson and Peeblson first competed at the Montana SkillsUSA competition in Great Falls (April 3–5), where they earned Gold in the Middle School Robotics: Urban Search and Rescue category. That win secured their place representing Montana at the national level.
