Sikeston, Missouri - SEMO Electric Cooperative recently announced the winners of the Youth and C.Y.C.L.E. Tour contests.
Winners for the Youth Tour are Adrianna Gensler, Daria Kern and Tyler Battles from Bloomfield High School and Daniel Posch of Jackson High School.
The Youth Tour sends high school juniors to Washington D.C. for a week, where participants see monuments, tour museums and hear speakers such as the National Rural Electric Cooperative Associations CEO, JoAnn Emerson. A few hundred students from Missouri go on the trip where they will meet other students from across the United States.
The C.Y.C.L.E. Tour is a three-day, two night trip to Jefferson City. There, high school sophomores tour the capital building, go to the Missouri Supreme Court and hear national speakers. Winners of the C.Y.C.L.E. Tour are McKayla Hunt, Cole Nichols and Erin McCoy of Bell City and Kirsten LaBorde of Bloomfield.
SEMO Electric sponsors the contest each year and the Association of Missouri Electric Cooperatives facilitates the programs. Both contests are open to any high school sophomore and juniors whose parents are members of SEMO Electric Cooperative.
