BRTC Announces Esports Extravaganza Stage I Winners

Esports Extravaganza stage one winners (L to R): Taylor Crosson, Gracie Paschal, and Sara Hankins

Black River Technical College (BRTC) is currently holding its first-ever esports Extravaganza.

Stage one of the semester-long contest recently ended. Students were tasked with logging visits of 20 minutes or more playing their favorite video games on BRTC’s gaming PCs, PlayStations, and Xboxes.

Students who logged those visits the fastest were awarded $10 in Black Hawk Bucks, redeemable at The Coffee Shop, The Black River Grill, and the BRTC Bookstore. Taylor Crosson, Gracie Paschal, and Sara Hankins were the fastest to log those visits.

All students who logged the minimum number of visits to esports were entered into a drawing for $100 in Black Hawk Bucks, and Gracie Paschal was the lucky winner.

Stage two is happening now. Prizes are awarded after each stage (four total) and a grand prize is awarded for participation throughout the semester. The grand prize to be given away at the end of the contest is a new PlayStation 5.
