First female teen to win Ohio masonry competition bumped from national contest - GMDino - 06-20-2016 http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2016/06/19/teen-girl-bumped-from-national-masonry-competition.html# Quote:Shania Clifford, a 17-year-old from Scioto County, became the first female to win a gold medal in the SkillsUSA Ohio masonry competition in late April. Can't have a girl beat the boys at "manly" stuff. I'm sure it's all on the up and up...totally sure.

I do have to say, though, it does look a little bit fishy that they're letting her keep her gold medal. RE: First female teen to win Ohio masonry competition bumped from national contest - fredtoast - 06-20-2016 It could have been a legit mistake. Seems that if they were going to rig the competition they would never have let her win in the first place.

Because apparently, the scores were incorrectly entered. Excuse me, were "inappropriately" entered.

Quote:Judges in the masonry program, a field usually dominated by men, originally awarded Clifford first place by a whopping 72 points. If you take out all the implied sexism, it sounds like it was a mistake. I was in SkillsUSA competitions in high school. That was nearly 20 years ago, and girls were not uncommon then (at least not in Kentucky). RE: First female teen to win Ohio masonry competition bumped from national contest - Au165 - 06-20-2016 I feel like her own instructor kills their argument. Even he said the score was unusually high compared to the competitors. RE: First female teen to win Ohio masonry competition bumped from national contest - BmorePat87 - 06-20-2016 According to your link, it happened 6 years ago too. I would think that they would be more careful with their scoring if they're making mistakes like that. However, it is odd that the boy who was originally in 3rd place found out and she didn't.

Shhhhh...Sexism and patriarchy and stuff RE: First female teen to win Ohio masonry competition bumped from national contest - SunsetBengal - 06-20-2016 I wonder if instead of the customary, go make me a sammich, if her boyfriend prefers to say, go build me a wall?
