“Being on the mine rescue team has most definitely prepared me for my future career in mining,” said Joshua Riffle, a senior mining and civil engineering dual major from Buckhannon. “I plan to join a mine rescue team when I graduate and start my job. For the members of the team that won’t be part of a team after competing at the collegiate level, it still prepares them in the case of an emergency. The work ethic and commitment that this team embodies will carry over to our future careers and make us better at what we do.”
