Four members of the Thunder Aces, Trine University’s bridge club, will compete in the North American Bridge Championships, which will be held July 31-Aug. 2 in Philadelphia.
Team members Treyton Sederstrom, a senior actuarial science major from Cedar Lake, Indiana; Isaac Braun, a junior chemical engineering major from Portland, Indiana; Ryan Hoak, a senior civil engineering major from Warsaw, Indiana; and Ryan Sederstrom, a sophomore electrical engineering major from Cedar Lake, Indiana, will participate in the college team and college pairs matches.
Ryan Hoak and Ryan Sederstrom each won travel expense packages from the American Contract Bridge League for three nights’ lodging ($354), food ($200) and air transportation (up to $600). They won the packages by playing bridge online every day from March 15 through April 30.
