The team took home several awards on top of their National Championship. Those awards included: Best Team, Best Engineer, Best Presentation, Best Portfolio and Display, Best Research and Development and Best Sponsorship.

The team was led by Instructor Mike Schott and Board of Education President, Terry Rataiczak. The team consisted of Lane King, Tyler Secrest, Shannon Holt, Audrey Cain and TJ Rataiczak.
For a small town of Caldwell to send a team and be as successful as they have says a lot about the kids and teachers in the district. Caldwell High Principal had this to say, "Mike Schott and his Formula 1/4x4 team have shown what is possible with the great kids we have at Caldwell and I know I speak for everyone in the community when I say that it is a very good, and proud, day to be a Redskin".
