WHITEWATER - Casey Russell from Belleville, majoring in economics, contributed to a first-ever win by the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater economics team at the College Fed Challenge competition Nov. 13 in Chicago.

The Challenge is an academic competition designed to bring real-world economics into the classroom.

Teams analyze economic and financial conditions and determine how they may impact monetary policy.

As a non-presenting team member, Russell's contributions to the research and presentation development were vital to the team's preparation and success.

The event was the culmination of more than six months of preparation and practice.
