LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Team Owlpal Healthcare from the University of Tulsa won first place in the Undergraduate Division at the 2014 Donald W. Reynolds Tri-State competition in Las Vegas, beating teams from Oklahoma, Arkansas and Nevada to win the $30,000 top prize.

Driven Analytics from the University of Oklahoma won second place in the Graduate Division of the Tri-State competition, earning $20,000. The Driven Analytics team of Stephen Soroosh, Jake Elliott and Mitchel Walser pitched a business plan around a vehicle monitoring system that provides car owners with real time data such as diagnostics information and maintenance reminders.

In addition to the Tri-State team competition, Owlpal’s Ward also won $2,000 as winner of the Undergraduate Division pitch competition.

Conducted at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas, the Tri-State competition featured the top two teams from Governor’s Cup competitions held earlier this spring in Oklahoma, Arkansas and Nevada.
