Jam Making Contest - Logic Puzzles

At the recent interdepartmental jam making contest, four lucky candidates took part to make the juiciest strawberry jam.

As it happens, the person who came last was the oldest.
Glen was three years older than the person who came second.
Drew was neither the oldest nor the youngest.
Emery finished ahead of the 27 year old, but didn't win.
Alex was also unlucky this time, and didn't win either.
The ages of the contestants were 24, 27, 30 and 32.

Can you work out who finished where, and how old they were?
