Grades 7-9: Savannah Elder placed second.
Grades 10-12: Jamilyn Giarrizzo placed first, Ayden Kujawa and Garlyn Jarrell placed second and Elizabeth Hammond placed third. Sam Wilson, Valentin Basso Gural, Nevaeh Strawser, Max McWhorter, Zach Austin, Autumn Pendergrass, Ty Teasley, Gabi Nicholson, Leah Haves and Hannah Weatherford received honorable mentions.
