The 6th grade team (Gabe Gandarias, Maddox Smith-Heacox, Macie Vande Werfhorst & Naomi Atwood) won one medal (and one ribbon), the 7th grade teams (Chloe Goethel, Emma Callahan, Eva Wirth, Emmett Layman & Zander Kuschnerei) won two medals and the 8th grade team, represented by only one member (Max Rodriguez) also won two medals.
