Student awards were based on 2012-13 grade levels.
Nickolas Holcomb (2-0-2) successfully defended his title as the
Primary (K-3) Champion. Mason Lu (2-0-2)
edged out the defending champion, Liam Hereford, for the Elementary (K-5) Title
, Samuel Lewis (3-0-1) was a full point ahead of all other K-8 students and won
the Middle School title. Benjamen Thome
