In the category of craftsmanship Levi Weigum placed first in the Tiger/Wolf subgroup; Spencer Mellmer placed first in the Bear subgroup; and Tanner Palaniuk placed first in the Webelos subgroup.
In overall race times, Aaron Ripplinger placed first in the Tiger/Wolf subgroup, Mellmer placed first in the Bear subgroup and Trenton Solem placed first in the Webelos subgroup.
