In the team competition, the Palmyra team of Brian Bruggemann, Kourtney Kempkes, Vanessa Knutsen, and Zach Roath won first place. The Pawnee City team of Kellen Habegger, Ted Gyhra, Hayden Meyer, and Caetlen Gyhra was second; and the Diller-Odell team of Cody Scheele, Ethan Rupprecht, Bladen Ahl, and Katie Schultis, placed third.
The individual winner was Zach Roath of Palmyra with a score of 337 points.
Those receiving purple ribbons included Samantha Teten of Johnson County Central, and Caetlen Gyhra and Kellen Habegger of Pawnee City.
Blue ribbon recipients included Jessica Bohling of JCC, and Hayden Meyer, Clayton Branek, and Collin Moser of Pawnee City.
