The top-placing intermediate (ages 11-13) was Katie Burroughs from Calvert County. Cameron Dorsey from Frederick County placed second. Magdalena Goodmuth from Howard County was third.
The senior competitors were split into two groups. Among members of the Maryland state skillathon team, Charlie Sasscer placed first and had the most points among all seniors. Helen King and Sarah Manning placed second and third, respectively.
Among the rest of the seniors, Aislinn Latham from Frederick County was the top-placing senior (ages 14-18). Cody Boden from Virginia placed second. Brianne Hevner from Carroll County was the third place senior.
