Champions in Training Program Member Saahil Tiwary was the big winner with the full rainbow of medals with 1 gold, 1 silver, and 1 bronze.

12-year old Ashwin Sankuratri was one of the top performers in the US Mini-Cadet
National Team Trials (boys 13 years and under) in addition to winning one gold. Nearly everyone who participated got a medal as 9-year old Tarun Sankuratri, younger brother of Ashwin, was one match away from a medal and Rithwik Vaidun was two matches away from a medal but had to return home early so had to default his final 16 match.
