Khadijat Durosinlorun claimed the girls' title for the second year in a row, crediting her consistent training and family support for her success. Abdul Hamid Durosinlorun triumphed in the boys' division, expressing his delight that his parents were proud of his accomplishment. Junior YellowGreens claimed the Division One title, marking their first-ever win in the competition.
