During the award ceremony we will also acknowledge the hardest training students of 2019. This specific award is called the student of the year, they will be presented to the top students in their class who deserve to be recognized for their hard work and dedication, regardless of the competition results. A top student is one who trains consistently and shows exceptional spirit and tenacity. This individual trains with full focus throughout all of their classes, only five students from the kids/teens classes will be selected.
