Polson's Ryan Dupuis captured the No. 10 spot, while Mission's Andrew Rush placed 14th. Fellow Bulldogs Robbie Nuila and Zoran LaFrombois both turned in sub-19s to make the Top 20, while Polson’s Drifter Skillicorn, Noah Roberts and Brandt Heninger, and Ronan's Keyan Pretty On Top all clocked in with sub-20s to make the Top 40.
