At the conclusion of each session, judges selected one gymnast worthy of a Strength of Character Award. Lydia Thompson, a level 10 competitor from Bel Air, Ashley Kutcher, a level 8 competitor from Bel Air, and Caitlyn Allen, a level 7 competitor from Forest Hill, represented Harford Gymnastics as recipients of this award for their respective sessions.
