The Top Academics Award is presented to the student who earns the highest academic average. Lentz received the award for her achievements in both levels. Ramos received the Top Shot-Best on Range Award, given in recognition of outstanding marksmanship and the class’s highest ranking in firearms training through marksmanship, safety, and tactical proficiency in both levels.
