Brianna Curry, Andover: Jonathan Swift because his irony made good points of the society of his time
Danielle Dehaas, Andover: Arthur Conan Doyle because in his writings he actually gave insights of what was really happening on the streets of the Victorian era in London.
Eric Bolandt, Vernon: Vincent Van Gogh because he was an inventor. He set a standard for art and people still look back at it for inspiration. He shows people that they can progress in any area that they try.
Jade Ashe, Franklin: Deborah Sampson because she had an interesting story. She posed as a man in the War for Independence and was awarded medals of honor instead of being shunned as a woman.
Josh Meredith, Hopatong: Joshua Chamberlain because he saved the American Union at last second by using bluff out of the desperation of survival in the Battle of Gettysburg.
Kameron Sybesna, Wantage: Leonidas because he was an optimally decisive advocate of progression.
