A silver medal was earned by Hadi Al-Aithan from the Al-Ahsa education department. Ahmed Al-Shehri (Riyadh), Muath Al-Qahtani (Eastern Province), Mohammed Rabie (Madinah), and Youssef Bakheet (Yanbu) all took home bronze medals.
The Eastern Province’s Muhammad Al-Ghamdi was given a certificate of appreciation.
