The awards ceremony also recognized individual students from across the state for their achievements. Those awarded from The Cowley Press were as follows:

Jared McGuire: first in review writing, first in news photography, second in feature writing, second in column writing, third in front page design. Chansi Long: first in series writing, second in review writing

James Kasparek and Jessica Demel: first in photo essay

Mary Ast: first in sports news writing

Brady Bauman: second in sports news writing

William Earls: second in special section

Philip Roth: third in editorial cartoon

Victoria Ukaoma: third in editorial writing

“I was very pleased with the results of KACP,” said Managing Editor Jared McGuire. “Not only did we get the All-Kansas but the staff won a great deal of awards. As an editor it’s good to know you have a talented team working with you.”
