Best food item: Grilled Cheese

Most would say the chicken baskets were the best, but the grilled cheese at Portal 24 was the best. The cheesiness and crispiness filled anyone’s stomach up and it was the perfect comfort food.

Best shirt: Eclipse

These shirts were the most creative and fun out of all the shirts. The design on the back a green iguana and each shirt rocked their Four Diamond child’s name on the front. This design overall was cute.

Best performance: Walk the Moon

Walk the Moon’s performance shook the BJC and set the mood for the rest of the weekend. They featured songs like “One Foot” and “Lost in the Wild.” They also played “Shut Up and Dance,” which embodied THON completely.

Best encouragement video: Joe Jonas

On Sunday before Family Hour, without warning, Joe Jonas popped on the Jumbotron to tell everyone a message. This message was very heartwarming and coming from Joe Jonas was an experience nobody was expecting.

Best Line Dance: Generation line dance (2019, 2020,2021, 2022, 2023, 2024)

The second to last line dance was the favorite of the weekend. This dance included 6 dances where each Dancer Relations captain from each year did their line dance to their respective year. This was the most heartwarming and the greatest dance to end the weekend.
