When asked what they did over summer break, two Liberty students are able to say they competed in the 2024 All-American Soapbox Derby. One of those students can add that he is a world champion.

Hudson Danzilo, a 10th grader, earned the 2024 masters division championship and received a $1,000 scholarship. Fourth-grader Ava Diehl finished in eighth place in the stock division.

The two pursued their potential by competing with racers from around the world in Akron, Ohio, in July.

Racers qualify by competing in local Soapbox Derby or via earning enough rally points to qualify. Ava and Hudson won their divisions in the Sullivan County Soapbox Derby, held annually, the first Saturday after Memorial Day in Liberty. Ava competed in the stock division (ages 7-13) and Hudson competed in the Masters division (ages 12-21). Competitors race against each other in gravity-driven vehicles built within specifications determined by the organization in a single elimination bracket style race to determine a champion.
