The brightest spot of the weekend belonged to Landen Bartleson, who won the gold medal in four events (100 meter dash, 200 meter dash, 400 meter dash and the long jump).
“Landen had a great week of practice, so I knew there was a shot for him to win in all four of the events he competed in. It was just amazing what he did this weekend,” said coach Terry Yeast.
