Re: Landen Eyre….State Champ 1600 and 3200
Closing a 10-meter gap in the final 120 meters of the 1600 and overtaking the top competitor with 30 meters remaining in the 3200 demonstrates his exceptional endurance and racing instinct. His impressive list of accolades—including 4 state championships, multiple podium finishes, 13 district titles, and being a state record holder in the 3200 with a 9:01.59—solidifies his status as one of the best runners in the state's history.
