first year winning a gold and two silver medals.
Competing in the intermediate category, Phillip Kellum celebrated his
20th anniversary as an Olympic competitor and took home a gold and two
silver medals. Christopher won two gold medals and a fourth-place
ribbon, Ben took home a gold and silver, Grace won a gold, fourth- and
fifth-place ribbon, Gabriel took home a silver, McKayla received a
