Everyday he is at the YMCA lifting weights and four of those days he is pulling double duty, attending club practices at 4M or driving to Pleasant Gap to practice at M2. Landon also has increased his workout routine this season as he wakes up some mornings to run 3-4 miles before a match or school, all for his main goal of becoming a PIAA state champion. He puts in a lot of time and works very hard for his accomplishments.”
