Student Olympians from across Dawson County were going for gold last week as they sprinted, tossed and bowled in some very special games held at Lumpkin County High School. Wyatt Corn, a kindergartner at Riverview Elementary, won two first place ribbons and couldn't stop smiling at his accomplishment. "I know that Wyatt was really excited to get his two first place prizes," said Kris Corn, as she cuddled her 7-year-old son tight.
