April 22, 2008 is a special day in the Lair family. Allison and Travis Lair welcomed their son, naming him Landon. He joined big sister Camryn, now 21. Grandparents Ron and Mary Lair and Ron and Melody Raub were beyond thrilled too.
When asked how long he has been a member of the Class of 2026, Landon says “forever!” That sums it up pretty succinctly.
In high school, Landon has been active in 4-H and trap shooting. When not at school, one might find Landon most likely working on equipment.
Landon has done a great job trap shooting. He received an 82 out of 3,000 people at state trap. He is also a 4-year letterwinner in trap.
His proudest moment was getting his transmission in his truck and breaking three transmissions in two years. Landon’s most embarrassing moments were either breaking the transmissions in his truck or totaling out a brand-new mower.
When asked what makes his class special, he says that they are all good friends. His advice to the underclassmen is to get mandatory classes out of the way as soon as possible!
Landon’s special people are his mom, dad, and Camryn.
Sometimes referred to by his nickname “big white man,” he looks forward to graduation. While not sure what he wants to do after graduation, one bets it will be something he enjoys.
Tiger Nation wishes Landon every success! Best of luck Landon!
