Wakefield Elementary first grader Daniel Hong set 2 world records and won all events for his age group at the World Speed Stacking Competition in Denver, Colorado on April 19.
"I am so proud of him," said Wakefield Elementary PE teacher Nancy Kelley-Cram.
Hong learned speed stacking in kindergarten. It's a timed competition where students use specially designed plastic cups to build pyramids of varying patterns in a specific sequence. Hong's parents took him to the regional competition this year in Greensboro where he won first place for his age group in four events and he placed first in the state competition held at Wingate College March 21.
You can find more information about the competition here and view his visit to WRAL here.
