Provo • The Barnes brothers can’t do much of anything without competing. Whether it’s on the basketball court of the football field, Bryson, Colton and their other siblings are always looking for the edge and the bragging rights.
On Saturday at BYU, Colton Barnes, a junior at Milford High, added a few state championships in track and field to his resumé.
Barnes won 1A state titles in the 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters, and 4x100-meter relay.
“It feels great, honestly,” Colton Barnes said. “All the extra work I put in, it’s nice for it to pay off.”
Barnes said his brother Bryson was present to watch him compete in the four events. Bryson recently left Utah and committed to Utah State.
Barnes finished with first-place times of 11.50, 23.22, and 51.46 seconds in the 100, 200 and 400, respectively. He anchored the relay team, which finished at 44.65 seconds.
Barnes said he and Bryson were “truck buddies” on the pig farm, which he said they lost about three years ago. He also said he’s been getting recruited by some “small schools,” but is “always open, looking for more.” He’s a wide receiver at Milford.
