Farmington's Aaron Lane is an up-and-coming pentathlete
Aaron Lane has spent the last seven months honing his skills in all the disciplines required of a 19th-century soldier. But the 16-year-old son of Bob and Bobbi Lane of Farmington isn’t some overly-dedicated Civil War reenactor. He’s a pentathlete. The modern pentathlon features fencing, equestrian show jumping, a combination of running and shooting, and swimming, all of which Baron Pierre de Courbertin, the father of the modern Olympic Games, believed represented the necessary skills for battle.By: Matt Steichen, The Farmington Independent
