Wyatt Hamlin, the son of Regina and Robert Garland, is a senior at Meadow Heights High School.

During his high school career, Hamlin has been a member of FFA for four years. He has participated in the district-level Grasslands Evaluation Contest and the state-level AG Mechanics Career Development Event.

Hamlin also works as a mechanic at Diamond K Repair. He plans to continue in this trade after high school. According to his boss, Jenny Kent, Hamlin is "a very dependable and capable diesel tech." His favorite part about where he works is getting the opportunity to work on all sorts of different things.

In 10 years, Hamlin sees himself still working as a mechanic and making big money.

In his free time, he enjoys hunting, working on engines, and hanging out with his friends. One of his closest friends, Hunter Mayfield, had a lot of fond memories to share.

"We've been friends since the sixth grade. We spent a lot of that time either tinkering on things together or just riding four-wheelers," Mayfield said. "Wyatt is someone that is easy to get along with."

Hamlin shared one memory from school that he will never forget.

"We were in the fourth grade when Garrett Barks, our grade's class clown, decided to stick a wire in the electrical outlet," Hamlin said. "He tripped a breaker and caused the whole class to erupt in shrieks and laughter. I'll never forget that day."
