Lake Lanier athletes were in several Pan American Championships finals on Saturday, but it wasn’t until the mid-afternoon senior men four-man kayak (K4) 1,000 meter race that local paddlers stood proudly on the awards podium as the American flag was raised behind them. Winning bronze for Team USA were two Gainesville men, Stanton Collins and Aaron Mullican, who were joined by Shawn Kaho’okele from Hawaii and Tim Burdiak from California, for a time of 3 minutes, 32.96 seconds. For Collins, it was his second Pan Am medal having won gold two years ago in Mexico City in the K2 500.
