9-year-old completes nearly perfect bracket
LYON COUNTY, IA (KELO) — With March Madness coming to a close, many of us are still coming to terms with our busted brackets, but that is not the case for a fourth-grader from northwest Iowa. Of the more than 24 million brackets in this year's ESPN Men's Tournament Challenge, 9-year-old Breezy Landegent's bracket did better than 99.9% of them. 'I was just like, 'Wow, really?'' Breezy said. 'My husband's work does one, a bracket challenge, so they allow immediate family members to participate in it. Both my husband and I had filled them out, so one morning at breakfast, the day the tournament started, actually, we said, 'Hey, Breezy you should probably quick do one of these too.' So it was a very last-minute decision,' Breezy's mother, Maggie Landegent said. Thrive Housing Fair to be held April 11th Breezy picked seven of the Elite 8 teams and correctly predicted every team in the Final Four. She was also just one point off from guessing the total points of the championship game. You might be wondering how she did it. Well, Breezy kept it simple. 'I just did the best number, so if there was like a two and a three, I would probably pick the two,' Breezy said. And why did she pick Florida to win? 'Because we go to Florida a lot, so I just like that state. So I picked Florida,' Breezy said 'It was just exciting. It's fun when you do something just kind of randomly without a whole lot of thought or effort put into it, and it ends up kind of panning out for you. It was just a fun win for the day,' Maggie Landegent said. After the fun she had during this year's March Madness, Breezy plans to fill out a bracket again next year. 'Yeah, I'll probably do it again, but it's probably only a one time thing that I'll get it this good,' Breezy said. Breezy also won a $50 cash prize from her dad's office, but she has not decided how she will spend it. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
