Woolfolk, 8, who competes on the Bremerton Speed out of Skateland, won three medals at the week-long championships that drew 50 teams and about 900 skaters from around the country.

The Speed's Logan Owen, 12, also won a gold medal in the elementary men's novice division. Overall, Bremerton earned two gold medals and two bronze and finished tied for 22nd overall.

Woolfolk earned a bronze in the primary boys event, then teamed with fellow 8-year-old JaPrea Pedesclaux to win the primary boys relay, beating Aidan Murphy-Booth and Jacob Anderson of Shelby, N.C.
