Conor and Colin are the same age.

Step-by-step explanation:
Lamoie(oldest), shawn, colin

Conor(2 years younger), jakeem, caleb (youngest)

from here i gave them random ages starting at 12(age doesn’t matter because they would be the same age either way just because of the years apart). lamoie is the oldest, so going down from his group is 12,11,10.
conor is 2 years younger than him, so that makes him 10. and we know caleb is the youngest of his group, so going down my two is 10,8,6. conor is 10 and colin is 10.
