Pocatello, Idaho-Colorado senior Kevin Johnson won the boys’ 3200-meter run at Simplot Games on Saturday, February 21. After his 16th lap around the track, Johnson showed no signs of slowing down, but rather, a twinkling eye full of victory. Johnson ran a time of 9:16.22.

“I trained hard for this, so I feel I did really well,” says Johnson (a Simplot Games veteran). “I came here as a freshman, and wanted to do it again as a senior.”
