National high school track and field eventby Tyler Gibbons
Pocatello, Idaho – After an exceptional day of competition, an abundance of Idaho high school track and field athletes will compete in event finals Saturday at the 31st Annual Simplot Games.
The all-Idaho relays pit teams from all across the state against one another in the boys and girls 4x200-meter event. One of Simplot’s showcase events will determine the fastest bunch of Idahoans.
Geraldo Hiwat and Kasen Covington enter as heavy favorites in the long and triple jump events while their YMCA Team Idaho teammate Sam Nielson is expected to be a major player in the girls’ long jump and triple jump.
“I was feeling good today and tomorrow should go even better,” said Covington. “I’m ready to jump over 50 feet.”
“I’m feeling great and I’m ready to fly,” stated Nielson.
