by Clayton Cook

Alex Gwynn, a senior from Cody, Wyoming, dominated the Simplot Games boys’ pole vault, winning the event by clearing a height of 15’6”. He was followed by teammate Quinn Rivera, a sophomore, who cleared a height of 14’6”

“I’m very happy with my height,” said Gwynn. “I could have done higher, but I have nothing to complain about.”

Gwynn said he was excited that he got to finish his career the right way at the Simplot Games. He said he had a “horrible” meet in 2008, and was unable to compete in 2009 due to an injury.

The two Wyoming boys were followed by Kirk Capdeville, a senior from Hinsdale, Montana, who cleared a height of 13’6”.
