Dave Yocum, from Park City, Utah, didn’t fail to make his annual trip North for the Simplot Games this year, even though he only brought one competitor with him. Yocum has been coming to watch the Simplot Games since the early 1980s when he was a member of the Idaho State track team.
“Simplot Games was big then, and it’s even bigger now,” says Yocum.
Yocum’s lone athlete at the 2010 games is Blake Thorne. Thorne will be competing in the boys 60-meter dash later today at 2 p.m.
“I’m a little nervous, but not much,” says Thorne.
Yocum says he hopes and expects Thorne to go under 7.3. He anticipates that being the cutoff to reach the 60-meter final Saturday at 12:25 p.m. As Thorne and the rest of the competitors await their turn, you can follow the 2010 Simplot Games on Facebook and Twitter, or watch live on flotrack.org.
