Evan Argyle, a senior from Pleasant Grove, Utah, won the boys’ high jump at the 32nd annual Simplot Games with a time of 4.24.11. Argyle’s time was a personal best.
“My goal was to stick with the pack until the end, then see what kind of kick I could pull off,” Argyle said.
His strategy worked perfectly.
In third place entering the final turn, Argyle turned on the jets and outran second place finisher Roblet Muhudin of Aurora, Colo., and third place finisher Erik Harris of Twin Falls, Idaho, to the tape.
Argyle also saved his best Simplot Games finish for his final Games, improving from his previous best finish “somewhere around twentieth place” last year.
“I’ve been working hard, doing a lot of speed work,” Argyle said. “It paid off today.”
“It was a fast track, a fantastic crowd, the best competition. This is a great place to run.”
