Pocatello, Idaho- A year after setting the national freshman record in the 60-meter hurdles, sophomore Trinity Wilson, from Oakland, Calif., returned to Pocatello and posted the exact same electronic time, 8.44 seconds. However, today was the preliminary heat. And she, like all other competitors, was not allowed to wear her track spikes.
A scary thought for the rest of the field.
“My goal (in the prelims) was to work on my technique,” Wilson said. “And to show everybody that I’m here to run.”
Other top athletes who qualified for Saturday’s finals are:
· Kasen Covington (senior from Boise), the top ranked high school triple jumper in the U.S. qualified for both the long and triple jump finals.
· Ashton Purvis (senior from Oakland, Calif.), the nation’s top girls sprinter is set to defend both of her Simplot Games titles in the 60 -and 200-meter dashes.
· Ciarra Brewer (junior from Union City, Calif.), the number one ranked girls triple jumper qualified for both the long and triple jumps.
