Pocatello, Idaho- Ashton Purvis, a junior from Oakland, California, earned a two-time moment of glory for the second year in a row on the winner’s podium Saturday, February 21 at the Simplot Games. Purvis walked away with two 1st place medals; one in the girls’ 60-meter dash and another in the girls’ 200-meter dash. This California junior was a little disappointed with her times, but still excited with her double-win.
“I was hoping for a 7.2” in the 60, but I know it’s still a win for me,” says Purvis (Purvis took the Freshman Class record in the 60-meter dash, and the Freshman and Sophomore class record in the 200-meter dash at the Simplot Games in 2007 and 2008). “The 200 made up for it a little.”
In the girls’ 60-meter dash Purvis ran a 7:47 and a 23:99 in the 200 meter dash.
Other girls’ 60-meter winners:
Leslie Reed Antioch, CA 7.71
Lauren Rose Antioch, CA 7.73
Kellie Schueler Bend, OR 7.76
Monikkia White Tracy, CA 7.83
Malaina Payton Tracy, CA 7.93
