A clean sweep for Ashton Purvis, a senior, from Oakland, Calif. Staying true to form, Purvis did it again, and for the third year in a row, swept the 60-and 200-meter events at the Simplot Games.
“I’m really going to miss Simplot,” Purvis said. “This was my first high school track meet ever, so I’m glad I left on a high note.”
Purvis won two events in less than two hours. She won the girls 200 meter dash with a time of 23.54, and the 60-meter hurdles in 7.36.
“I was really nervous at the beginning,” Purvis said. “But after that first turn the nerves subsided and I let my form take over.”
