Michael Okoro, a senior, from Federal Way, Washington, pulled out a victory in the boys’ 400-meter event with a time of 49.14 at the 32nd Simplot Games.
Although Okoro didn’t go under 49 seconds, which was his goal, he was happy to walk away from this big of an event with a win.
“This was a great experience,” said Okoro. “I’m not happy with my time, but it’s great to get the win.”
Okoro was followed closely by Andy Rounds, a junior, from Salt Lake City, Utah, who crossed the finish line with a time of 49.25. Third place went to Kevin Scheuerman, a senior, from Highlands Ranch, Colorado, with a time of 49.41.
