Look for top Oregon athlete at Simplot Games
Jarvis Jefferson, a sophomore from Grants Pass, Oregon, won the 2009 USATF Oregon Jr. Olympic Championship Discus and 12lb Shot Put events.
Top California athletes ready to represent at the 32nd Simplot Games
Athletes to keep an eye on from California include:
· Ciarra Brewer, a junior from Union City, California. Brewer took home the Simplot Games title in 2009. Last year she also placed first in the Nike Indoor Nationals and the California Interscholastic Federation California State Track and Field Championships with a personal best 42’ 11.5” mark. She set the National Age 14 record and a National Sophomore indoor record in 2008.
· Ashton Purvis, a senior from Oakland, California. Purvis is the nation’s top ranked sprinter in both the 60 and 200 meter races. She is looking to win the Simplot Games for her third time in both events. Purvis was the bronze medalist in the World Youth Games in 2009. In 2008 set the sophomore world indoor record in the 60 meters with a time of 7.38.
· Trinity Wilson, a sophomore from Oakland, California is ranked first nationally in the 60 meter-hurdles. She is looking to defend her Simplot Games title from last year where she also set the national freshman record with a time of 8.44 seconds.

Last Minute Reminder
After registration is closed on Monday, Feb. 15th, the heating and seeding for all running events will begin. When that is completed, the entries in ALL events will be posted on our website by late Tuesday or early Wednesday. Watch for the posting and double check your entries. Errors have already surfaced - girl in the boys' races, 400m times entered in the 800m, etc. The sooner a mistake is found, the greater chance it can be corrected and the athlete entered in the correct event. If mistakes are found at check-in, a lane might not be available and athletes will miss competing. Call 208-235-5604 with corrections - but NO marks changes.
Review the Event Rules on our website regarding footwear, blocks, lapped runners, lane cut lines, advancement to finals, etc. No spikes are allowed in Thursday's or Friday's preliminary running events; spikes of ¼” are allowed for all field events (excluding shot put).
