World's finest converge in Pocatello
Previews
** THE BIG PICTURE from Rich Gonzalez - Headlined by four of the top high school-age vaulters on the planet and a record-setting crew of female hurdlers, the 30th annual Simplot Games indoor meet taking place in Pocatello, Idaho this weekend appears well equipped to once again showcase leading track and field talent in its trademark entertaining and upbeat setting. READ MORE
** EVENT by EVENT from Mike Kennedy - For 30 years, the Simplot Invitational has been the crown jewel of high school indoor track in the Western United States – and this year is no difference as many of the best athletes in the nation will converge on Pocatello, Idaho this weekend. The very best pole vaulters will be in action for both the boys and the girls. The same can be said for girls in both the sprints and the hurdles, as well at both the long jump and triple jump. The long sprint and the middle distances are both quality events for the boys, as are the shot put and the weight throw. GIRLS | BOYS
** DISTANCE SUBPLOTS from Dave Devine - Luke Puskedra has been here before. A year ago, before he was the preeminent prep miler in the country, before he was the reigning Arcadia 2-mile champion or the Bob Firman Invite titlist or the NTN Southwest Regional winner or the Foot Locker All-American, before he was known as the runner who guns it from the start—lactic acid and oxygen depletion be damned—he was here in Pocatello, Idaho, a callow junior with an outdoor 1600 PR somewhere north of 4:20 and an 800 best of 2:04.
