Simplot Indoor Games - Pocatello, Idaho - 2/19-2/21/04

There are no California prep indoor meets left unfortunately, with many of the Golden State stars heading this weekend to Pocatello, Idaho for the Simplot Indoor Games on the campus of Idaho State University. Held on a 200 meter banked board track that is laid down over the floor of an indoor football arena, the setting is magnificent, with the JR Simplot team helping each year to gather a ton of great athletes from around the nation. A good sized group of Californians are heading to the Rocky Mountain area and probably actually a bit of real winter weather to test themselves this weekend. Today, we preview the Golden State Boys, tomorrow the young ladies! It will be a very good meet with some record possibilities and great tests for many of the Golden State's best!! - Read on
