t-and-f: Simplot

[John Lunn]

Thanks to the Simplot Corporation for sponsoring this fantastic track
meet.
I've been to thousands of track meets and have never been to a better
meet than the one put on by Simplot.
I would encourage every high school athlete to compete there, every
track fan to enjoy, and every meet director to take notes.

t-and-f: Simplot prelims (HS)

[John Dye]

POCATELLO ID 2/15/02 -- A full day of prelims qualifying for Saturday's
3-section finals mostly followed form. There were some surprises though:
Previously unranked Diane Anderson, Denver East CO jr, popped a 56.73 to
lead the girls 400 meter qualifiers; Mountain View UT freshman Heidi Houle
got a 4-second PR at 2:13.30 US#4 to lead an experienced gang of 800 meter
runners into the finals; James McSwain of Nevada ran 7.00 to edge Rubin
Williams CA (7.03 and 22.54) for fastest boys 60 meter qualifier, and Ogden
UT jr Steven Shepherd's 1:57.85 to lead US#1 Courtney Jaworski WA 1:59.71
into the 800 meter finals. (No spikes allowed in prelims at Simplot.)
Expected girls relay showdowns between United Stars PA and Wilson Long Beach
CA (aka Teekay Track Club) fizzled when Teekay was a no-show. Self Esteem
Through Athletics, of Seattle WA, scratched from the relays due to star 400m
man Darren Woods' sore ankle, leaving the field open to Transit Tech NY,
US#3 4x400 squad.
