Simplot Games

Keiran Giraldo, a junior from Laramie, Wyo., won the girls’ 1600 meters, with a time of 4:57.58. Though she was sick last year and couldn’t make the finals, she worked hard to bounce back.

Austin Plewe, a senior from American Fork, Utah, won the boys 1600 meters with a time of 4:11.97, which is the new 7th fastest time in the nation. He said he came to Simplot Games to “shoot my shot.”

Sophia Gonzales, a senior from Laramie, Wyo., won the girls’ 3200 meters with a time of 11:02.54.

Jackson Spencer, a senior from Syracuse, Utah, won the boys 3200 meters with a time of 8:50.50. He said he was “shooting for Danny’s [Daniel Simmons] record” [of 8:48.08] but just missed. Jackson said that he loves the Games; he will run for Brigham Young next year.
