To all kid's representing Colorado at the 2012 Simplot Games - BIG kudo's and GREAT job, all!!!
And... way to "Tebow" it during the Parade of Athletes!! Very fun!!!
Coach, you are in fact correct about that Ric Rojas 4X800 team containing Kelly Robinson and Bex Hermann....Bex ran the first leg, Kelly the second, Maura O'Brien of Evergreen ran the third leg and Emma Sanchez of Fairview anchored the team. They ran a 9:44 and won by 5 seconds posting the fastest girl's 4X800 at Simplot in 4 years....needless to say, it was another great moment for those two Ned girls, all of that relay team, and for Ric's whole team in general as we put many kids in the finals and more than a few onto the podium....it was an awesome three days of racing and if I hadn't seen that kid from Canada run a 1:49 800, I wouldn't have believed it!!.....some amazing performances at Simplot for sure!
Results for Pole Vault were just posted and Dillon Manzanares cleared 15' (PR) to place 3rd. [40 boys - 21 in the finals]
CJ Deters and Deshaun Harris also competed in the shot put. Deters threw 55'3" to take third and Deshaun Harris took 12th with 48'4"
