The Simplot Games is the largest indoor high school
track and field meet in the West. Always held at Idaho
State University in Pocatello, Idaho, 2014 marked the
36th Annual Simplot Games with approximately 2,000
athletes competing.
2014 brought several changes to the event with a team
from Mexico competing for the first time. In addition, the
400-meter invitational race was newly introduced for both
men and women. Each year, meet records are broken
as young athletes compete to get one step closer to a
potential Olympic qualification.
As part of the Simplot Games tradition, former Olympians
participate each year in the event. Olympians Dick Fosbury,
Andre Phillips, Willie Banks, and Idaho State University
alumna Stacy Dragilaare were just a few of the Olympians
who have joined the athletes and coaches for the
annual event.
