WYOMING ATHLETES PLACE IN 2025 SIMPLOT GAMES FINALS

Pocatello, Idaho – Wyoming athletes competed and placed in several events throughout the finals of the 45th Simplot Games. After three days of intense competition inside Idaho State University’s ICCU Dome, several Wyoming Athletes placed in the top six finishers. Many athletes outpaced and outperformed their competition taking first in their events.

• Landon Walker, a senior from Casper, won the boy’s triple jump and boys’ long jump. “The competition at Simplot Games pushes you to go further,” said Walker. “I was feeling good.”
• Chance Morris, a senior from Casper, won the boys’ 200-meter dash. “This year the sprinters in Wyoming are sprouting,” said Morris. “We want everyone to know that Wyoming isn’t just for distance runners, it’s for sprinters too.”
• Lainey Berryhill, a sophomore from Laramie, took first place in the girls’ 400-meter dash. “I was thinking the only one whose performance I can control is my own, so I just kept control and did my best,” she said. It was her first time at Simplot Games: “It was really fun, and really good competition.”
