Anna Rodgers, from Spokane, Wash., Places First in the Girl’s Long Jump at the 2018 
Simplot Games
Pocatello, Idaho – Anna Rodgers, a senior from Spokane, Wash., placed first in the girls’ long jump at the 2018 Simplot Games with a jump of 19’05.25”.
“It was my fourth year and my final jump, but I was jumping in the eighteens (over 18 feet),” Rodgers said. “I gave it all I had on my final jump, and even though it’s not in the twenties (over twenty feet) like I wanted, I guess I’m satisfied with 19’ 05”…for now.”
This was Rodgers’ last year at Simplot Games, but she is hoping to jump over twenty feet in her outdoor season this year.
More than 2,200 athletes will come from across the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand to participate in the 40th annual Simplot Games. Simplot Games remains the nation’s premier high school indoor track and field event. Sponsored by the J.R. Simplot Company since 1979, the Simplot Games are held at Idaho State University’s Holt Arena in Pocatello, Idaho.
