Brooke Weimer of Boise, Idaho, Wins the Girls’ Long Jump at the 2019 Simplot Games

Teammate Lauren Foster places third

Pocatello, Idaho– Brooke Weimer, a junior from Boise, Idaho, won the girls’ long jump at the 2019 Simplot Games with the mark of 18’10.25”.
“This jump was a big PR for me,” Weimer said. “Last year I placed seventh, so placing first was quite an improvement.”
Weimer had the same distance as second-place finisher Alysah Hickey, a senior from Tualatin, Oregon. To break the tie, they went back to the second jump where Weimer had the further distance by a quarter of an inch.
Weimer’s teammate, senior Lauren Foster, took third place with a mark of 18’8.25”.
