Pocatello, Idaho – Gold Metal Athletics, from Lehi, Utah, won the boys’ sprint medley relay at the 2017 Simplot Games.
 
Juniors Turner Koyle and Brandon Williams and seniors Mark Rockwood and Gabe Stock ran the medley relay in 3:37.10, earning them the top spot on the podium. The medley relay includes legs of 400, 200, 200 and 800 meters.

The athletes are all from various Utah schools and will begin their transition into the outdoor track season after Simplot Games. Seniors Rockwood and Stock both have hopes to attend college and continue their track careers.
