Pocatello, Idaho – Ryan Smeeton, a junior from Calgary, Alberta, won the highly competitive boys’ 1600-meter run with a time of 4:16.87 at the 2015 Simplot Games.

Ryan came into the Games with hopes of improving his fifth place finish from last year. He’s had a great experience at Simplot Games and hopes to come back next year to compete.
