The Simplot Games:
One of the West's Premier High School
Track & Field Events
Each year, on the third weekend in February, the Simplot Games offers high school athletes the opportunity to go head-to-head against the finest competitors in the U.S and Canada. Held at the Holt Arena on the campus of Idaho State University, the Games' unique 200 meter banked-board track is one of the fastest in the nation. Records are broken each year at this one-of-a-kind indoor facility.
Some of the 2000 young athletes who take part in the Simplot Games each year will go on to find glory in their college careers. Others may even go on to the Olympics. But for everyone who competes, the Simplot Games provides a unique and rewarding experience.
The J.R. Simplot Company, sponsor of the Games since 1979, is dedicated to providing a positive experience for all participants, and prides itself in putting on a meet that is well organized and officiated by a qualified, professional staff.
