Olympic greatness stopped by for lunch 🇺🇸 Gold medalist André Phillips and 3x Olympian Willie Banks joined us in Pocatello while in town for the Simplot Games at ISU. Proud to serve Team USA — and the next generation chasing it. 🍕 #SimplotGames #TeamUSA #MacKenzieRiver

I had a great experience running indoors for the first time. I competed in the 4x400m, 4x200m, and 400m events and qualified for the relays. I achieved two second places and one first place. Not bad for my first time #simplotgames #idahostateuniversity #indoor #track #highschool
