He was a great track athlete in high school
Simmons’ athleticism has never been in doubt. In high school, he also excelled in track.
He was a multi-state champion as a long jumper. He holds the state record in Kansas — 24-feet-seven. He came in second at state in the 200 meters. He admitted he should have won and that he let up at the end of the race. “I thought I had it,” he said. “It was my fault.” He also won state as part of the relay team.
