Running Accomplishments:

14th Male Freshmen Runner at Footlocker West (2014).

7th in the 3A 3200m (2015 Track Season/Freshman Year)

 

Freshman

This year was just a begining for me. First time being in the real workouts, first time racing in the real races, no more of the short middle school boys and girls races. I really started here, I was able to run with the first people to really make this team become nationally noticed. That was awesome for me to see and it really inspired me to be that much more of a better runner. Also during this year I broke the Freshman Records at my school in the 800m, 1600m, and the 3200m.

Cross Country 

3 Mile PR : 16:22 (Cedar Invite)

5K PR : 17:00 (NXR Southwest)

Track

800m PR : 2:06 (Dixie Invitational)

1600m PR :  4:36 (Desert Hills Invitational)

3200m PR :  9:52 (Pine View Invitational)

Sophmore

This year I was really apart of the Varsity team. For cross country I was mainly 6th guy, but sometimes 5th. I really was able to learn a lot from all of the seniors and really connect with them. We took Region and State and I metaled in some of the races which was kind of a new thing for me. Then, in track I was one of the top 4 distance guys on the team and was scoring points every race. I really improved on my times, but not enough to get any class or school records. But, I did individually win a race and that was awesome. I qualified for the 3200m and 1600m at state and took 3rd and 5th. And it was really a good improvement from last year.

3 miles in the morning.

In the afternoon started the warmup with an annoying pain in my knee that eventually went away before the workout. We had a 4x1000 and 4x200 workout. Felt great today, a little slow to start with a 3:18, then 3:12, 3:11, and finished with a 3:08. And for the 200's hit around 35's for the first 3 and for the last one 30 seconds.

Woke up at 6 o'clock eastern time, for those who haven't yet adjusted to eastern time I felt like I woke up at 4 o'clock in the morning to go and run. 2 mile warmup and then 10x30 hard with 10x30 easy. Finished with whatever I needed to reach 7 miles.

Ran 8 miles in some adventurous places, one specifically that I like to call "Death Row" because this morning it definitely had the sight of death because of the Orange-ish/Red-ish lights, foggy atmosphere, and a lake that appeared to be Gator infested. I did get some good quick times as I ran in this area.

3 miles in the morning. Super nervous to race against the top of the top in region nine.

In the afternoon ran at the Hurricane Invitational 1600m today and 3200m tomorrow. 1600m felt really good 1:12, 1:11, 1:14, 1:09. To much of a jog on the third lap and tried my hardest to make up ground on the last lap. On the bright side I qualified for BYU and past a couple of people on the last lap. Not a bad time for the first meet of the year.

Today I started with cheering on the girls for Desert Hills before warming up. Then we warmed up 2 miles, during the two miles I was super nervous because I have never ran a 2 mile race before and if it was two miles it was when I was a kinderfesh and it was cross country so I was nervous for the reasons shown. As we came back from the warmup we got to the field and the first race of the girls was coming to a close. And the second one started. We cheered on the Schimbecks as we began calisthenics and strides. I went to get a sticker and looked at the heat sheet and saw that I was projected 11th in the race. I was so discombobulated that I didn't get a sticker until the race was minutes from starting. When we were being placed on the line I was standing one spot behind Alex Hill and as the gun shot he was of and I was somewhat in the back with Tanner Sharp and I could hear President Coach John Powell saying "Stick on Tanner Bryson!" I guess you could say that that was my game plan. As he moved up, I moved up. It slowly went on like that for the first mile in which my split was dead on what I was looking for 5:04. From here the "keeping up with Tanner" really began. On the 7th lap I noticed that we were coming up on Eric Lambert from Cedar and further ahead of him was Bronco and Spencer from Dixie. Eventually we hit the last lap and off goes Tanner. It was like I had lost my front tire I didn't know what to do except for chase it down. I hit the last 200m of the race and was too far off to catch anyone but I could prevent being caught and even cut down time. The quote that I thought of was surprisingly from Eminem "if you had one chance to seize everything you ever wanted? Would you take it or just let it slip?" I chase down the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, although I didn't catch any of them I was close to Spencer and was relived that the race was over.

3 miles in the morning. Legs still a little stiff from Saturday.

Tough workout today in the heat and wind. 4x1200m, 3x300m, and 4x100m. In the 1200m we had a 800m split then went AO in the last 400m. 300m we hit a 52's. In the 100m we didn't time them but they felt like we were going so fast that we could have raced Usain Bolt.
