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 today. Wanted to take it really easy the doctor said that I shouldn't elevate my heart rate too much. And coach thatcher said that a ten minute mile wouldn't elevate it so that's what I'm doing. Started with a .5 mile warmup, then jogged around the turf while the others ran the time trial. And ran a two mile cool down with those who ran the time trial.

Today I ran the Dirty Hurty and it was a lot of fun. I ran most of the race with Spencer Klomp, Bailey and Lily. I felt really good and didn't want to go too fast and risk getting a bloody nose. So the first 2 mils were around 9:30, then the next two around 9:00, and the next three were around 8:00. After that we hit the aid station and stopped to refill. I was feeling really good and started the last half. I finished at a time of 1:52.19 and that's a lot better than what I thought I was going to get and it is reassuring to know that even after I finished I felt like I could have pushed it a lot harder. But averaged 8:34 miles. Congrats to Sage for winning the race.

7 miles total today. For spring break my family and I went to Steamboat Springs, Colorado and this morning it was snowing a lot so I just went to the gym at my hotel. That was definitely not my first choice but I didn't want to slip on something and be out when I just got back. 3 mile warmup and then I did the workout which was 10x:30sec. Finished it up with a cool down to get the mileage.

I met a guy from Dallas yesterday and he was talking about an awesome trail by my hotel. So I started running towards where the trail would be at about a mile I realized that he was from Dallas, one of Americas concrete jungles, and that a trail to him was probably the bike path I was already on. But, still it was a good run with a nice view. 6 miles total.

Drove out to Warner Valley and met up with Kasey and Ethan, we kept the run around 7:30 pace. On the last mile we subconsciously went harder than planned, but I felt really good during the whole run, no aches or pains.

Three miles in the morning.

Ran the Panther Relays today. Warmed up then ran the 1600m in the DMR felt really good coach said he would get my time but didn't so whatever. Then ran the 4x100m hurdle relays and my team crushed it, we got the participation award! Then I ran the 4x100m with Dallen Gilespie and Mitchell Price from Pine View and Matt was also on my team. My fourth race was the 4x200m and my team didn't get last which was a great accomplishment! Ran around the turf while the open 1600 was going on and So I could get a couple more miles.

Race: Chandler Rotary Invitational (1.988 Miles) 00:09:43

I started out the day watching some of my teammates race. I watched Garrick Sharp race the 100m and then Bailey and Lily race the 1600m and after that I watched Boston race the 1600 as well. All of them did awesome. We then had some lunch and played some dying light. Afterwards we went back to watch Laynee race the 1600m and she crushed it.

In a couple hours we started to warmup and about that time I was feeling the nerves. It was good we did some strides and laughed a little. I was put into box 3 right behind Jaiden. The first mile was good, but probably a little too quick. I was only a couple people behind Alec Parsons and I was right behind Jaiden. During the next two laps I fell back a little bit and was right behind Josh I stayed with him for the last two laps and I finished hard and finished right behind Sage at a PR time of 9:43.

Started out with a 2 mile warmup, and then some strides. Our workout was 20x400m and it was tough. The first 8x400m were at 1:13-1:15 pace with 1:30 recovery. The next 4x400m were at 1:10-1:12 pace with 1:00 recovery.  The next 4x400m were at 1:08 pace with :45 recovery. The next 4x400m were at 1:08-1:06 pace with :30 recovery.

My actual times were: 1:17, 1:15, 1:15, 1:15, 1:15, 1:15, 1:14, 1:13, 1:12, 1:11, 1:10, 1:10, 1:08, 1:08, 1:08, 1:07, 1:06, 1:06, 1:06, 1:05

The last couple were tough, but I felt really good. Sage started to fall back just a little bit and I went with Jaiden. And on the last one it was just me and Jaiden because Sage and Boston were waiting on their heart rate. Jaiden said that I should lead this one and I took it out hard and finished harder and ran the fastest 400 this workout.

Ran a little cooldown to get the mileage.

10 miles on a beautiful trail. Ran while the sun rose and it was just an amazing run. Had some good conversations with Boston and Sage. Ran to the edge of a cliff and looked off it was a really good run and was even better because it wasn't on one of our regular trails.
