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.

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.

Today I woke up really excited for the Golden Hour. I got a two mile warmup in and as I started to put my spikes on and out of the blue my nose started to bleed... BADLY. I tried to stop it on my own, then I looked for my dad who I just spoke to. After, I couldn't find him I ran to where I knew coach would be. I told coach what had happened and he said not to worry. He helped wash wash the blood off and helped it stop by getting some tampons from who knows where and putting them in my nose, and by the way they worked quite well. It stopped the blood in a couple minutes. Now after the last call I went to the bullpen and got everything situated and started last minute warmups and strides. The gun had gone off and I went out really fast. The first mile I came across at 4:53ish. The last mile was 5:13. This is definatly not what I wanted for this weekend. But, that is ok... I have region and state in the next two weeks to turn it around.

3 miles in the morning.

2 laps for a small warmup and 2 miles for a bigger warmup then another 2 laps for another small warmup. Strides then coach told us our teams for a relay. 4x400m per person basically all out. My team was composed of three people. Haley, Lily, and myself, we were looking pretty stacked. The team with the most roadkills (people passed) wins. And I'm not quite sure how we finished.

2 miles warmup. The race was really good for the first four laps I went out with Sage and Kale just to see how things would go. After 4 pretty good laps the leaders of the race decided to slow way down and eight of us were in a pack. This was way hard to get around, but eventually I got through and passed Jaiden Melendrez and that was kind of weird. Nevertheless I found myself behind Josh Thatcher and Sage Ducote. I kept up with these guys until I had 800m left and started to go faster they had the same idea but went faster than I was going. Kale caught up to me and passed me with about 600m left. Preston Warby and Spencer Nevile eventually passed me with 500m left. I was beginning to think "Ninth isn't too bad for my first year. Right?" But with about 300m left I remembered what I had wrote down and decided to go all Danny Diez and go for the win. I passed them before the 200m mark and didn't let anyone pass me after that. I had almost caught Sage who at the time I thought was 7th. After I had finished I looked at the board to see if I had accomplished my goal of scoring points and I had. I had actually finished in 7th one place better than what I was going for.
