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.

Today was race day and I felt really good, except for that I wasn't ready for the late race and I didn't know how to balance my eating. I know now that I ate too much before I raced. I started out and felt really good. I was about 5 feet behind Josh. I tried to keep my stride smooth. Felt good through the first mile. In the second mile I was starting to feel the food that I had eaten. At the start of the Third mile I knew that I had to catch as many people as I could. I caught a couple, but it wasn't enough. With 200m left I started to push all out and I started to pull away from the guy I was running next to. I finished in an ok spot, not where I really wanted to be. But, overall this weekend was pretty good.

On the 400m if we break 60 seconds coach buys us dinner and I ran basically 60 seconds on the dot. So, I just missed it. But, other than that it was a great workout, hit all of my times.

Pretty much played watched Boston and Josh, play some video games while we chilled, Played some games with the girls team, shopped for spikes.

When the race started I felt like I was going to get swallowed and not get out very well, but I stuck with Tanner and Spencer. At the one mile I crossed at 4:57, and noticed that all 7 of us were within 50 meters of each other which was pretty awesome. I kind of got dropped by Tanner and Spencer, but caught Spencer at the two mile and we crossed at 10:06, and I told Spencer that we needed to go. I couldn't hear him very well, but he probably mumbled some elvish. Ended up passing Spencer and went hard for the next mile catching everyone I could. I kept getting faster as I got closer to finishing. Then, at about 150m left Spencer caught back up to me and yelled a battle cry and we both crushed it to finish in the top 50. Probably my best race all season, and as an added bonus the weekend was pretty great too.
