| Location: St.George,UT,USA Member Since: Jan 02, 2014 Gender: Male Goal Type: Highschool Champ 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.

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.

Warmup, met some of Jaidens old teammates, got to the line, raced hard, I felt really good. We went down to this race with only 6 of us. But, none the less I felt really good, didn't go out super hard and from then on out moved up. I kept looking ahead of me and tried to pass the next guy. Towards the end I battled with a Desert Vista dude. Gave me a great push to finish out the race. After the race we went on a cool down talked with some people, it was really cool to see that people knew who we were. We won the race, with Desert Vista behind us. Talked with Desert Vista and decided to run 7 miles with them in the morning.

| No Morning Run. My legs felt really flat. Got to our Box did some Calistenics and some Strides. Feeling really good. My dad told me before the race "The race isn't won in the first hundred meters." And that helped me spread out where I surged. I felt really good through 1.5 miles, and I started to get a cramp. I still went as hard as I could. I finished in 8th overall and 5th on my team. Congrats to "Definition Dallen" Gillespie for finishing 4th, along with the rest of the Pine View team.

| This morning we ran over to Pioneer Park for a Shake out run. Met with some less fortunate people exchanged stories and had a great time.
Got to the course and chilled for a little bit. Then we warmed up and got to the line and was cheered on from behind and to the left as well as the right. It was a really intense feeling, one that I had worked for a year to experience. The gun went off and so did we. I started out feeling great. I was right with Sage and Spencer which was right where I wanted to be. Went down the hill by the flowers, then up the big hill. I felt good. I didn't crush the hill, but still went hard. Pushed it around the duck pond and then a cramp started, I then continued to push and tried to rid myself of the cramp. As much as I tried to get rid of the cramp it wouldn't leave. So, I just ran with it. Finished as best as I could considering the circumstances. Didn't do nearly as good as I wanted to, I'll just have to redeem myself at Nike Southwest.

Today we did 12x400 repeats, the first 8 were at 1:12-1:10 and the last 4 were at 1:08-1:05. I felt pretty good. I hit all of my times and found my extra gear thanks to coaches speech before the last 400.

Today we had the Halloween Fun Run and I dressed up as Richard Simmons. There were some pretty great costumes this year with the Varsity Girls being the McFarland team, Coach Powell being Coach White, Boston with a Sweet Native American Headdress, and Scott with the Donald Trump costume. Always a run that I look forward to.

| 10 miles at Warner Valley. The first 5 were easy, the next 3 were at 6:30 pace, and the last 2 were at Nike Goal pace and I hit 10:25. Everyone did awesome. Josh was at 10:15 and Sage was at 10:30 and Jaiden was at 10:07. Felt really tired after a long, hard, fun week. After the workout I got in the Creeper Van, took a nap and ended up in Cedar at the Big Sky race and the races were incredibly fast. SUU rocked it. Went to Denny's after the race.
