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.

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 the first day back from the break. And the break was a lot harder than I thought. But, today was good. We had the first track meeting and Jaiden, Spencer, and I talked to some of the boys that are going to be pushing for the varsity spots next year. After the meeting we went to Warner Valley and ran some mountains. It was really nice to get back into things.

Today I told myself that I would keep it flat because I ran a mountain yesterday. Then I found myself on top of Airport Hill. So, I guess you could say that I am trying to channel the Spirit Animal Ben Powell.

Four miles on Utah hill with Lily and Sage. It was good to run in the snow. We turned around at 4 because Sage was worried about his car getting stuck.

6 miles with Sage through the Super Bowl and then on Rainbow Road. Felt great on the easy part, then on the last mile we had 8x:30sec. We went hard, it felt good to go fast again. I'm really excited for track, and that's not a usual occurrence.

5.5 miles today, while I was on my run I ran into Rachel and BGB and talked to them for a while. After that I had to start back into my run. My knee felt tight today.

Six miles today. I ran really early. It was nice, the place I ran was super quiet so I could be with my thoughts.

7 miles today with Sage. Today was the 2nd workout and it was good. We ran 5 miles at Warner Valley and then started our 10x:30sec. I felt really good on the first 5, and then I really pushed it on the next 3, and the last two Sage went hard and I stuck as close as I could. It was good to go fast again expecially when it wasn't a flat road.

6 miles this morning before the family traditions start. Got hailed on a little, I kinda hoped it would snow. Ran on some trails, but it took running on the road to get there.

I took a break yesterday because my knee wasn't feeling to good, but I rolled out and stretched. I went on a three mile run today only because I was pressed for time so, I couldn't go any further. Knee felt a lot better than it did yesterday.

Five miles today. I ran by Weber High today, and it was at the warmest part of the day and it was still only 21 degrees outside. Man am I glad that I live in St.George. I started to run on a trail that was covered in snow and if you were barely off the main part your leg would sink into the snow up to your knee. So, after a quarter of a mile of that I decided to go a different way. As a bonus my knee felt even better than it did yesterday.

Today I spent a lot of time with my family and first we played some indoor soccer and then we went sledding and that was awesome. But, then it was five o'clock and 12 degrees outside so I ran and it was really cold and I didn't have anything to keep my mouth from being super cold so I wore my jacket backwards. And was still really cold, but not as cold.
