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.

Showed up and met up with the guys, before we went on a warmup we jammed out to the usual Run by AWOLNATION. And then went on a 1.5 mile warmup and then jogged around the turf to ensure that we didn't miss this race. Did some calisthenics and cheered on those who raced before me. And then got to the line and was behind Jaden and a guy from Ogden. It was super windy and for the first mile I felt really good. And I think I went out a little too fast for it being a little windy. But after the first mile the guy from Ogden really picked it up. And at that point he was in front and Jaiden was right behind him and I was right behind Jaiden. But I fell back just a little bit and was stuck in the wind for the second mile and i got passed by two people on the last lap but I finished in 5th and still finished with a 9:44 so that was ok.

I didn't get a lot of rest in between the 3200m and the 800m but went on another warmup/cooldown and after that I did calisthenics and cheered on my teammates who were racing and then when I raced I was in  lane 7 to start and I got out well I was right behind Nick Hill and I crossed the 400 at 59 and then died the second lap and finished at a 2:03 so I wasn't super happy about that but whatever. I'm not even sure what my overall place was for that. I finished with a cooldown with Boston and stretched and left the meet. Overall I think it gave me some confidence because there was a lot of wind so hopefully next week I can get some big PRs.
