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 we went to the region course and did two mile warm-up, 4x1mile repeats. And I felt way good for the first one and the second one. The last two were tougher but I hit my times. After we did 4x200m finishes.

2 miles in the morning.

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.
