Running Accomplishments:

Pre- High School- I did a few local races, such as 4th of July/charity 5ks. I mainly just ran for fun, and to get a feel for running. I didn't do a lot of training or workouts until Jr. High track started. As high school got closer, i started to get more serious.

Freshman Year- I decided to run xc for Weber High School. I ran very little over the summer, and had a rough start to the season. Despite the rough start, I got faster and was able to run on the varsity team more often than not. I dropped my 3 mile time to 17:04, but didn't make it to State. I finnished the season at Footlocker west regionals. I didn't prepare well and placed 22nd in the freshman race. (4th from Utah) Indoor track started and I wanted to break 5 really bad, but ended up running 5:02 at Simplot. When outdoor track started I was really anxious to win. I practiced with the high school as much as possible, despite running for Snowcrest Jr. High. I won a few outdoor meets, and dropped my mile time to a 4:40. At the district meet I took 2nd in the mile to Bronson Winter. During the 800m, I got a PR of 2:07.

Sophomore Year- I put in a good summer of running and was super excited for xc. I was now the 2nd man on the team. I had some really great races and continued to improve. I finished the regular season with a 16:00 5k. At footlocker west, i had a good race but not quite where i had hoped. Indoor came around and i had some nice PR's before i got bursitis in my left knee. Got better and transitioned to outdoor where the season started off well. After running my PR of 4:23 1600m, i got really sick and never got back to 100% during the season. I ended up at 9:41 for 2 miles, and 2:05 800m. I didn't have the performance I wanted at state, but im ready for the next year.

All time official PRs:

400m- 55, Sophomore track 2016

800m- 2:05, sophomore track 2016

1600m- 4:23* (sea level) Sophomore track 2016

3200m- 9:41, Sophomore track 2016

3 mile- 15:27* Sophomore xc 2015

5k- 16:00, sophomore xc 2015

*times converted

Short-Term Running Goals:

Break 15 for 3 miles

Sub 15:30 5k

Place in the top 10 at state xc

Qualify for Footlocker Nationals

Long-Term Running Goals:

Keep improving and getting faster. Train hard and not get burned out. Basically just enjoy the run.

Personal:

I will be a Junior at Weber High School this year. I'm LDS, and will be serving a 2 year mission after High School. I love animals, hiking/ fishing with my dad, and running with my friends.

Stair workout today. 2 laps of stairs then a 400 on the track. That was considered 1 lap. We ended up doing 8 laps. I trailed Talon the entire workout. It sucked but it hurt so good. The distance was 3.25 miles. Warm-up and cool down got it to

Big mileage day today.

(am)-3 miles

Today was another workout on the track. We did 4x600 and 4x200 with a jog recovery. My splits were 1:39, 1:41, 1:41, and 1:38. the 200's were 28's, a 30, and a 27. 

The warm up and cool down got us to 10. 

Later tonight I did an 800 with my little brother. He's just starting but he could be really fast in High school.

Today was our practice meet 800. We did a 1.5 mile warm up then got going. I finished 3rd to Jake and Talon and also tied my PR. I was pretty happy cause this week has been hard so far. Cooled down with Brayden after.

Second half of the practice meet was today. Warmed up then ran the mile. We came through 800m pretty slow (2:20) so I decided to just keep up the semi relaxed pace and save energy for big races soon. I got a small negative split and finished in 4:37. 

45 minutes later we raced the 400m. I got a new 1second PR (56)

Crazy day today. We drove down to learns for the 4x1600m. Of course, it started to get really windy right before we started. My phone said it was 27 mph, so the back stretch was pretty rough. Not a great race at all but you can't change the weather I guess.

Started with the usual warm up. It was storming pretty bad. There was some killer wind and hail but we still did some repeats. The workout was 8x400m. Splits were 67 each time and I finished with a 60. Jake went super hard and had a last split of 57. We only did a short cool down inside cause it was super cold and we were drenched.

Long run day today. We did the regular warm up on the track then went for 10 miles. Jake and I went off on our own direction while the others did the Orion loop. Jake and I ended up running through the Weber county fair grounds. It was pretty cold and wet but I had a great run. It was my fastest 10 miles to date (5:56 average) Jake was just a couple minutes behind me.

Skyview cam up for the dual meet today. We started out with the mile, and I ran 4:36. I still haven't PR'd since simplot but hopefully I'll get one soon. Next came the 800. It wasn't great but not too bad. I finished in 2:06. Then about 30 minutes later we ran a 4x4. I started off and ran about a 57. I was pretty much just done with the meet at this point so I was glad I was done. It wasn't a hard meet, just not my best.

Got up and drove down to the high school and met Jake and Henry. We did a quick 3.75 then did a short workout on the track. They did 6x200 all out but I decided to do 3x400 faster than mile pace and then 2x200 all out. Splits were: 64, 64, 63, 28, 28

We did warm ups then ran .75 miles to lomond view park for a stepping stone. Today we just went 5 to 1. (5min hard, 5 easy down to 1) did my first mike at 5:03 pace which was a solid pace with the big hill. By the end I was at 4 miles, 6:29 average (including easy run time). Once we were done we ran back to the school and stretched.

Today was the girls part of the Davis super meet. A group of us went down to cheer. All the girls had some really solid races. 

It was rainy and cold so we did our three miles through the Davis halls and a little outside.

Davis super meet was today. Once we got down there I just layed around and cheered on the boys until the mile. Talon and I were in heat 1. The goal for this meet was sub-4:30 and my first 800 was great (2:13)  but I dropped off during the second half but still finished in 4:31. I finally got a good mile PR. I ended up in 4th behind talon, Connor baller, and Adam wood who had a quick last 400. 

A little later I did a short cool down then went home to get warm again.

Warmed up with the whole team then went for 9. I ran with Henry the whole way. We were both not really feeling it but we were holding a good pace. Once we hit the last 3 miles and the uphill, Henry dropped off a bit but I kept going cause I wanted to keep up the 6 minute pace. I was pretty sore and tired but it was a good run.

There wasn't school today but we were supposed to do 4x800 at mike pace with 1:1 recovery. I got to the track and did a warm up. Then of course right as we start the wind kicks up. It got pretty strong and tough to fight through so I cut the workout to 2x800 and 4x400 cause I thought it would be more productive to do more shorter repeats and actually hit the pace instead of doing the actual workout at a slow pace. My splits were: 2:12, 2:18, 66, 65, 65, and 64. It was brutal. The wind sucked and my legs were just tired.

It was nasty weather outside so we played shirt tag with the sprinters then went for an actual short workout. It was an easy day and the pace was pretty slow.

6 miles with Jake today. We went back up on the little trail we found behind the gravel quarry. It was raining so the whole thing was mud and we both just about ate it several times. We did pick ups every 6 minutes so that didn't help either. Despite almost turfing it 90 times, it was a fun run.

City-county is tomorrow so we went super easy. We got the boys together and went adventure running. After 1.5 miles and some crazy river crossings and probable trespassing, we turned around and jumped the fence back to the Weber track (except for Brayden because he's super white and can't even pretend to be able to climb a fence)

First day of city-county was today. I only raced the mile today. It was a good race but not my best. I still got a 1 second PR but I need to work on my 3rd lap and my finish.
