| Location: Huntsville,UT,United States Member Since: May 25, 2015 Gender: Male Goal Type: Other 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.

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.

Harry Burchell memorial city-county (2 Miles) 00:09:41, Place overall: 6 | | Today started out with a great 2 mile. I felt really good the whole time and got a huge PR from my first time. I had a bit left after so I just need to race it more so I can go all out. Pretty soon after the 2 mile I had to do the 800. Let me just say, it was rough. My legs were dead and I ran a 2:07 which happens to be my freshman PR.
It was still a great day all around.

Time to switch focus for Arcadia.

| | We're all on spring break now so there's no actual practice but we got some workouts to do. for those of us going to Arcadia, we're going to taper them a little and do easy runs.
Today we all met on the track for some intervals. The workout was 8x400 with 400m/ 2 minute jog in between. We decided to start out fast and just try to keep it going. I felt great and had awesome splits. They went, 62, 64, 65, 65, 65, 65, 64, 60. I was pretty happy cause even my slowest ones were well under my mile pace.
Later tonight I went out and did an easy 3.1 with my dad. (About 7 min. Pace)

| | Arcadia Day 1:
I stayed the night at the Lee's with Ethan cause we left for California super early. We all slept most of the way down. Once we got there we found an abandoned shopping cart so we rode through the streets for a while. Then we spotted a skate park and i attempted the half-pipe (fairly certain my heart rate has never been so high). We went back and had dinner at the rental house, then went for a 5.5 mile group run. Ethan, bj, and i found the most delicious oranges near a cemetery. The weather is perfect for racing. We went back to the house and just relaxed and watched some tv and went to bed.

Arcadia Invitational 2016 (1 Miles) 00:04:28 | | Arcadia Day 2:
We messed around all day and made continued trips back to the orange tree. We got chased by several dogs but it was pretty fun. We went back to the park and played frisbee basketball and some soccer and just had a fun time. Then we went to the meet and watched the girls kick butt in the 4x800. The boys ran the 4x1600. It did not go as planned to say the least... Everyone just didn't hit at all close to where they should have been. Talon and I did alright (talon- 4:14) and I got a new PR. 4:28. After the meet, we did a long cool down with everyone. I race again tomorrow.

Arcadia Invitational 2016 (1 Miles) 00:04:25, Place overall: 10, Place in age division: 10 | | Arcadia Day 3:
Got up early today cause i raced first. I got to the meet and the excitement really hit. I was feeling good after the PR last night and I was ready to go get it. I did a longer warm up and almost missed checking in but i made it. We got out on the track and it was pretty wet and rainy. We did some strides while the other race finished up. I had a really great race and felt strong the whole race. I finished the full mile in 4:25 (4:23 1600m). It was an awsome PR and it felt good to be getting faster. even if it was at sea level. Cooled down later and watched more awesome races. Brayden, Ethan and i partied the rest of the night.

| | 4x mile repeats at shady lane today. We warmed up down to the park then got started. We had a 1.5 min. rest in between so it was tough. Splits went 5:06 (too fast), 5:12, 5:15, and 5:09. After the repeats we did 4x 200 on the grass. I hit 29, 27, 26, and 25 racing the coach. cool down back to the school.

| | Tri meet today, nothing special. Davis is coming up so the varsity guys didn't do regular races. Jake and I did a 4x400. We alternated 400's so we each ran two with about a 50 second break in between. We used a banana as the baton and somehow still took 2nd. I split a 55 and a 60

Davis invite (2 Miles) 00:09:54 | | I woke up today feeling awful. My stomach hurt, i had a headache, and i couldn't stop coughing. I debated if i should even go to the meet at all today. I decided to go, but i dropped out of the mile. I thought i had enough for a two mile. that was a mistake. I started the race and the first mile was where i wanted to be but from there it just went downhill. I was having trouble breathing due to the coughing and restricted air flow. I finished a little sub 10 but felt terrible. Coughed for the next 9 years.

| | Track workout today. 4x 600 and then a 400. I still felt sick and got wrecked the whole way. I can barely move...

Northridge Dual meet (1 Miles) 00:04:43, Place overall: 1 | | Im still feeling really awful. I went to the doctors yesterday and got an inhaler that's supposed to help me breathe. They did a test and found out that i've been functioning on 50% lung capacity... not good.
I decided to just pace the mile today. I won in 4:43. not too impressive because it was mostly jus weber guys running, but Brayden finally broke 5:00. He ran a PR of 4:57
