| 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.

400m- 55, Sophomore track 2016
800m- 2:05, sophomore track 2016

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.

| | We did a 1.5 mile warm up and then 9x400. I split 63, 64, 64, 64, 63. 64, 64, 62, and 61. It really sucked. I would finish each repeat and then just lay on the ground coughing my guts out. Awful day. After, i did a short cool down with Brielle. We had a good time.

| | We ran down to Shady lane park and did 3 mile repeats this time. We only go a minute break in between each one. I did the first 2 at 5:10 and 5:20. After the 5:20 i pretty much died. I decided to just do 2 800's with a bigger break in order to make it through the workout. Today was by far the worst since i've been sick.

| | 6 easy miles on the canal today. I've hit the point where easy runs don't exist. If i go fast, i cough myself to death. If I briskly walk, i still cough to death so no matter what i do, i still get thrashed.

Herriman twilight invitational (1 Miles) 00:04:32, Place overall: 4 | | As you can guess i wasn't feeling at all well again, but im doing better. I just ran the mile today. Finished in 4th with a 4:32 so i wasn't too disappointed. As soon as I was done i jogged to the infield, grabbed my spikes and was about to go back to the team when the devil himself started practicing jujitsu on my lungs. I sat there and coughed for a long time before i was even able to move. I was coughing so hard i thought i'd throw up.

| | longer warm up and then 4x400 at mile pace or a little faster. We were hosting the Jr high championships so there were a bunch of squirrly little kids all over the track while we were trying to do the 400's. Despite plowing my way throgh tons of children i hit 62,62,61,61.

Region 1 championships (1 Miles) 00:04:30, Place overall: 4, Place in age division: 4 | | Region was today. Today was just the mile. I was kind of nervous cause this is my last chance to qualify for state. I wasn't feeling quite as sick so it helped a little. The race went out really slow (72) so i took the lead and led until the last 200. I ended up taking 4th but made it to state. Later brayden and I cooled down with ethan, spence $ and some other guys from cache valley.

Region 1 championships (2 Miles) 00:09:48, Place overall: 5, Place in age division: 5 | | Today was the 2 mile and the 800. The mile yesterday made my cough a little worse again but whatever. I had a rough time in the 2 mile. I didn't PR, which i should've and i placed 5th so no state either. I thought the 2 mile was rough but the 800 was even worse. I ran my slowest time since the beginning of 9th grade. My lungs were completely done. I think i ran a 2:10... yikes

UHSAA track championships (1 Miles) 00:04:28, Place overall: 24 | | Got up early and drove down to BYU for the state meet. I was super nervous cause i was seeded last in the mile and i was still feeling sick. I decided to just go with it and try my best. I didn't end up losing and i ran an altitude PR of 4:28. It's not at all where i wanted to be by the end of the season but it was alright for being sick for a month and a half. I cant wait to destroy this time early next season. Especially my 2 mile PR. Ive only raced it twice and i know i can go much faster if im not sick.
On to xc!!!
