| 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

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.

| | Today we jogged the Footlocker West course and messed around. As usual, Talon threw down some sweet side flips and Gavin set the course record in 11:56, out kicking bj in the most epic 200 meter finish you have probably never seen. True story. Later we went exploring on a run under some bridges looking for the lemon tree i found last year but we never found it. On the bright side, we spotted THE biggest squirrel this side of the Mississippi. We thought it was a large cat at first. We also found a medicine ball and half of a skate board that we shredded with for awhile. Then we did a little running on the beach.

Footlocker West Regional (3.107 Miles) 00:16:41, Place overall: 55, Place in age division: 11 | | Today was the big day. I was pretty nervous about running the seeded race. I warmed up with Talon, then went to the line to do strides. Found the winter twins and started next to them. I got wasted on the start. I knew it would go out fast, but i wasn't expecting it to be as fast as it was. I got a little boxed in the first mile and came through slower than i was expecting. (5:12 i think) I was way back but i tried to push on the hills and I made up some ground. I finished 55th which wasn't bad but i hoped to do better. I feel like after my bad race at state, i was just mentally burned out and it carried through the footlocker training. I'll take a little break, then work hard for indoor.

432nd Skyview NogJog (4 Miles) 01:00:00, Place overall: 2, Place in age division: 1 | | Im sitting in class when i get a text from bj saying "lets go to Skyview and do a nog jog". So i sit there for a moment then say "what the fetch is a nog jog and when is it." Brayden then tells me that its in 3 hours and all we gotta do is chug some nog and run laps. So i regrettfully agree to go. We drive up there right after school and meet the skyview/ mtn. crest guys on the track. The goal is to drink a glass of nog then run a lap, and repeat until it all comes out one or both of the ends... I ended up drinking 16 glasses of egg nog to beat the previous record set by Connor Mantz. Thats right, i just beat the legendary CONNOR MANTZ!! but skyview's coach also beat me..
