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.

Started doing morning runs again. I did a pretty fast 3 miles this morning at sub 6 pace.

At practice we did 5.6 with the guys at a 6:28 pace. After the run we went to the weight room and did a mostly lower body workout.

Longer run today. Most of the guys weren't there so it was just Henry and I crankin' it out. We were holding about a 5:50 pace until we hit the canal road and had to run on the snow. After about a mile we ditched it and went back up to the road. We finished with a 6:28 pace.

Today was an indoor circuit workout. We would do various core exercises and strength training, then sprint a lap through to school (about .2 miles) We just kept going for as many as we could in half an hour. After the circuit we cooled down and decided to do the last part of the sprinters "workout" to finish off the cool down cause they were complaining. After all that, we went to Haeli's and had smoothies then a group of us went to Box Elder High and did a pretty good pool workout with Brayen cause he still cant run.

the day started out ok, then just went downhill...

Did a short warm up before the mile then realized i'd left my spikes at my aunts house (where we stayed the previous night) so i had to use Talon's which were a bit small. 20 steps into the race my left shoe came untied and i had to run the whole race with my shoe falling off. I finished in 4:46. Not even close to what i had been hoping for.

About 4 hours later Henry and I ran the 2 mile. This was my first 2 mile ever and i had no idea what the heck i was doing. Didn't feel good at all but finished in 10:15 (slower than my xc two mile split) Not my best day of racing but it's only indoor.
