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.

Drove down to Weber for a run with the guys. It's probably out last day for a good workout before simplot prelims on Thursday. We ran up to the top of 500 west and climbed through the neighborhoods til we hit the north Ogden divide. Then we just weaved through some neighbor hoods until we got back to the school. We tried the canal road for a little but it was still pretty snowy. The run ended up at about 7 miles, 6:30 average. Back at the school we did some 200's on the track and went to Brayden's.

Easy warm-up, then 4x400 at goal race pace with lots of rest. After that, Brayden, Talon, and I did an easy 3 mile cool down.

We drove up to Idaho today after school for the Simplot games prelims. Talon and I both raced in heat 4. I took it fairly chill, and ran a 4:37, qualifying for finals on Saturday. After our races, i did a short cool down with the guys.

Today was day 2 of the Simplot games. I only raced the 800 in the medley relay today. We  missed finals by .5 seconds, but i was happy, cause i tied my PR. Earlier that day, Talon, Brayden, and I went on an easy 3 run up some little mountain thing to some pillars. 

Also, shout out to Brielle Fernelius for finally getting some action with C. Field.

Finals were today. I was feeling ok, and ran a new PR of 4:35. I felt ok about it, but i'm ready for outdoor. Later, i ran the 4x800. Most of the guys on the team were pretty wrecked from all the racing, so it was a little rough, but we did ok. (2:10 split)
