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.

We had practice as a team this morning. We met and did a stair workout in the stadium. It was kind of tough cause I haven't really done any hills this summer but my time for me number 2 on the all time list next to none other than the Talon Hull. After the stairs we went on a 30 minute trail run. It was good hill training.

Today I biked over to the old trappers loop road and did a 3 mile run up to the top and back. It was pretty steep and slow but I need the hills. Later tonight I went on a 5 miler around town. It felt good but I was sore. (6:07 average)

I slept in today so I had to do my first run in the heat. I just did 3 miles on the trails around the lake and through town with one of my younger brothers. Then later tonight I did 4 more through some crazy wind.

We had a team practice today on some trails behind Rainbow Gardens. Talon and I went about 5 but then we got lost and had to hike\climb our way up a mountain to get back. 

Later this afternoon I did another 4 easy miles before Ragnar tomorrow.

Today was the start of the Ragnar relay. I was runner 3. My first leg was 7 miles through cache valley. (5:57 average) 

Brayden and I stayed over at Ethan Field's house last night and barely got any sleep so it's going to be a wild weekend.

At about 1 a.m. tonight I had my second leg of the Ragnar. It was two miles downhill. It got kind of tough trying to see where my feet were landing and ahead of me at the same time but I ran it in 9:30 so I was happy. 

Then this morning at about 7 I had my last leg of 9 miles  I was tired and it didn't go as planned (6:59 pace) but we ended up placing 5th overall and taking first in the high school division
