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.

The team had practice today at Paul's house. We ran up to the canal road then onto another trail that continued up the mountain. It was a ratty hard run Andy quads were pretty sore after. I ran with Jake and we trailed Talon. About a 7:00 average pace on the way up. It ended up being about 5 miles. 

Later tonight I ran 3 fairly easy miles.

4 moderately hard miles up "suicide mountain". Then I was going to do a few more miles later but there was tons of lightning so I couldn't go.

6 mile run with the team today. Talon, Paul, brayden and I went out at a pretty comfortable pace. We started out on some trails above Weber State, then ran to the mouth of Taylor's canyon. From there we decided to run up waterfall canyon then back to WSU. We took a short break at the waterfall, then took it back fast.

Talon, Jake, Brayden, Gavin and I have been planning to run to Ben Lomond peak and we finally did it today. Got out on an early start at about 6:15 a.m. It was about 8 miles up to the peak, and we passed the ultra marathoners running the Skyline 50k, and spotted a herd of mountain goats below us. It was a pretty tough run, but super fun. I also did another .25 miles to get to 16

Now it's time for "heat week" and 3:00 p.m. practices!
