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.

Heat week started today, so practices are at 2. We only did 5.5 miles, but that was plenty because it was pretty hot. Jake and I trailed Talon, as usual, and we finnished at a 6:25 pace. Hopefully we get used to the heat quick, and can get back to our faster miles. 

I went for a 2.5 mile run later today with my dog.

We ran down Weber High drive to highway 89 today. We started out running the first 1.5 miles at an easy pace (6:13) Then we did the next 2 miles at close to race pace. Jake and I ran the tempo at about a 5:15 pace. After the tempo we did the last 1.5 miles at a really easy pace. Abs after.

Today we had a circuit workout at shady lane. We warmed up over to the park, then did some strides. For the circuit we would run a 400 around the park, then do a set of core exercises. Jake and I pushed it together and made it around 17 times in the 30 minutes. It ended up being about 4.25 miles. Out pace was about 5:00 for the 400's. Cool down back to Weber. Plus another .5 because Brayden and I ran over from his house.

I ran up big mountain on the pioneer trail with Brayden today. My dad wanted to hike it to see if he could take his BYU students up there, so I decided that it would be a good long run for us. It was a pretty cool run and we scared some dude with his dogs and he ended up falling.
