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.

Today we had a workout on the track. We did an 800m warm up then 12x 400m repeats. I did all of mine between 67 and 71 so not too bad. We finished with another 800m cool down.

Today was the dual meet. I wasn't too nervousness but I wanted to do well because this race determined varsity position. We warmed up to Lomond view elementary (1.5 miles) We started the race and I got right into the top pack. Jake was with me until the half way mark then I dropped him and tried to stay with Conner Compton. I got on his tail and we trailed Talon and Ethan Field. Conner beat me by 2 seconds but I placed 4th overall and got my spot as Weber's number 2 varsity. After the race Brayden and I went for a 2 mile cool down with Conner and Ethan.

Long run today. I ran it with Jake, and we hit a pretty solid pace. (I think it was about 6:00 but I'm not sure)

Grass relays today. I ran the first leg of the varsity and Talon anchored. I warmed up for about a mile and practiced on the hay bales. Then I raced. My split was 10:44 and my first mile was only 4 seconds off my mile pr (4:44) which is probably because kids like Garek Bielaczyc was in my race. After the race we did a 2 mile cool down.
