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 was just an easy run out on the canal road to get ready for the meet. Jake and I didn't go super easy because we are just pacing some of the slower varsity runners, so we're not going for any pr's or anything.

Today was the dual meet against Northridge. Jake had looked at some times and found that they had 2 guys who would be a little bit slower than us, but since we had to pace this race we thought we were just going to have to watch those guys run away from us without being able to do anything about it. As it turns out, they weren't on our level of speed, hahaha so we beat them even though we had to hold back and pace our other runners. 

I ended up taking 2nd to Talon, as usual. Once we hit the two mile mark Chili said we could just go all out, so thats where I passed Jake and started going hard. It was actually a pretty fun and easy race.

Fast run today. We did 7.5 and we were supposed to go pretty hard. I ran with Jake for a while, then moved ahead. Then as usual, right when I hit 6 miles I have to crap. I thought about stopping, but I was hitting a solid pace so i just kept going... bad idea. I finnished with an intense sprint into the nearest bathroom at Weber, but my pace was 5:54 so i was happy.

So today was one of coach Hansen's crazy circuits. Im not even going to try to explain it because most of the time I had no idea what I was doing, but Brayden, Paul, and I ended up doing 8 sets of stairs (all the way around the bleachers was 1 set) and a ton of burpies and squats. It was ok, though because my rear end could use some good toning.
