| Location: Huntsville,UT,United States Member Since: May 25, 2015 Gender: Male Goal Type: Other 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.

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.

| | Fairly easy day today with the gang. We just took it nice and easy and didn't really worry about pace.

| | Today was the day we've all been dreading. 16x 400 meters. Last year I felt like death during this workout, so I wasn't really looking forward it this year.
We started out with an easy warm up, then got started. Jake and I were supposed to be hitting 71-72's, but Chili told us we should try to do the whole thing under 70's, which has only been done by a few kids at Weber ever. Jake and I ran together at the bigining then I pushed a little faster for the rest. We both ended up doing the whole thing under 70's so that was great. My spits were 67, 66, 66, 66, 67, 68, 66, 68, 66, 67, 66, 67, 67, 69, 66, 64. Then we finished with a short cool down.

| | Long run today. We did 10 miles down past Orion Jr. High, then up to mountain road, along to the canal, then back on the canal to Weber. It was just Jake and I, and we both felt awful. I managed to run it at a 6:10 pace, and Jake was just a few minutes behind.

| | 4 miles today at an easy pace getting ready for Herriman tomorrow. I can already tell that it's going to be rough, due to our 2 hard workouts this week.

Herriman xc invitational (3 Miles) 00:17:37, Place overall: 13, Place in age division: 13 | | This race was awful. They had made a course adjustment from last year, and the new path went through the dustiest stuff i've ever seen, and made the course slower. Not to mention how hot it was.
As soon as my race started, I new it was going to hurt, a lot. My legs were already sore and tired. I ended up taking 13th, but I got the shirt, and i've wanted that shirt since last year so that kind of helped. I was 1:35 off the winning time.
