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.

So it was pouring rain today, and we weren't allowed to hold the city county race. This was actually probably a blessing because I havn't really been feeling very good this whole week.

Instead of the actual meet we just did our own meet, sort of. The slowest person went first and the fastest went last, so theoretically we should all finnish at the exact same time, but that never happens. I ended up running a 16:03, so no PR, but thats ok. It was still fun.

Today was the torch run. We ran the torch from Northridge to Weber for the homecomming football game. We each were assigned to a group, and each group had certain legs to run. Brayden and I found a massive cactus, and after I dug it out with a conveniently placed crowbar we took it on the bus. Then for no apparent reason, McKenna threw it out the window, this led to some extreme rage from me and Brayden, because we had sacrificed our hands for that cactus. 

Henry, Jake, Talon, Brayden, and I all decided to run extra legs just for fun, so we all ran close to a half marathon. We found lots more random artifacts including a tail pipe that fell off a car. Most of these items myseriously disapeared before we got to Weber...

Wahsatch Rendezvous was today. I ran in the #2 varsity runner race and took 2nd to Adam Jensen, who was Lone Peak's fastest runner, but happened to be in the 2nd race. My time of 16:15 put me in 8th place over all. 56 seconds off the winner (Talon Hull). This course is pretty comparable to the State course.
