Running Accomplishments:

Pre-highschool: I loved to run and ran a few small local 5k's, but I did not run much on my own, besides junior high track.

Freshman year: I ran cross country and traied wih the team most of the summer.  When the season started I ran 3 races including Murray Invitational.  I got a huge PR there but after the race my foot hurt and I had a hard time walking. I ran on it for the next week but it was not getting better, so I went to a Sports MD and found out that i had a stress fracture.  Becaue of that injury I missed the rest of the season. Then I ran track for my junior high but did not do extremely well.

Sophmore year: I trained hard over the summer and I got a 3 minute PR on my first race.  I continued to PR, and had a good, injury free season. I ran indoor track an had some good PRs. I ran at simplot and had a great time. I did track and  ran some goodtimes and cut my time down by 15 seconds, I was hoping that I could get low 5's in the mile, but I had fun and was able to race at the steepechase and have a fun time through out the season. At sophmore region I was able to PR in the 800 and I missed my PR in the mile by 2 seconds.

Junior year: I ran a little over 500 miles over the summer, but wasn't improving how I would have liked over the season. I was not consistant at all and was sick for aboout 3 races. I finally had a good race at region and dropped a 46 second pr. Track went well, I went sub-5 in the mile finally and got a PR in the 2 mile pretty easily. I didn't really hit the times I had hoped for throughout the season due to sickness and I just wasn't in it.

PRs:

800: 2:11

1600: 4:56.35

3200: 11:17.47

3 mile: 17:41

5k: 18:07

Short-Term Running Goals:

Cross Country 2016:

Run 650 to 700 summer miles SUCCESS

Low 15's on the 5K and Sub 15 3 mile

Place at region and state

Go to footlocker nationals

Track 2017:

Sub 4:20 mile

Sub 9:15 on the 3200

Sub 2:00 on the 800

Sub 6:25 on steeple chase

Qualify for State, Arcadia, and Great South West, and become the best runner I can be.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Run cross country and track in college. Keep improving and just having fun. I'll probably run an ultra or two for the heck of it and to see if I like them.

Personal:

I'm a Senior at Weber High School. I am LDS and plan on serving a mission before college. I'm a member of The Hobbyjogger Project.

City-county was canceled because it was raining and the fairgrounds did not want us destroying their grass. So instead we did a small race on our own that we call the chase. We did it on our time-trial course and I eded up getting a 4 second pr. The weather was perfect and I ran really relaxe. It was a lot of fun.

The Torch Run was today where we run a bunch of torches from whatever school we are playig for homecoming. Statrted the day off good with a nice 4.5 mile morning run with Henry. After school we all got on a bus and rode down to Northridge where we started the run. Everyone runs in a group of about 10 people a then hand off to another group after covering 2-3 miles and everyoneusually covers around 4-5 miles. My group was the 3rd one to run and we held a really fast pace on the first leg an averaged sub-6 for 2.75 miles.  The bus left Jake and Talon at a store where they were using the bathroom and before me and Addison had noticed they were missing we were about 3 miles away. So we drove back to find them, but they we already running back and that is how Me, Jake, Talon, Addison, and Henry decided to run extra legs. So we ended up running 3 or 4 extra legs besides our 3.  It was a blast!! We just talked a messed around the whole time an ended up averaging a 6:50 pace. I can't wait to do it again, I forgot how much I love high milage days.

Good race today, it is a pretty hilly course that I would compare to the state course.
