Freshman

This year was just a begining for me. First time being in the real workouts, first time racing in the real races, no more of the short middle school boys and girls races. I really started here, I was able to run with the first people to really make this team become nationally noticed. That was awesome for me to see and it really inspired me to be that much more of a better runner. Also during this year I broke the Freshman Records at my school in the 800m, 1600m, and the 3200m.

Sophmore

This year I was really apart of the Varsity team. For cross country I was mainly 6th guy, but sometimes 5th. I really was able to learn a lot from all of the seniors and really connect with them. We took Region and State and I metaled in some of the races which was kind of a new thing for me. Then, in track I was one of the top 4 distance guys on the team and was scoring points every race. I really improved on my times, but not enough to get any class or school records. But, I did individually win a race and that was awesome. I qualified for the 3200m and 1600m at state and took 3rd and 5th. And it was really a good improvement from last year.

3 miles in the morning.

In the afternoon ran at The Panther Relays. First I ran the Distance Medley I ran the 800m at approximately 2:10. That still needs a little imporvement. Then had some fun and ran the Hurdle Relay and the hurdles were super high. And I thought that I was going to kick then down. But luckily I made it out okay. After that I watched the open 1600m race, after that I raised the 4 x 400 m and in my heat we were in last but I ran a 61 and only got the second to last. Finish with some mileage.

3 miles in the morning. Ran the Spectrum, nice cool temperatures except for the wind that keeps ruining things.

6 miles in the afternoon. Tried to keep it flat. During the run we reminised of past memories of DHHS alumni and legends. We also talked of things in the near future which gets me pretty excited. Getting pretty stoked for races coming up quickly.

3 miles run in the morning, not as much wind which is a plus.

4 miles easy in the afternoon. With 4x200m finishes. Ran the spectrum, getting pumped for this weekend. I have some personal goals in mind. Defiantly looking to improve.

3 miles in the morning. Today is the Desert Hills invite and today I Run the 1600m.

As I left school at 2:00 I was super nervous for the 1600m. Today my only goal was to break the Freshman 1600m Record was held by Josh Thatcher who ran a 4:37. As I got to the track I checked the list of who was racing and the times that they were projected to run. I found my teamates and got on a warm up. As we got back we saw the first race of the girls and did strides and calisthenics while that was going on. As I got to the line I wasn't next to Tanner Sharp as I normally am, but I was a couple of spots down from Jaden Melendrez. The gun goes off and about 75m later the gun shoots again, and we start again. I don't think I got enough strides in so it helped I think. The first lap went out strong at the pace I wanted 1:08, second lap not as strong 1:10, the third lap was the same 1:10, and finished at a 1:08. My finish I probably own the thanks to Spencer Neiville who was just ahead of me and I thought to myself "I can catch him, I can catch him!" And with less than a foot left I passed him, beating him by .08 of a second. Finishing with a total time of 4:36 and the freshman record. I felt great throughout the whole race and now need to cut down a couple seconds within the last couple races.

This morning woke up not really feeling 100%, nose a little stuffy and throat a little sore, but none the less still went and raced looking to beat my last time from the Pine View Invite. As I got there I went to the finish line area and found Sage, as we waited for the rest of those racing to start our warmup we walked around and tried to stay warm because the morning was cold. When everyone had arrived we left for a warmup and it was probably too early for a warmup but we went on one anyways. When we got back didn't do nearly enough calisthenics or strides. As the race was about to start and I lined up in front of Sage, whom I teased about this, in Ally 2 he went out and I felt pretty good. The first mile was a 4:56, which was what I wanted, the splits were 1:14, 1:14, 1:12, and 1:16, which weren't bad. But the second mile was 1:16, 1:17, 1:20, and 1:16. Not my best race, but it was something that needed to happen for me to progress.
