Running Accomplishments:

Pre-high school: I ran a lot of local 5ks and a few half marathons.  I didn't do a ton of training, but I just had fun, and I got more serious about it as high school got closer.

High school: I enjoyed running a lot, especially cross country.  I originally did track to keep my in shape for cross country.  I ran at Footlocker Nationals, the Adidas Dream mile, Brooks PR Invitational, world xc junior championships, and a few local 5ks.

Long-Term Running Goals:

School records in the 5km and 10km.  

Personal:

Served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints from July 2015-July 2017.  I gained 30 lbs. during the service and came back out of shape; however I knew that if the Lord wanted me to once again run competitively, he would bless me to return to fitness. 

I graduated from Sky View High School in Smithfield, Utah. I currently run for Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.

   1.4 mile warm up, then 10X200m with 200m jog recovery. Goal was 30-31.  Splits: 27, 29, 30(I actually missed it, but here's a guess) 29, 29, 29, 29, 28, 29, 28.  Then 3.1 mile cool down.  It was track tryouts today, but coach Walker let me be off the hook.  I then went another mile with Ethan, Glen, Stockton and Tyson, then 2 miles when I got home.  Interesting to see tryouts.  Tyson just randomly threw out a 53 in his trainers, I'm excited to see what he'll do in the 800m this year.

You have track tryouts? I've never heard of that.

Congrats on making the track team :-)

Well, our head coach puts everyone through some hard workouts to get the kids who are just doing it for an easy 'A' to quit(it's a class at Sky View). And Jake, I haven't made the team yet. After the weight throws last year, I'm surprised they let me be on the team!

I'm sure when you run 8:50 for 2 miles, he'll forget that you suck at shotput!

I threw the javelin once and it was ugly. Never tried another field event.

Good point Jake.

I'm going to start a bogus Letsrun thread based on this conversation.

"State champion and two time Foot Locker Finalist cut from track team - sucks at shot put".

Haha, that would be so funny, but I ended up making it. Probably by a slim chance, my throwing is exactly much better than last year.
