Long-Term Running Goals:

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.

Total Distance

6.50

About a two mile warm up to the track from my house. Then a mile at 5:31 (goal pace was 5:30). Then an easy mile, then another mile at 4:58(goal pace was 5:00). Then I found a shorter way home from the school, that was possibly a mile and a half. I still feel sore from the race on Saturday, but I felt better today than yesterday. I think it a bit strange that for a long time I had the goal of making it to nationals, but now that I have, I don't have much of a plan.

Here's a plan for you: go tear it up!

Yeah - there aren't really any major expectations on you... go out and give it everything you have! Shock some people!

I am getting a better understanding of Foot Locker, Cross Country Championship and "THE NATIONALS."

I checked the results from last year. Last year Utah had no runner go to the Nationals - this year there are three!

And I see there are 40 runners who will be going for the title...Less congested!

Conner (or anyone), is the course any different??? Anyone know if it is a more challenging course? a less challenging course? About the same?

Will that also be footage for that race?

Not much of a plan...well yeah the goal was making it to the Nationals...now all that is left is to give it your best. You are running with the top of the field!!! Then...well you'll come up with a plan - it's inevitable.

Hope you, Dad, your sister and other family members are doing well.

It is a fairly open course - the same course that has been used for most of the FootLocker nationals at Balboa Park in San Diego. So chances are that it will have good conditions. No killer hills (less hilly than Mt. SAC), but a couple decent ones - so hopefully Connor can really tear those up.

It will be streamed live on the Internet.

Holt,

Thanks. The Foot Locker West Championships for 2012 have practically the same finishing times as 2011 across the placements. 4th Place finisher 15:41. 50th place finisher 16:39. 30th place 16:21/16:25. But I noticed the Nationals had faster times. Now I understand why. The course is less difficult.
