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.

     5 at easy pace with Kyler and Calvin.  I was going to have a tempo run today, but I hurt my knee yesterday at the start of the run and I thought it would go away.  It didn't, so I'm going easy until it feels good to run on. 

   Hey, it's an early spring, the temperature is all the way up to 31 today!  I didn't need gloves or a hat for the first time in a long while.

Conner,

Hi. Hope the Saturday meet goes well. Do you ever do meets that are televised or videoed. Somebody posted on your blog site and pasted a link with track meet races. One race had a guy in the lead for quite a while and this other kid out kicked him and won it. You ran with the winner of that race at the Nationals. I think it was Aron Templeton. Anyway, I thought it was an awesome race. Really is an art to running those races. Your strategy of letting them run hog wild at the beginning and then catching them - perfect! Hope all is well with you and your family.

PRE, I don't know any meets that are broadcasted for high school, but if I am in one, I'll put when it is.

Mike, I'm pretty jealous of the weather you get to run in. I'm been wearing two longsleeve shirts on all my runs in the past month.

Conner,

I just looked for the link and all I could find was the link that Holt posted http://usa.milesplit.com/articles/96995-usa-xc-rankings-2012-boys-individuals-as-of-12-5

I cannot find the race though.

At any rate, it was an indoor track event from what I remember. Maybe the mile or 5K.

AND...they really should film you guys. I am not really sure how it all works...but I would imagine you are an elite runner and if you are racing other elites...that is history in the making. Be well.
