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

4.50

Good warm up with Kyler, got my spikes, and was excited for this race, it being our first invite, and hoping for a good race. I was feeling better then yesterday, especially when I was running. Not so much after, but when I was it felt good. I was a bit mad because Jerrell decided to not run this meet, and Adam didn't race it with me.

Race: Gun went off, and I hesitated a tiny bit too much, and was cut off by everyone who wanted an inside lane. So I passed everyone I could the next 100m and was at 31 at the 200m mark. I thought I was going out too hard, so I slowed down a bit here and came across the 400m at 1:05ish. After I pushed the next lap at a good pace, coming across at 2:11. Then I ran the next on and came across at 3:20ish (I really feel I could've pushed this lap a lot more) and then I really pushed it the last lap and finished at 4:23.9(I think, I know it was a 4:23 high though). I felt good about this race, qualifying for state, and running by myself most of the race. I ran a 4:36 here last year and dropped 14 seconds. I don't think I can do that this year, but hey, I wouldn't complain if I could. Afterward I cooled down with Kyler (who also PR'ed). 3200m tomorrow, and the 800m also.

Great race! Glad it turned out well for you, looks like you recovered quickly from yesterday's illness. Way to go!

Nice run! Very cool to read about some track work every now and then.

Conner,

Hi. Awesome time for the mile. If I am reading this correctly, that is like less than two seconds away from your best mile (if BYU Invitational: 4:22.3 is your best - it's under "PRs."). And consistent quarters (accept maybe the 3d quarter which you say you could have pushed more). Of note, the last quarter was the fastest! Way to finish strong and I remember seeing some footage of you passing two people and finishing one of the Footlocker races strong I think. Congratulations!
