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:

Make sure I have fun, not get burned out, and get faster.

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.

     Meet got canceled and moved to tomorrow.  So I'll be running the 1600, then the 800, then the 3200m.  I've got to focus on that 800.  I'm okay with it though, because I had an AP test today and I was pretty mentally drained from that.

I used to get tasked to do that, too. Or sometimes the medley relay instead of the 800/880. Is there a good reason for you to triple up like that? It's probably just a dual meet on a Thursday anyhow. Gotta speak your mind to the coaches, unless you actually like to triple up like that. If your 800 goal is really serious, your coach wouldn't make you run the 1600 first. Of course, your best events are the 3200 and cross country, obviously, Conner. Anyway, good luck.

Thanks Shawn, and it's our region meet. My head coach wants us to win another title, but I want to qualify for state in the 800(I'm qualified in the 1600 and 3200), so he had me try and do all of them. I think I'll take the 1600 easier so I can push the 800m more, and then see what's left in the 3200.

I see, Conner. That sure is an early region meet. Super short season, right? Well, good luck on getting the title then. Makes sense. Also, an "easy" 1600 for you would be my best high school time, and I imagine your region isn't really strong. Good luck in all three then.

I did that my senior year of high school - no one had ever won all 3 in our league (region) meet in the same year, so I wanted to do it as a workout. I think I did something like 2:03 / 4:30 / 9:50 to win all 3... after an AP Physics exam! The track meet was the easy part that day! :-)
