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.

Hang in there, Conner. Every runner has some injuries and setbacks. Fortunately, yours is something people outgrow. Keep your chin up.

Hey Connor, thank you so much for supporting me in my race at state. I struggled through the whole thing, but it sure helped having a national champion cheering me on! I watched the 4a race, and I know your probably pretty bummed about it, but that was the most incredible race I have ever watched. You are SO TOUGH! I admire that. Go kick butt at nationals!

Recover and kill at footlocker!

Great job at State under the circumstances, Conner. Tough running. Good luck in whatever comes next. I'm still hoping it's Footlocker.

Hey, Conner. Where did you go? One bad race and your first real injury aren't the end of the world. Let your fans know how you're doing. Best of luck.
