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. Favorite Blogs: |

BYU Invitational (2 Miles) 00:09:00, Place overall: 1, Place in age division: 1 | | We got there pretty early, so Alex, Connor Compton, and I went for a shake out, and then watched some throwing. I warmed up with Kramer, Matt, Brewer and two other Bingham kids, and I felt good, but not great. I was planning on sticking on someone the first mile and then trying to beat them the last few laps. Well, it didn't go as planned, but it still went well. We lined up, and I felt pretty good. The pace went out pretty slow, and I had to go out into lane 4 or 5 to get around everyone. About 300m into it I took the lead because the pace was much too relaxed. We came across 400m at 1:08. That was slower than usuall, because usually my first lap puts me farther ahead of my goal pace. Next lap I focused on keeping the same pace, but hit 2:15, so a bit fast. Connor Mcmillan was on my tail the whole way. Next two laps were 2:16ish, putting us 4:31 at the 1600m. Wow, that was a lot faster than I had thought it would be. After, we kept hitting 1:08s, and I honestly can't remember what happened during most of this race. I kept adding 1:10s to the time for every lap I had left, and said I would probably finish there. Every lap or two, if I slowed down Connor would nick my shoe with his shin, so I knew he was there(yes, his shins were bloody after the race, and I feel bad about it). With 700m left I surged, because Connor was still there, and I did again at 600m. With 400m to go I thought I had to run a 1:09 to run 9:04, so I started to really push it for the first 200m of that lap. My final 200m was slow because I knew I had the 4A record and a few seconds on Connor. I didn't think I'd be 9:00 though, I thought probably 9:04-05. I was so surprised and happy. From state last year, I dropped 10 seconds for in-state time, while the year before I only dropped 8. After I cooled down with a big group of people from the 3200m, and then did a little bit more later when we got to our hotel room to keep the legs moving.
