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.

      I wasn't going to push the 2 mile today, but then I just felt too good, and with this wonderful weather, it was such a great oppurtunity to pass up.  I wanted to get the school record, which I missed by .39 seconds last week.  I ran the first lap feeling amazing.  1:05.  I thought it was a bit fast at first, but I kept going.  2:16.  I still felt great.  3:28.  Keep it coming.  4:39.  This is where I started dying.  5:52, not near what I wanted.  7:05 , I'm slowing down, I need to push this last 800. 8:18.  Crap I'm in trouble.  I ended with a 9:28.6 I heard at first, but then the official time was 9:29.0.  Less than a second better than last week, but I got the school record.  I think I may have gone out too fast, but boy did I feel good.  I later did the mile also, which I wasn't ready for.  I had maybe an hour at most of rest between.  I had a headache before it, but it was gone after the mile.  I ran the mile in 4:33, so same as last week.  I didn't get a good start, and I never caught up to Tyler or Adam.  They were just too far ahead.  Tyler got a 4:27.73, and Adam got a 4:30.  I kinda felt bad for Tyler, because he wanted to qualify, it was his birthday also, but he missed it by .03 seconds.  If only he would've stuck his tongue out or something at the end.
