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: |

| | Warmed up, then we did an 800m at 3200m pace and 3X300m all out after. Well, I was kinda stupid and felt pretty good, so I just relaxed and paid attention to feel instead of my watch for the 800m. At 700m I saw I was going pretty quick(1:49), so I kicked my last 100m to a 2:02. After I let Ethan and Connor go in the 300s because I wanted to stretch more. First one was 40, the next one I started feeling beat, but just paced the first 200m and ran a 42. Next one I started pretty slow, but closed fast to a 42. Cool down after.
5 miles when I got home.

| | About 5.5 miles. Warmed up, then did 3X1000m at tempo effort with a minute break. I can't believe we used to do 8 of these. It was fairly windy. Cool down after, then later at JV region I ran a warm up with some kids.

| | Easy with 2(4X15 seconds at 4:00 pace, 15 seconds easy) With a 3 min. jog in between the intervals. It felt pretty easy, but I could feel I was going fast. I'm way excited for this weekend!

Utah State 1600m (0.994 Miles) 00:04:13, Place overall: 2, Place in age division: 2 | | Rough day. I just didn't have the mental preparation I needed to have just in case things went wrong. I kept invisioning things going right, but between schoolwork/teachers that weren't very good at cooperating/bad sleep/forgetting my race socks, and other stuff led to it not being an ideal 24 hours before the race. I should've mentally prepared for it just in case things didn't go perfect(they never do, but I still thought they would for some reason). Shake out by the hotel, then the coach drove me to the meet because people weren't ready to load the bus. We got there late, so I wasn't sure if I had enough time to warm up fully, so I cut my warm up short. After I got my stuff and had my dad hold it. This helped out a lot. I decided to just not wear socks.
The race started, and I was sure I knew Josh's plan, and he knew mine. I wanted to run fast, and he wanted to win. I took it out fast, but after 300m I hit a mental wall. At 600m my right hamstring got super tight. I knew I had to keep it fast to win or to make the dream mile. At 800m I was 2:04ish I think. Slower than where I wanted to be(2:02). After that I just kept getting distracted mentally and wasn't in it. I kept thinking about how it was super rainy and the water between my foot and the buttom of my shoe. I just wasn't in it. With 200m I could hear Josh, with 110m left he passed me and I just couldn't get moving. He finished quick and I just didn't have any motivation after that.
Cool down with Josh after. Even though we're tough competitors, we're still friends. I'm super dissappointed I didn't run faster or give it my all. Hopefully this isn't my last mile race before my mission. Shake out again later in the evening.

Utah State 3200m and 800m (1.988 Miles) 00:09:03, Place overall: 1, Place in age division: 1 | | Rough day again. The 3200m was the same as the 1600m, but Josh was tired from yesterday, so he didn't catch me. I went out fast, but just wasn't into it. I started hitting 70 second laps after the 4th lap, and it wasn't a good day.
In between events, it was great to be by the Lehi team. What a great crew of guys. ConnorBaller was hilarious with his high jump commentating. The 800m was later, but I was in slow heat. I was hoping someone would push the pace like last year, but it didn't happen. I got a really bad start and was in last in the first 80m. First lap was about 60-61. After that I knew I wasn't going to podium or score points, so I thought about dropping out. Our team needed points, and in just one minute I let the race go slow. With 300m left, a kid from Spanish Fork made a push, and I realized, I can run faster, so I pushed to the curve, relaxed and sat in 4th or 5th on the curve, and then kicked around everyone with 80m left. I won the heat, but the time was slow and it took 10th overall.
Sadly, my last races as a bobcat weren't PRs or close to what I wanted, but I after my mission, I will continue running. Hopefully I will be able to get more competitive in college. Thanks everyone for the support, it's been great to be part of an amazing running community.
