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: |

| | We did a run where we were supposed to run as a group. We were going to run miles in a certain time and then get faster from there. Our first mile was exact, our second was a 5:30 or two minutes faster than we were supposed to have it. Our third was really close, and our last was 1 minute too fast. Dylan, Matt, and I kinda pushed the last part, and I felt pretty bad about it. Did half a mile cool down after that. | Add Comment |
| | Easy pre-meet day. Tyler told me we would probably be going easy tomorrow so we can do better on Saturday. | Add Comment |
| | We had a meet against Box Elder and Roy. Coach told us to take it easy so we can have a great race for the meet Saturday. We did a good warm up. Then we took the first mile hard, then the next 2 miles we would go tempo and go with the group. Went pretty good. Tyler was in front of me for the first mile, then a Box Elder runner (who I think was probably wondering what we were doing) and then me. My first mile was 4:42, and Tyler's was 4 seconds faster. After that everyone just started coming. Drew wasn't going to be able to make the meet on Saturday, and Brennan said he wanted to go faster because he is running JV on Saturday. Our group was all together at about 1.5 miles, and stayed together for about that long too. We talked some and just enjoyed the run. At the last 300 meters we got into a train, and at about 200 meters left someone passed Tyler and Tyler passed him back. After that at the last 100 meters everyone started sprinting. It was a really fun run. After we had ran we ran/walked/stretched in the parade. | Add Comment |

First off, I actually got DQ. Besides for that, my team would have won. I'll explain why at the end.
Our team got up early and met at SV at 6:15. When we got to the meet, we walked part of the course, cheered for the JV girls. We had a while before our race started. We talked, cheered everyone on, and got ready for the race. The races were a bit different then other XC meets. They went 1. JV girls 2. JV guys 3. 7th varsity boys 4. 7th varsity girls 5. 6th varsity guys 6. 6th varsity girls. ect... The JV guys won the meet, and we had a lot of good finishes. Then the varsity started. Everyone on our guys team took 1st or 2nd. We were killing some of the teams. Bingham was our biggest worry from what I heard. I warmed up with Tyler.
We got up to the race line and some, whose jersey said Vikings, forgot his bib. They let him get it, which was the right thing to do. We started pretty good. The viking guy and a Bingham guy were with me the whole time. They both passed me at one part. We kept running for the course. At one part I noticed one of them go out of bounds a little, and I was thinking, in kind of a mean way and he was ahead of me, that I could say he stepped out of bounds by a ways. Then I thought that would be a stupid way to do good, and kept running. Sometimes I passed them, sometimes they passed me. Right before the second mile mark I passed them, and stayed ahead of them. A lot of my team kept cheering me on. I told Tyler and Brennan I was dead, but I kept pushing it. I had about 10 seconds on the other guys. I went at the last turn, where a lady was pointing to go. I then sprinted toward the finish pushing all I had. I got there a little over my goal time, but still got a good time. Then the guy behind me (stupid Bingham guy) kept saying, "he cut the course, he cut the course" and I had no idea what he was talking about so I ignored it. My team kept congratulating me and I felt way good. Later when I was way happy and we were leaving to where the rest of the team was, the officials called my coach over. He came back and told me that three coaches "verified" that I had cut the course, and I had been disqualified. Where the lady pointed on the last turn had been a wrong turn by about five to ten feet. I am really bummed about that. The vikings guy came up to me right before coach told me they disqualified me, and said that it doesn't matter if I cut the course because I was sooo far ahead of them it wouldn't make a difference and he thought it was stupid. I am still pretty bummed about it, but oh well, you can't change the past. I just needed to beat the Bingham guy or be right behind him for the team to win. Soo close. | Comments(6) |
