Got a decent sleep. Shout out to my parents cuz we got to the course and they bought me a sweat shirt and new spikes cuz i kinda lost mine. I needed new ones so it wasn't super bad. 2 mile warm up, strides, drills, whatevs. We were on the left side of the thingy, or the inside so that was good. I got a good start. I was really nervous tho, I couldn't open my stride that much or someone would clip me and i'd possibly get trampled cuz it was packed. First mile was 4:58. Relaxed. Within stricking distance. Second mile was good. Moved up. 5:13. Good but just a tad slower than I would like it to be. It was pretty fun hearing corbin talley screaming at his davis guys cuz me and ryan were passing all of them lol. Third mile was 5:06 for a 3 mile pr of 15:17. Was around Garret Barton and Travis Feeny for some of this. Closed on them before the beach, then kinda backed off. Got on the grass, closed. Backed off on the hill. Then me and ryan passed them on the top. Had a good kick but the u-turn sucked. Finished in 15:43, 2 spots behind joe benson cuz he passed a guy right before the end. 9th place. Really fun race. From sophomore to junior year at this race I cut off 37 seconds. From junior to senior year i cut off....wait for it..... 37 seconds.   

We were the 2nd team to get 2 runners in, behind timp. We were the 2nd team to get 3 runners in, behind great oak. We were the second team to get 4 runners in, behind timp. It was just our 5th and back didnt have good days so we ended up 4th. Only 12 points off of timp for first place, and only 7 points off of davis for third place. 

Shout out to Guppy for beating Aubrey Argyle! She got 12th. 

Shout out to Pine View for getting 5th as a team!
