Got there and did 2 miles warmup and then raced the mile. It was really stupid how they seeded us because the fast seeds were the highest numbers and we had to start on the back row. So the start was awful. The first 2 laps I worked on passing people until I was about 3rd. Then the 3rd lap I threw a surge and took the lead which I now realize was a mistake. I kept the lead until the start of the 4th lap where Josh Ward and another kid from Davis passed me and I finished 3rd.
Cooled down 2 miles then sat around for a bit before warming up 2 miles for the 800. Ran a 2:02 which was an indoor PR and I had a really good kick. My legs were tired from the mile so the start was awful. I fell right into last place and was just trying to not get last. Then with one lap left my legs just started moving really well and I was able to get myself into 4th place and finish.
Cooled down/warmed up 2.5 for the 2 mile. By that time lots of people had left and there wasnt really anyone in my race. Got out good and worked but I wasnt able to break away from the pack until lap 5. Finished strong I thought but I didnt really have anyone to push with so I ran a 9:52. Cooled down 3 miles and then another 4 later.
Shout-out to my boy Conner Baller who freaking killed it and he has amazing hair!
