JoJo,Bonnie, William, Stevie, and I ran the USATF Utah Association Championships today. It was at UVU. Bonnie ran before the boys race. She got 12:13. Everyone else ran in the boys race. It was hot, around 80°. So Dad told JoJo and me to pace a bit slower. He said run 82's until the last kilometer, then speed up. I started out a bit fast for the first lap. It was 79 high or 80. Then I slowed down to 82. JoJo was still with me at that point. Cole was prety far ahead. Then Simon Barlow also might have been ahead. Corbin Randall was ahead of Simon but behind Cole. At about 1400 I sped up to 79's and 78's. I passed Simon and caught up to Corbin by about 1600. I stayed with him and ran 81's for 2 laps. I should have put a gap on him. I feel like I could have, but I didn't. With about 600 to go I put a 2 or 3 second gap on him. He kicked and put a 4 second gap on me. I ran a decent last 400, about 78. My time was 9:54. I'm really happy with that. The weather wasn't good, but I still got a 6 second PR. Corbin won the 15-16 division in 9:50. Cole ran 9:37(he won the whole race even though he's in 13-14). JoJo ran 10:19. He had a hard time when I sped up. Full results here: https://www.runitgreen.com/meet-results. William ran 11:34. The heat was getting to him. He ran a good first mile, but couldn't keep the pace. Stevie ran 12:29. He also had a tough time.
