I ran the 3000 at a USATF track meet today. JoJo, Bonnie, William, Stevie and MoMo also ran. It was at Corner Canyon high in draper. Corner Canyon is a pretty windy track. The wind wasn't super bad though. JoJo and I planned on running even 80s. The first lap was good, 78 or 79. I was tempted to go with the leaders but I ran the right pace. At 800 we had 2:37. Then we ran 2:40 for the next 800. JoJo fell back at 1600. I kept pace pretty well though. I don't remember my exact splits, but I ran mostly even 80's for the next couple laps. But I slowed down with 2 laps to go and at 2600 I had 8:42. 2 seconds behind pace. I had a good kick but just barely missed breaking 10:00. I ran 10:00.16. That is a 20 second PR. I'm very happy with it. Cole just barely broke the state record in 9:35. There were also 2 other kids ahead of me. JoJo ran 10:13. A small PR. MoMo, who was running the 3000 for the first time, ran 12:01. Stevie ran 12:21, also his first time running the 3000. William ran 11:28. Bonnie ran 12:15. Hopefully I can run 9:40 or 9:30 at Nationals.
