Personal:

Pine View High School class of 2008! (just graduated May 23). I became a runner my sophmore year when I started Cross Country and I have been running ever since. Ran XC and Track 3 straight years. I love road races and all that cool stuff.

I'm going to serve an LDS mission in Tallahassee Florida, August 13, speaking spanish.

August 2010- Just got back! Mission was great. I ran a little, maybe a total of 25 miles the whole 2 years. haha.

We'll see when I hit the streets again.

Race: Region at Snow Canyon - Track (1 Miles) 00:05:03, Place overall: 1, Place in age division: 1

Total Distance

4.00

Ran a mile warm up with BY and Decker. Got ready for the JV mile.

1600 I started bad and ended up in the back but I worked my way up to the front. By the second lap I was in about 4th. On the 3rd lap I took the lead and pushed hard. The 3rd lap is always hard and I knew I needed to gut it out. On the final lap I think I was at 3:46ish and coach was telling me to run a 1:14 just like practice. I tried hard to dig and kick to the finish. I held on to win and get a PR by 6 seconds, 5:03. I wanted to break 5 but I feel pretty happy because I know I put it all out there. Felt so dead and exhausted but we live for that.

I think these are right. 1:12 1:18 (2:30) 1:16 (3:46) 1:17

Thought about retiring and not running the 2 mile but talked with my Dad and decided to go for it.

3200 - My friend, sean the thrower, ran a couple laps and threw up. It was funny and he pulled me out way fast on the first lap. Tried to run strong for my last 2 miler and I won. I was pretty tired but ran ok. 11:22, I'll put splits in later.

Fun track meet, everyone did great. The girls tried hard, I feel bad they didn't get what they wanted but they are still so awesome. Boys won region! Some sweet races today.

Region champs

JV 1 and 2 mile champ : )

And now I am done with my high school racing career (besides wasatch this summer). It's been sweet.

Jeff you are awesome! You ran some amazing races yesterday and I'm glad you won. It's been so great to be able to run with you and I'm excited for all the cool stuff we'll be doing in the future. Thanks for being such an amazing friend: helping me push when it's hard, making me smile when I'm not-so-happy and just being overall a fun guy. You are one of my favorite people EVER. I'm going to miss you!
