Freshman PRs:

      I ran for American Leaderships Academy my freshman year, so I was in 2A and facing much easier competition than I would in higher divisions. I really only did cross country because it would get me in shape for soccer, But when I realized I was actually good at it I made running my number 1 priority. I barely made it to state, but had a bad race and did not place very well. I decided to try a half marathon in November and did pretty good (considering I had only been running seriously for about 4 months.) I started off track running my fastest time in the mile, and didn't get another pr in the mile until state championships. I realized I was better at the 3200 and thats what I have been focusing on since then. At state track I got prs in all 3 distance events, which was a huge confidence booster!

Sophmore PRs:

      My sophmore cross country season went much like last track season. I started off with my fastest time and didn't improve on it until one of the last races. I struggled a lot during this season, I got down on myself after every bad race I had, that was probably my biggest problem. At region I had an absolutely terrible race. We were planning on getting the team qualified for state, and I'm pretty sure it was completely my fault we didn't. Haha yeah it was bad, I ran about a minute slower than what I wanted and got 20th or something. I kept training through to December, did a few races, and had a really succesful race at  Footlocker West. I got 14th in the Frosh/Soph race. Even though I got out kicked by two people in the last 100 I was really pleased, especially after that bad season. I started indoor track running 10:37 and 4:49. Soccer conflicted with track a lot and I think it was really detrimental to my times. I'm thinking about not doing soccer next year and just focusing on track. I had a few good races, and managed to destroy this kid in the last 300 meters at region and make it to state! Unfortunately I let the fact the I was seeded last at the state meet get to my head, and I got last by over a hundred meters. Not only the worst race of the season, but also the most humiliating. On to cross country!

Junior PRs:

     Junior cross country season went well. It was rough but I had some high points. Finally broke 16 for 3 miles at region with 2nd place, broke an hour in the 10 mile and 34 minutes in the 10k. State xc went really bad. I missed my goal time by 40 seconds and my goal place by 25 people. Footlocker wasn't that great, I got the same time as last year and missed my goals on place and time. Trained really hard with high mileage through the winter.

Short-Term Running Goals:

Train consistently and have some good races in the next few months. It would be nice to break 15 in the 5k soon as well.

 

Long-Term Running Goals:

Get on BYU's XC team after my mission sometime. I also want to run under 29 for 10k and 14 for 5k but we'll see!

Had our team trials today. Ran to the pioneer cemetery as a warm up which is 1.4 miles. We started fast and after about 50 meters it was Heston and I, then Nate not far back. The downhill was super fast, we were going sooo fast I thought I was going to fall. On the bottom we just cruised. I was going to make a move and try to break Heston 50 meters from the hill, but we were already going a pace that I could barely handle. I guess I wasn't really prepared for this to hurt so I took my foot off the gas on the uphill. He made a gap on me but I did close it a little at the top of the hill. I put in a half hearted kick at the end, Heston beat me by 7 seconds. Nate was about 10 or so seconds back, I'm not quite sure. I'm so excited for these next 2 xc seasons! Coach thinks we could take state next year! After a lot of pancakes and a parents meeting I ran a mile and a half back home.

Went out again about 10 minutes after I got home. Maddie, our top girl, came over and we ran together for 2.5 miles then she went home. I was going to do hills but decided to do a steady state run in stead. Splits for the second run were 8:19-7:36-7:48-6:32-6:48-6:31-6:34- and 5:04 for .71 miles. Felt really good, not that hard. I'm kind of bummed about not being with Heston, but I think I will be at the end of the season. Me Heston and Nate are gonna be the guys to beat next year!

First official race! Warmed up 1 mile with the team, and about one more about 30 minutes before the race. Maddie did super good! She got 6th and alivia got seventh. I was pacing fletcher today to because I was going to do a half marathon this Saturday, which I ended up not doing.  The start was really fast and the course was ridiculous. We had to run under these metal bars that several kids got closlined by, and it was really twisty. I got into maybe top 20 and I turned around to find fletch and he was right behind me. I started running 5:30 pace like he wanted but he was having a rough time. He kept working hard to catch up with me and then he would slow down, and work his way back up again. Our first mile ended up being 5:43. I was encouraging him the whole time, but I guess he just isn't good enough for that pace yet. He's put in great mileage over the summer and I think he will get there. Second mile was 5:46 and coach told me to just go and get as many people as I could. I was 17th at the time and I pushed it hard and closed with a 5:12. So I passed 13 people! Oh and Heston won which was freaking amazing! I got fourth and Nate got 5th. Our next guy was fletcher who got 20th. We really need those back guys to improve or we won't win region. Salem beat us by 8 points. I think if I had actually raced I could have gotten first or second. I'm pretty sure I can stay with Heston. Cooled down .5 miles with taya afterward. I'll run a few when I get home.

4 miles easy.

Missed xc so I ran later at vasa. Workout was 2 miles tempo. Warmed up 3 miles at 7:30 pace and did the tempo at 1% incline, 10.2-11 mph. First mile was 5:40, second was 5:29. Felt good, I get really sweaty when I ran in the gym though. 1 mile cool down.

Got to run with Nate and his brother spencer who is at byu now. He's soooo fast! He's gone like 14:10 in the 5k so he probably thought we were so slow. First few miles were 7:30s, then a one mile 'tempo' that felt faster than it was, probably because of the hill. Talked a lot about training and funny races he's had, he's a cool kid. He dropped Nate and I off while he finished to 12 miles. Really solid long run! I'll do more later
