American Fork Grass Relays today, definitely one of my favorite races. The weather was awesome, it never really got too hot and it was overcast the whole time. Spencer started the relay off for our team, he did awesome and handed the baton off to Jaiden in 8th. Jaiden passed some more guys and got us into 3rd I think, before handing it off to Sage. Sage battled it out with Provo and Lehi and passed the baton to Josh in 2nd I think. Josh put a 12 second gap on Lehi and handed it off to me. My legs didn't feel great, but I knew that if I could just hold that lead coming into the gauntlet, then we would finish 2nd. The Lehi kid was good, and he gained 5 seconds on me on the last leg. It was tough, but I had a lot of help and motivation from the coaches and guys on the team. We finished 2nd to American Fork and had the 9th fastest time in the 16 year history of the meet, which was pretty flippin' sweet.
