Running Accomplishments:

Pre- High School- I did a few local races, such as 4th of July/charity 5ks. I mainly just ran for fun, and to get a feel for running. I didn't do a lot of training or workouts until Jr. High track started. As high school got closer, i started to get more serious.

Freshman Year- I decided to run xc for Weber High School. I ran very little over the summer, and had a rough start to the season. Despite the rough start, I got faster and was able to run on the varsity team more often than not. I dropped my 3 mile time to 17:04, but didn't make it to State. I finnished the season at Footlocker west regionals. I didn't prepare well and placed 22nd in the freshman race. (4th from Utah) Indoor track started and I wanted to break 5 really bad, but ended up running 5:02 at Simplot. When outdoor track started I was really anxious to win. I practiced with the high school as much as possible, despite running for Snowcrest Jr. High. I won a few outdoor meets, and dropped my mile time to a 4:40. At the district meet I took 2nd in the mile to Bronson Winter. During the 800m, I got a PR of 2:07.

Sophomore Year- I put in a good summer of running and was super excited for xc. I was now the 2nd man on the team. I had some really great races and continued to improve. I finished the regular season with a 16:00 5k. At footlocker west, i had a good race but not quite where i had hoped. Indoor came around and i had some nice PR's before i got bursitis in my left knee. Got better and transitioned to outdoor where the season started off well. After running my PR of 4:23 1600m, i got really sick and never got back to 100% during the season. I ended up at 9:41 for 2 miles, and 2:05 800m. I didn't have the performance I wanted at state, but im ready for the next year.

All time official PRs:

400m- 55, Sophomore track 2016

800m- 2:05, sophomore track 2016

1600m- 4:23* (sea level) Sophomore track 2016

3200m- 9:41, Sophomore track 2016

3 mile- 15:27* Sophomore xc 2015

5k- 16:00, sophomore xc 2015

*times converted

Short-Term Running Goals:

Break 15 for 3 miles

Sub 15:30 5k

Place in the top 10 at state xc

Qualify for Footlocker Nationals

Long-Term Running Goals:

Keep improving and getting faster. Train hard and not get burned out. Basically just enjoy the run.

Personal:

I will be a Junior at Weber High School this year. I'm LDS, and will be serving a 2 year mission after High School. I love animals, hiking/ fishing with my dad, and running with my friends.

It was nasty weather outside so we played shirt tag with the sprinters then went for an actual short workout. It was an easy day and the pace was pretty slow.

6 miles with Jake today. We went back up on the little trail we found behind the gravel quarry. It was raining so the whole thing was mud and we both just about ate it several times. We did pick ups every 6 minutes so that didn't help either. Despite almost turfing it 90 times, it was a fun run.

City-county is tomorrow so we went super easy. We got the boys together and went adventure running. After 1.5 miles and some crazy river crossings and probable trespassing, we turned around and jumped the fence back to the Weber track (except for Brayden because he's super white and can't even pretend to be able to climb a fence)

First day of city-county was today. I only raced the mile today. It was a good race but not my best. I still got a 1 second PR but I need to work on my 3rd lap and my finish.

Today started out with a great 2 mile. I felt really good the whole time and got a huge PR from my first time. I had a bit left after so I just need to race it more so I can go all out. Pretty soon after the 2 mile I had to do the 800. Let me just say, it was rough. My legs were dead and I ran a 2:07 which happens to be my freshman PR. 

It was still a great day all around.

Today was just an easy 4 miles (6:45). Later in the day I went mountain biking on a 9 mile up and back course I know. 

Time to switch focus for Arcadia.
