Running Accomplishments:

2nd Year of XC (Senior Year). My best races thus far have come from Nike Regionals down in Pheonix (5K), the Dixie Invitational (800), and the Davis Invitational (1600). I took 8th place in the 1600 and 11th in the 800 at 3A State. Also at state we were in the slower heat of the Sprint Medley and ended up taking 3rd overall, that was pretty legit.

Best 5K: 16:28

Best 800: 1:59

Best 1600: 4:24

TRACK GOALS FOR 2014:

Sub 4:20 in the 1600

4:15 in the 1600

Sub 9:50 in the 3200

9:30 in the 3200

PR in the 800

1:54 in 800

Long-Term Running Goals:

After high school and my mission I think that it would be really cool to get into the St. George Marathon. That is one thing I would like to accomplish in my lifetime. Hopefully I will be able to do multiple. In all I would just like to enjoy the time I run and have some fun experiences with it.

Dixie race day! A lot is on the line, 4 guys going for the last three varsity spots. Ran three miles in the morning with the same ole arctic circle run. I was looking forward to this race after my SUU one. I started kind of slow but that's the way I like it, not one to haul out at the sound of the gun. I made my way to the rest of the guys (Colten, Braden, and Matt) We all stuck right there and kept a nice pace for the whole race. The race really didn't feel like it was that long. I come up around the last bend before the final stretch and I can hear Coach Holt yelling that there are only 3 varsity spots and that there was 4 of us. It took us all a sec to register it but we all kicked it into gear. I was leading the crew when out of nowhere Braden comes flying by on a dead sprint. I try to kick and I find some energy to push ahead of him. We took 5,6,7,8 all within 4 seconds I think. It was a great race. Props to those other three guys! I felt really good and it was a nice competition between us all. Nervous but excited for Murray! Great bounce back race from SUU.

Murray race day! Started off the day with a nice 3 miler on the same route. Went up to Sugar House park to get a good feel for the State course so that was neat. Got some lunch then headed over to where the race was. First big varsity race and I couldn't believe the people that were there. So many people, it was a super good experience though. We did our warm up and prepped ourselves for our race. I was a little nervous but I was excited. I knew that I would be pushed more with the big competition here. We started and I started a little bit faster than I have in the past but I just kept a good eye on Matt. I got up with him and we kept it going and stayed close for the whole race. Thank you Matt for pushing me and making me have a better time, and good job on your race dude. You are beast. Anyways.. as I was saying we start going down this hill and for some dumb reason I am slowing down.. Matt was a little bit behind me when all of a sudden I feel this "Whack!" right on my bum. I got going back to my speed again and went with Matt. As the race went on I could hear people yelling "One more mile" That made me kind of push it. Then we got closer and closer and people were screaming only 800 meters left. Matt and I kept it going. It seemed like we were passing people rather than being past. We came flying around that last sharp turn where we were on the final sprint. I found a kick and finished strong. Matt finished really strong too. We raced really well as a team taking 7th overall I believe. I am proud of the rest of the guys, they did so good! We are getting better and there is always room for improvement but let's keep up the good work guys! Loving XC (:

Went on my six miler. Ran the first three with my sis and then went out and finished the rest with some music. It was a good run, finally updating my blog. Guess what though, it is completely updated! Got a nice week ahead full of some good running!

Herriman Invite! It was a super hard course, the Mutha Cussa was crazy but it was so legit to finish it because of how insane it was. Slower time but a good race. Good overall day!

Nebo Invite and I did pretty well, the course was a little bit longer and I beat my PR for a 5K even though it was longer so that was good. I was exhausted after the race but it was a good day!

Cedar Invite! This was an awesome day, even though the course was shorter I ran a sub 17 and that was so cool. I like this course, very productive race!
