Personal:

Served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints from July 2015-July 2017. I gained 30 lbs. during the service and came back out of shape; however I knew that if the Lord wanted me to once again run competitively, he would bless me to return to fitness.

I graduated from Sky View High School in Smithfield, Utah. I currently run for Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.

Total Distance

2.50

Did a 2 mile race. It was pretty fun. At first I was in the back and got crowded in. After a bit I ran around a bunch of people to get more towards the front. I was a little behind Tyler Roberts (who also went to the camp). We ran through some soccer fields, baseball fields, and then ran to the track. After 300m on the track we had run a mile. Right before the track I passed Tyler and some other guy whose name escapes me. One guy was in front of me, and then at the end of the first mile, Eric passed me. The first mile was at 5:03 or something.

The next mile didn't have much happen after that, or at least for me. The two guys in front of me battled it out and were pretty far ahead of me, maybe by 200m. At the end I didn't feel like I could sprint, but I tried. I don't think I did go much faster, but oh well. No one passed me at the end but some were pretty close. I barely stayed in front of them at the end. Another person on my team named Chase (AKA Georgia) was 2 people behind me. My time was a 10:47, which I was happy about because it was in the heat and all. After Tyler and I did a half mile cool down. Tyler was one of the people who almost passed me at the end, and he helped his team out a bunch. They took first place, which I thought was pretty cool. It was way fun to run that little race. They called Tyler an "unidentified runner" early on in the race when he was fighting for first. He later told me he didn't want to start out fast, but he didn't want to get caught into the group and go slower. Overall it was awesome.
