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.

     Felt a lot better than yesterday in the throat.  My legs, not so much, but they felt good.  I started raining and was really windy for about the first 10 minutes of the meet. Then it just lightened real soon afterward.  I did a good warm up, and decided to wear my new spikes (same type, just different color.  The other ones are really worn, especially after a few XC meets.) to break them in for Arcadia.  I got an alright start this time.  I ran it by myself for most of the way.  Splits(as I can remember them.) 1:03, 2:11, 3:2X, 4:35, then I forgot the rest.  My laps, besides the first and second were pretty relaxed.  I didn't really push to what I think I could do, but I didn't have anyone else pushing me so I'm alright with it.  After I did the 800m, which we didn't have a lot of time in between (our cool down for the 3200 was our warm up the the 800!), but I still wanted a good time.  I wore my old XC flats from freshman year( they're about 8 or 9 ounces, kind of a heavier shoe) and so that was different than usual.  I was in last place for the first 300m, and then slowly tried to push my sore legs.  I was at 65 for the first lap, and 60 for the second.  I was pushed in to lane 2 or 3 on every corner, so I'll blame my bad place for that.  I took 5th I think.  Tyson (whose been injured for a while) took 4th, and Kyler took 9th.  Afterward a good cool down with Tyson and Nick.
