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.

       Track workout.  4X800's goal mile pace.  What I wanted to get was 2:13's.  My first was a 2:13 right on, my second and third were 2:16's.  I had way too long of a break between my third and my fourth, that I didn't feel stretched enough when I started it.  I got a 2:18 on that one.  Later did a mile to try out my spikes I just got.  If anyone knows how to break in spikes, please comment and tell me.  Did another half-mile waiting for my mom to pick me up.  Then my dog ran off, and I had to run a mile and a half to find him.  Later I found him, but I also got some miles in.

     Long hot run.  Didn't go at a fast pace, but I wish I would've.  7.5 miles for the run, then a bunch of striders.

     Small warm up.  Then the mile in the meet against Logan.  Jerrel wasn't pushing it.  We ran the first 3 laps alright, then he pushed it the second lap.  He ran a 4:36, I ran 4:42.  Later I did the 400, and got a 56 or 57 said Tyson.  Then I did the 800 in the medley relay, with Tyler R, Tyler W, and Chandler T.  I was the 800m, and Tyler R was taking it easy in the 400, but he still got a great time.  I wasn't too far behind when I started, but I lost a lot of ground during it too.  Tyson's team took first, while my team took second.  That's pretty good I thought.

     Did an easy day with strides before the big Grizzly invitational. Hoping to get a sub 9:40 in the two, and a PR in the mile.  I'll try to qualify for state in the mile, but I don't know how close I really am to it.

       I got up, my dad did the paper route, and I went to get ready for the race.  I ate a small piece of toast, and about a half cup of orange juice, and then we left.  We got there about 8:15, which is only 45 minutes before they started the 3200.  They had some girls heats, then some guys heats, and then my heat started at 9:40.  I just got some new spikes, which probably helped me a ton, that made me feel amazing.  I ran with Jerrell for it, and we stayed pretty consistent the whole time.  The first mile was a 4:45, and the 2400m mark was right on to have a 9:30. I passed Jerrel with 800m to go, then he passed me with 400m to go and I never caught him.  I kept trying to because I really wanted the school record, which is 9:29 flat I think, so I pushed it all the way.  Jerrell ran a 9:26 or 27, but still killed it.  Later I ran the mile, and I just wasn't mentally ready.  It had a brutal start, with two people getting tripped, and one of those(Chuk) got mutalated.  i started in the outside lane to stay away from it all.  I ran way too fast in the first 600m, but I got passed and I tried to relax and that spelled doom. I got a PR thanks to the spikes, but didn't have my best race.  Ran something like a 4:34,  but I really think I could've done better.  I placed 8th, Elijah Armstrong took first, Jerrell took 3rd, and Tyler took 4th.  Tyler missed qualifying times by about a second.
