Running Accomplishments:

Pre-highschool: I loved to run and ran a few small local 5k's, but I did not run much on my own, besides junior high track.

Freshman year: I ran cross country and traied wih the team most of the summer.  When the season started I ran 3 races including Murray Invitational.  I got a huge PR there but after the race my foot hurt and I had a hard time walking. I ran on it for the next week but it was not getting better, so I went to a Sports MD and found out that i had a stress fracture.  Becaue of that injury I missed the rest of the season. Then I ran track for my junior high but did not do extremely well.

Sophmore year: I trained hard over the summer and I got a 3 minute PR on my first race.  I continued to PR, and had a good, injury free season. I ran indoor track an had some good PRs. I ran at simplot and had a great time. I did track and  ran some goodtimes and cut my time down by 15 seconds, I was hoping that I could get low 5's in the mile, but I had fun and was able to race at the steepechase and have a fun time through out the season. At sophmore region I was able to PR in the 800 and I missed my PR in the mile by 2 seconds.

Junior year: I ran a little over 500 miles over the summer, but wasn't improving how I would have liked over the season. I was not consistant at all and was sick for aboout 3 races. I finally had a good race at region and dropped a 46 second pr. Track went well, I went sub-5 in the mile finally and got a PR in the 2 mile pretty easily. I didn't really hit the times I had hoped for throughout the season due to sickness and I just wasn't in it.

PRs:

800: 2:11

1600: 4:56.35

3200: 11:17.47

3 mile: 17:41

5k: 18:07

Short-Term Running Goals:

Cross Country 2016:

Run 650 to 700 summer miles SUCCESS

Low 15's on the 5K and Sub 15 3 mile

Place at region and state

Go to footlocker nationals

Track 2017:

Sub 4:20 mile

Sub 9:15 on the 3200

Sub 2:00 on the 800

Sub 6:25 on steeple chase

Qualify for State, Arcadia, and Great South West, and become the best runner I can be.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Run cross country and track in college. Keep improving and just having fun. I'll probably run an ultra or two for the heck of it and to see if I like them.

Personal:

I'm a Senior at Weber High School. I am LDS and plan on serving a mission before college. I'm a member of The Hobbyjogger Project.

I was super excited to race today and was ready for it. I did a quick shakeout after I woke up and then we headed over to the course. I warmed up for 2 miles and did some strides and dynamics. The race started good, and I didn't start out too fast. I rode right behind the top guy with a small group before he fell off and died aroudn the mile mark.. I didn't really want to take off into the lead yet and just contined with my plan of sticking with the pack. Within the next quarter mile the rest of the group fell off and It was me and a lady left leading it. We ran right by eachother for pretty much the rest of the race and we sorta leap frogged, she would take the lead, then we would switch, then we would be next toi eachother, and that sorta just repeated through out the race. With about .75 of the race left she was making me hurt pretty bad and I almost lost her, but then I refocused and took the lead at the last big hill with about .3 left. I feel like hills are one of my strengths, so I used that to my advantage andrealy pused it hard up it. At the top of the hill there is about .15 left, I really started to kick and could hear her right behind me. I finished with a time of 18:05.4 and she finished about 4 seconds behind me. I was talking to her after the race and shes a legend! Her name is Melody Jenson and she ran for BYU a few years ago and has won the Deseret News 10k. I honestly had a realy good time racing with her and was glad she was the to push me. After I did a 2 mile cooldown with a mile of it being barefoot. Later tonight I did 4 more miles just to relax and looses my legs.
