I ran for American Leaderships Academy my freshman year, so I was in 2A and facing much easier competition than I would in higher divisions. I really only did cross country because it would get me in shape for soccer, But when I realized I was actually good at it I made running my number 1 priority. I barely made it to state, but had a bad race and did not place very well. I decided to try a half marathon in November and did pretty good (considering I had only been running seriously for about 4 months.) I started off track running my fastest time in the mile, and didn't get another pr in the mile until state championships. I realized I was better at the 3200 and thats what I have been focusing on since then. At state track I got prs in all 3 distance events, which was a huge confidence booster!

Sophmore PRs:
My sophmore cross country season went much like last track season. I started off with my fastest time and didn't improve on it until one of the last races. I struggled a lot during this season, I got down on myself after every bad race I had, that was probably my biggest problem. At region I had an absolutely terrible race. We were planning on getting the team qualified for state, and I'm pretty sure it was completely my fault we didn't. Haha yeah it was bad, I ran about a minute slower than what I wanted and got 20th or something. I kept training through to December, did a few races, and had a really succesful race at Footlocker West. I got 14th in the Frosh/Soph race. Even though I got out kicked by two people in the last 100 I was really pleased, especially after that bad season. I started indoor track running 10:37 and 4:49. Soccer conflicted with track a lot and I think it was really detrimental to my times. I'm thinking about not doing soccer next year and just focusing on track. I had a few good races, and managed to destroy this kid in the last 300 meters at region and make it to state! Unfortunately I let the fact the I was seeded last at the state meet get to my head, and I got last by over a hundred meters. Not only the worst race of the season, but also the most humiliating. On to cross country!

Junior PRs:
Junior cross country season went well. It was rough but I had some high points. Finally broke 16 for 3 miles at region with 2nd place, broke an hour in the 10 mile and 34 minutes in the 10k. State xc went really bad. I missed my goal time by 40 seconds and my goal place by 25 people. Footlocker wasn't that great, I got the same time as last year and missed my goals on place and time. Trained really hard with high mileage through the winter.

| | Great workout today! We jogged to the sports park as a warmup. The workout was 10x400 meters on the grass. Me and Heston are trying to push for a sub 16 minute 5k this season, so we did these at 75-77. The last three were 69, 68, and 59. I almost beat Heston on the last one, but he had a better kick than me. Ran back to school as a cool down.

| | Moderate 3 mile tempo run with the XC team. Not nearly as hard as I thought it should have been, We were going way too slow. It was really hot though, and I think our mile splits were 6:30-6:10-5:45. I had soccer practice afterward, so that added like 1.5 miles or so.

| | 3 mile easy run on the river trail with Heston, Nate, and Guts. We talked about our goals for the season and for highschool. All of us are pretty nervous for our meet tommorow. Conner Mantz is racing there! Im really exctited to see how he does! Soccer practice later.

Aggie XC Invitational (3.107 Miles) 00:16:59, Place overall: 52 | | Not very happy about this race. I was aiming for sub 16:10, but that didn't work out at all. I warmed up with Nate 45 minutes before the race. I was feeling pretty good for the race began, I felt really confident. At the begining I panicked because of how many people there were, and I went out too hard. By 300 meters I was in 20th, and then I just kept letting people pass me. I wasn't mentally preparedfor this race. Nate passed me, which I was not happy about, I usually beat him by 30 seconds. I tried to stick with him, but he was following the pack in front of me and they were flying up a steep gravel hill. I caught up to that pack on the downhill, but finished 52nd. Nate finished 50th, and Heston was 18th. I was going to stick with Heston, but he was too fast today. I was discouraged and mad at myself, so afterward I did 10x100 meter sprints and a long cool down.

| | I was still angry about yesterday's race, so I decided to do something hard to condition my self. I just started running and ended up at West Mountain, so I ran home. I was really sore and hurting by the end. It was 13.75 miles.
Had a tough soccer game, probably 3 miles.

| | 4 miles with XC team. It took 30 minutes, and it rained really hard. We were going to go 7, but the rain was really bad. Our shirts weighed like 20 pounds from all of the rain!
Soccer practice in the rain, about a mile and a half.

Salem (3.05 Miles) 00:17:01, Place overall: 2, Place in age division: 2 | | Good race today. It rained really really hard again, so there were puddles and mud everywhere! I got out good in the first 200 meters, and I was in second/third at 400 meters. A kid named Dakota took off, and none of us could go with him so we just let him break away. Nate stayed behind me and a kid named Chestnut, but on a steep hill Chestnut started sprinting and so I had to go with him, but Nate fell back and wasn't able to make it up. Chestnut and I kept a good even pace for the whole time. We could have run way faster but our shoes were full of water. I let him make all of he pacing decisions, so he tryed to surge away a few times but I just stuck with him. It wasn't terribly hard. With 600 to go, he started to turn up the pace, so I knew I would need to make a move soon. We came around a corner and I cam around the inside hard and was already 5 meters ahead of him. Then I sprinted up and down a short hill and onto the track. I looked back and I was 15 meters ahead, so I just kept a good paced sprint, not quite all out until the last 50 meters. Dakota was 15 seconds ahead of me. Heston didn't run because he hurt his toe the day before, and Nate came in fourth, 15 seconds behind me. 2 mile warm up/cool down.
1.5 miles when I got home.

| | 7.5 with xc team. Pretty good, my legs were a little sore, but not too bad. Anywhere from 8:30 to 7:00 mins per mile.

| | Good workout. Jogged 1 mile to sports park. We did xc intervals, 4x1000 and a 400. Times were 2:55-3:10-3:09-3:05. Heston wasn't there. Coach wanted us to sprint up and down the hill at the end, so that really hurt. My 400 was 60 even. Jogged 1.5 miles home.
