AM- did a shake out run with Kami and Lucy and then another one later with Sam Sorenson. Hung out in our hotel until 5.

PM- Did some steeple drills with Coach Mostert and fell in the water hazard (ouch). I got dried off and then waited for a while to go warm up. I did a mile with Dakota and Tommy and talked about our race. I made the goal to be second from Utah. Got my spikes on and headed to the line.

RACE: I took off in 5th to last place and at the 100m mark surged and passed the entire field excluding Jake. I stayed in the lead group but the kids from the other states kept breaking my stride so broke away from the group on the third hazard and put myself in second. I ran the next lap with no competition and then on the last lap Connor McMillan from AF came up on me and I held him off for second. Jake ran a 6:02 which was a meet record and me and Connor were 6:12's.

I cooled down with the Utah steeplers and then went and stretched with them.

Well done. Do you plan on running the steeplechase at UVU? It's a brutal race, isn't it? Congrats on an exceptional senior season.
