Got to the race early and Connor and I went to go walk the course. There were parts that were muddy which was cool and I was pretty cool outside so I knew it would be a fast race. I sat down to put on my spikes and Rory decided to put his on right next to me and stomped on my foot with his 1/3 in spikes. I swore at him.

After cleaning my self up from Rory's spikes I got to line but they didn't start for a long time. I told the boys to just stay with me as long as they could. Rory and I got the front and made sure the pace stayed fast, the rest of the team all stayed in with us which was good. Rory and I led the race for the first two miles coming through the mile-to-go in 10:10 (our first mile was 5:00) We took off and Rory began to fall back and so did I but I tried my hardest to stay with the lead pack. I passed Paxton but Jaydn Asay was still quite a bit ahead of me.

I finished fourth behind Ben Saarel (14:58), Jake Heslington (14:59), Jaydn Asay (15:13) and I ran a 15:18 which would have had me winning this race last year. I did a 2 mile cool down with Ben and Paxton and we talked about our race. Ben noted that at one point in the race he saw our entire varsity team ahead of him, I lol'd at that. Our team finished second behind Mountain View's 64 with our 88. I am disappointed that we didn't beat them but I think by the end of the year we will.
