Race: Wasatch Invite at Soldier Hollow (3.1 Miles) 00:16:13, Place overall: 1, Place in age division: 1

Total Distance

7.10

Woke up at 6 then took a shower and ate a banana and drove to the high school. Slept on the bus and got to Soldier Hollow pretty early. Connor, Rory and I all went and walked the course but turned around after the first mile. Went and got the team and warmed up for about 20 minutes. Got to the line and did some striders and idiot drills.

They shot the gun and Andrew Brewer and Isaac Faux all took off while Rory decided to stay behind and spike me. I got around Rory and Connor and began to try and catch Andrew and Isaac. Isaac fell back and I stayed a good ways behind Andrew before catching him at around the halfway point. I passed him and I decided I was going to try and win but Andrew held on for quite a ways.

I surged before the last hill and opened up a gap and flew down the last hill before hitting the uneven ground at the bottom. I gave it everything I had in the last 100m then looked back and realized I had won by 19 seconds. Connor McMillan led the 4 AFers behind Andrew and Rory came in 7th. We were 2nd as a team to AF by only 14 points.

Rory and I went and cooled down with the AF boys and realized that they are just as immature as our team maybe more! I really need to work on my consistent stretching as that has seemed to help me perform at a higher level.

Nice race, beating Brewer and Faux. Your team did great too. You guys and Bonneville both have a shot against Mountaine View this year at state.

Thanks dude! I am pretty excited to race you and Jerrell at state this year. What other meets are you guys going to?

We are going to the BYU invite and a relay 4k I don't know much about, and cache-box, which is pretty much a pre-region meet without Bonneville and Roy. What about you guys?

We are having our Herriman Invite this week, Bob Firman next week but our JV is going to TOU relays. I was second at TOU last year behind Brandon Clark from Bingham and Jerrell was a ways back. We are going to Park City in two weeks though.
