am- 25 minute shakeout run followed by breakfast and AP US History test. finished at like 12 and then we drove up with coach. 90 the whole way and we barely arrived in time

8pm- Herriman invite- 800m/ also 4x400

it was pretty toasty at the meet. me and julien went for a 5 minute shakeout(in my sick new pegasus) because of the long car ride. then we drained and went and warmed up. got back right in time to go spike up and get a couple stride outs I took my caffiene gel but i was supposed to take it like a half hour before. goal for this race was sub 2 and state q.

I started out good and out in front the first 100. The other guys moved around me a bit and I settled in like 6th place or so. the leaders hit a pretty quick first lap  and had a decent gap, not much of a pack going on. my 400 was right around 60 i knew i would need to hit the turn hard. At 450 I was moving pretty good and on the back straight I opened up and started passing. The front 2 guys were still like 25m in head i think but I was catching them. I kicked at 200 left. from 150 out I closed on the northridge kid and on the finish straight I tried to pass him on the outside but he was all over the place. i dont think he was trying to cut me off but he did and I was too tired to get another big move to get around him. just kept pushing till I crossed the line right next to him it was close.

after i finished my teamates came up and were all saying like way to go dude you got it you broke 2 and i felt so good. I still waited to see the official time though, 1:59.4. To someone just watching a 159 isnt crazy good or anything and even to me I still know I can do better. but just the feeling of accomplishing an important goal- even a small one- is something i havent felt in a long time. Julien beasted in his heat and ran like  2:03 haha i knew he wasnt a 207 guy.

I drank some chocolate protein but then I remembered I still had the 4x4 in not too long. cooled down and ran through some sprinklers. got a shirt for being top 6. for the 4x400 it went colin me macen and samson. That was my first time doing a 3 turn stagger. Colin was slow on his leg (55) so I started out in last. I was pretty strong in the middle i passed 1 guy or 2 i cant remember, but my last 100 was pretty weak I was beat ended up a 54 or something. me and macen nailed the handoff. redemption. he ran a 53 and Samson brought us home in like a 52. not a state q but good attempt. after the meet we went to the hotel, got some shiz to eat at the gas station because the garbage wendys employees decide to close an hour early. chilled in the lobby for a while and then watched the end of Nikes breaking 2 marathon attempt. Kipchoge close but not quite, still legendary. what a great day man

4pm- Region 9 - 1600m

this was my first meet ever at cedar and i gotta say i really like their track. and their field the grass is really nice. I had two races the first was the 16 and later the 800 in the medly. I drained my legs a little bit then warmed up with mitch and carson and julien and xander. Coach told us to do some pickups at race pace so we wouldnt go slow idk. We got good and warm it was windy but not terrible.

they had alley starts and I was in the 3rd one on the outside I think, i wasnt seeded very good. the race started I got out fast with the leaders. The first lap was blazin like a 63. I was comfortable still. 2nd lap 67. Nobody was really moving yet. I pushed to the front on the 3rd lap in good rythm and then Jensen and Caleb got moving and passed me with like 550 left but that lap was still 66 or so. I fell back pretty hard after those 2 passed me. my last lap was weak. I needed some more guys around there to push with and get me moving but I just was holding on as best I could for the last bit. Jaiden mustve been sitting behind me he passed me pretty easily in the last 20, im sure the other guys were closing on me too I didnt really kick that last 100. that split was like a 72 I think no bueno. even with that though my 1st and 3rd laps got me a 6 second pr and another state qualifier.

I got a lot of congrats from people after since I finally did a decent race. Ha at first i heard some people saying 427 for my time but turned out 4:30.12 that was a bummer I thought I broke 430. next week at state- sub 430 

Later our SMR team beasted, state q by time and place. Jacob Michael and Samson all did great on their legs and I finished us strong  with a 201 around there to take 2nd. 3rd fastest in 3A rn I believe. Listened to some kendrick lamar on the way home.

Last night coach got us sick new uniforms that we get to keep. We look fresh as heck in them. (ha and our haircuts) I got to sleep pretty late my bad.

815am- UHSAA State Championships- 3A 1600m

On friday we got there early and me and the boys went and warmed up on the ted bundy trail. It was kind of chilly, perfect racing weather. I felt great. There was a delay right before our race so we were out on the track for a while. We did some strides and such to stay warm then they called us to the line. I started out pretty good and close to the front didnt have to fight for position., dallen was with me for a bit. first lap 65 around. Jensen and Caleb and jaiden broke away a little. I kept a decent fast pace but I was still chilling. On the3rd lap I woke up a bit and I passed spencer and bryson. they stayed right with me and got moving and passed me back at the start of the 4th. They kind of gapped me but I kept it together and out kicked bryson for 7th overall 4:31. I wasnt bummed about my race but I know I couldve been sub 430 I didnt execute good enough, I didnt get after it where I shouldve. not a bad race at all though it was way fun I love racing at state and Im bummed I didnt medal but im proud I scored a couple points. for the rest of the day I just enjoyed the meet and hung with the homies. we ate at L and Ls again it was good. before bed I bleached my mohawk in jake and carsons room.

started of the day great watching PV in the 3200. I didnt qualify it haha. They guys did great. Carson ran a 928, 1 second off the school record and julien got on the podium as well. that 5a race was legendary, coolest race Ive seen in a while great job to all those guys. More epic stuff kept happening all day and state records and great races. Not gonna lie as the day went by I was getting nervous for my race. I was seeded 6th but ready to throw down. I was pumped.
 
State Championships- 3A 800m final
 
Warmed up to the bathrooms by the tennis courts.I did some strides outside of the stadium under the shade to stay cool it was pretty warm out. The first heat a guy ran a 158 (faster than my PR) but I wasnt to worried I knew I was going to pr. When we lined up the starter guy told our alley that he wants us all under 156 and I thought might as well Im not holding back today. I had the same start as my 1600, good behind the lead guys like I wanted no fighting for position. that first 200 was blazing though. lol I was expecting these guys to take it out a little slower the first lap considering caleb already won the 3200 that morning, nah dude we came through at 56/57 and I was barely trying to hold on to them. I didnt ease up for a moment that second lap I wanted so bad to win. my spikes were literally burning my toes. I finished strong with everything I had.  managed to get 5th with a 1:56.7. haha dude that race was so fun. I was after top 3 and I definitely gave it my best but you cant control how fast other guys run. Caden the 3A 800 champ with a .1 lead over caleb who also ran a 153! (i bet their uncle lance gets them the hookups) (thats a joke and idk if they are related to lance armstrong haha). But for real those armstrong brothers are beasts big congrats to both of them. laid down and took a rest and then got super hyped again for the 4x400. I felt like shiz but still split a 52.9. macen and colin also split 52s and samson closed in like a 50. we took 8th and prd. next year will be so dope because we are all juniors. DH won 3A boys and girls titles, they are dang good.
 
I'll finish up the season by saying how I love track and running alot and I love jesus and heavenly father so much they truly helped me throughout the last while. when you are struggling you just have to not give up. Know who you are and be it, Know what you want and go out and get it. and thanks for Holt and my bros and my family I love them alot. I cleaned up my mohawk and Ima keep it for a while I like it. peace
