Personal:

I'm a junior at Hurricane High School. I love music. I sing in the chamber choir and I play the piano and the guitar. Other sports that I love include basketball, soccer, and racquetball. By the way, if anyone's up for a game of racquetball, I'm game! Anyways, gotta run...

Practice today was INsane! Started at 3:00 and didn't get home till quarter to 6!  We were going to do a pyramid but coach decided to have us do 6x400s instead.  I didn't think it was going to be too bad but it was!  Here are my splits: 64, 64, 64, 61, 60, 61.  I was dead after the last one.  Then coach wanted us to do 6x200s!  We started doing those at 28 second pace but after two I couldn't take it anymore.  I was cramping up everywhere and the area around my right kidney was exploding!  We decided to stop there.  

In P.E. today we ran 12 minutes stairs.

Ran 4x600s around 1:40 in a horrible wind.  Then 2x200 accelerators.  One mile cool down.

Drove up to Provo on the bus for BYU invitational.  We went to Provo track to practice.  I ran 2 miles and then did a few quick 200s to get my legs limbered up.

Medley Relay was the first race today around 3:00. Our team was ready to break the school record. It was a perfect day! Our 400 runner, Colten, was sick and was throwing up but wanted to run it anyway. We were in the last heat, lane 2. Mitch ran the first 200 and handed off to Presten. It was a bad handoff but they made it in the lane. Presten came around in 3rd and handed off to Colten. Colten fell back to 6th but still ran an good 400 and gave it all he had. When I got the baton I was in 6th place and the first guy was over 50 meters ahead of me. I passed a few guys on the first lap to get in 4th. First lap was a 1:57. I looked at the clock and it read 2:37 so I knew I had to run the last lap in 58 seconds to break the record. I thought, no way was I going to catch the first guy but I gave it all I had. On the final stretch I caught up to the other 3 guys and barely pulled ahead right at the finish line to win! Presten and Colten caught me before I fell over and held me there while we looked at the time. It was 3:35.5, only .4 faster than the school record! Coach got my split time at 1:55.5! That is a second faster than our 800m school record and a 2 second PR off the last medley 800 I ran! We were all so excited and ready to take state!

I ran the 1600 afterwards. Halfway into the first lap I immediately got stomach cramps all over! Kept a good pace for the first 2 laps, but my legs were shot after that. Last 2 laps were 1:10 and 1:12! Way slow! I ran about 4:35.
