LAST RACE OF HIGH SCHOOL

This was it. Felt better than usual on the warmup. We had to wait in the bullpen for a looong while because a kid passed out on the track during one of the previous races. Gun went off. I got out mid pack again, didn't wanna die towards the end. I never once looked at the clock so that was an accomplishment for me. Mile 1, I was mid pack and then started moving up. I remembered how bad I wanted us Dhills giys to go  1 2 3 4. I moved into 6th behind Eric Jaiden josh Bryson and mckade. Every time Jaiden surged I would stick with it; I'm proud of myself for that. I then moved into 5th with 400m to go, me and josh duked it out the entire last 400 meters. 200 meters to go and josh surged and I tried to match but he kicked harder than I could.  Finished 5th in 9:43.18, which is .01 off my PR lol. Altitude conversion from here to Chandler tho and I'm happy. 

This was really emotional afterwards. Coach came over and was crying and I was holding back tears; this was my last race as a high schooler. These last 4 years with my brothers and coaches have been so perfect. I've made so many friends and had so many great opportunities to perform and have fun and be successful and I'm so grateful for coach fielding for these last 4 years of my life. I wouldn't have it any other way. The things I've done these last 4 years, I'll remember for the rest of my life.

Then me and Boston decided to go run squaw peak for fun haha. Scott (who had not run in 5 months) came with us and he actually ended up beating us up the mountain lol. We decided we really wanted pizza pie care but we didn't have a ride, so we ran there lol it was awesome. I love those guys. 

Really great and memorable end to my high school career. We ended up winning out 4th straight state title. I'm so grateful to be a part of such a stellar team, I've had so much fun and I love each and every one of you. Even those who aren't on my team. I've had so much fun meeting people and racing other people, and huge shoutout to my fellow seniors on the blog, I'm sure you're feeling the same way.  Good stuff from everyone today.

Now just stay tuned for my transition into collegiate running at SUU.
