Easton Brandt has made great strides his senior year and he is already off to a hot start coming off his two personal best performances from the snow canyon invitational last week. At Snow Canyon, he ran 4:29.51 and finished 2nd overall and came back the next day to run a 9:43.54 for another 2nd place performance.

I got started running my freshman year of high school mainly just doing sprints and jumping but then moved to running xc and distance events in track my junior year.
Favorite Workout?
My favorite workout is anything to do with 400's and 800 repeats but I really enjoy doing 1000m repeats.
My least favorite workouts are when the team does mile or 1200m repeats.
What I like to do before a race is run the race in my head and picture exactly how it's going to feel and layout. I do about 10-15 min for warm up with just a slow light jog to loosen the muscles up. Followed by some stride outs and some plyometrics than counseling with my coach on how I should best approach and run the race.
As for pre-race superstition, I don't usually have anything but for bigger races, I tend to try to stay away from anything that could possibly go wrong such as curbs as to avoid injury
My most memorable race was state cross country 2018 placed 2nd
As for college decisions I have signed and will be joining the SUU men's cross country team this coming fall 2019
My top 3 goals for this season is to go under 4:20 in the mile and under 9:20 in the 2 mile also run a 1:50 for my 800m
