What was the greatest obstacle you've had to overcome in your high school career?

This last XC season I had a hip injury that prevented me from being able to go 100%. Being patient while not being able to show the world my level of fitness because of an injury was very frustrating.

I hydrate and sleep well the two nights preceding the race. When toeing the line I remember to run calm.

Any Pre Race superstitions?

Swiftwick socks and triple knotted shoes.

Most memorable race?

The only race of my junior year. I and my teammate Zarek Proffit had trained relentlessly since early December allowing us to go 1 and 2 in the 800 at the Snow Canyon Invite. I ran a PR of 1:55.2.

What is the best piece of advice you have received from either a coach or teammate?

Never too High, Never too Low.

Where are you at on college decisions?

I've been talking with a few College Coaches, however, I'm really waiting till after I get a few races in this year to show my top preferred colleges what I am really capable of. I want to run for BYU.

What are your top 3 goals you wish to accomplish before you graduate?

1.) I will run 1:49 in the 800.

2.) I will run 4:09 in the 1600.

3.) Enjoy this season with my teammates and coaches, just live in the present and remember my goals.
