I have been running since fifth grade. My favorite professional runners are David Rudisha and Evan Jager. My favorite high school runner is Chris Watson because he periodically reads this blog and should definitely make one.

Probably my highest-quality Cross Country performance. I think that my run today showed what I'm capable of doing well in a way I hadn't yet this season. I believe that I was ranked around 40th of the overall Washington runners, all of whom came to the race except for Peter, who was there for the run-through the day before but disappeared on race day. Thus, my goal was to pass a few guys ranked ahead of me and be top 50. The race goes out hard and so I started out pretty much last, although I was going at a strong pace. The course was narrow and it was very difficult to pass, so moving up was very difficult. At first, I slowly made my way up past a bunch of guys, mostly Oregon, that I didn't recognize. Then I realized I was passing some guys who were ranked slightly behind me who I was a little worried about, and I started to get more comfortable with how my race was going. I kept passing and started going by people who were of my speed and some who I knew were a little ahead of me. Approaching the two-mile mark, I passed some people who were considerably ahead of me this season. At this point I went past Andrew and he went with me. After that I began passing people I never even fathomed beating. I crested a hill and realized I was in like 20th place. I brought it home, but my kick could have been a lot better, maybe I would have finished in the 16:00-16:03 range had it been strong. Either way I'm not complaining about my race: though I finished 12th in the Washington 3A state race, I was 21st out of both states, 12th out of all Washington runners, and 5th out of 3A(Whoops I had entered it as 2A before). Andrew came in about 3 seconds behind me and was the 1st 2A competitor after getting 4th during the state meet (Barely outleaning 5th). Both of us had great races and I'm very happy that it ended on this note. Now for my 2 week break and then track season.
