AM: 2 mile shake out by Morrison Park. If you guys ain't suckas and are cool with the Jack and want to watch the squad run, we will be throwing down in the 4xMile tonight at 10:48 Utah Time. Just go to Arcadiainvitational.org and they will be live streaming it.
PM: Arcadia Invitational 4x1600 meter. 1.25 warm up, got to 1.5 with the strides. We were the last team on the list in the invite so I don't know if that means we were supposed to be the slowest? But we were on the very outside of lane 9 so Ryan did his best to get in a decent position. He ran great, split a 4:25 and we think got 9th. Collin for the second meet in a row ran insanely good. He got a 4:23 high. Thomas went out hard in a 61, held on and ran really well in a 4:24 and got me the baton in 8th right behind two other teams.
I sat on them for the first lap, it was a 61 but didn't feel very fast. The second lap I could feel the pace slow but didn't want to pass them. Fricking Connor. That one was a slow 68. Third lap I passed them and obeyed Papa Heaps command of going after a green team a little ahead. I can't remember when I passed them but looking at Mama Heaps pictures I think it was with about 300 to go. Was kicking pretty good but then on the last 100 I saw a shadow coming up behind me and said freak no you are not gonna pass me. Held off the green jersey that was coming back up. Split on the website was 4:18.9. Happy with it but it could have been faster if I hadn't sit behind the teams on the second lap.
Not sure what place we finished. Someone thought we got 5th after and I just said let's watch the board cuz I wasn't sure and didn't want to get my hopes up. But we got 5th! I was so hyped! 5th at a meet like Arcadia is pretty sweet so shout out to the guys for killing it. And top 5 got medals too. I got one last year from my 3200 but that was just an open one, this time it's the legit invitational medal.
Shout out to the Twins for both running hard in the 3200 and to Timp and Lone Peak for getting top 10 in the 4x16 which is sick to have 3 Utah county teams in the top 10.
Everyone can go like my pick on insta, and also notice that Squally Canada (who plays for BYU and has caption credit for the first part of the pic) commented on it lol
