Heading over to the high school I felt pretty good. Warmed up 2 miles. My goal for the race was to state qualify. I didn't really care about just getting a pr. State qualifying is 9:36.95. So I needed to hit 72's. But the race went out super slow. I got out good and was right up in the front, come around and its a 72. Ugh. I was supposed to have a few seconds cushion after the first lap. Then our second lap is a 76. Ugh. After a few laps of this Josh Collins finally took the lead and upped the pace. After the first mile I was 4:54 which is six seconds too slow. After that I kind of gave up a little bit which I shouldn't have done cuz I ended up getting within almost a second and a half of state and thats not a lot, so I think I could have gotten it if I had kept telling myself I could still get it. Back to the race. So we pushed the middle laps cuz the slow start. I didn't see exactly what the clock said right as I hit the line with one lap to go, I just saw it at 8:24 when I still had some left. I kicked hard the last lap and caught a woods cross kid with 300 left and with 100 left I pulled up beside Koy from Timp and we were both going as hard as we could. I turned on the jets and beat him. My time was 9:38.64. 1.69 seconds off of state. So my last lap was a 64. If I keep that last lap but push one of the middle laps 1.69 seconds faster I would have got it. But its over and I'll just go qualify at Utah County. My achilles hurt after on my run so I iced it. Few hours later I got ready to run the medley, but we went out of the exchange zone on the first hand off.
