Was still recovering from a week long flu that one of our cross country runners has been spreading throughout the team. I still wanted to do really good at this meet though considering that just about every high school runner in the state of Utah was running in it. Got in about of mile warm up, that consisted mostly of running around cheering on our teams runners. 

Once at the line my plan was to sprint as hard as I could so I wouldn't get boxed in. We were in a good spot that we just had to go straight to the funnel and not make any diagonals. The gun went off and I tried sprinting but was reminded of why I don't run anything less than the mile in track. I was horrible at sprinting and still ended up getting boxed in, bad. I one point I was running near almost walking speed as we all tried to squeeze in through the funnel just after the wide start. Kept going slow until about 600 meters into the race where I was able to go way to the side and kick up the pace, only I was not alone. Just about every other runner did what I did and I just got more clogged up. Finally at about 1 and half miles into the race I felt I was in the right pack with Zan and Sean, from MC and Nick from Sky view. Sean Faded but Zan got ahead of me but I kept him close. Nick than made a move following his team mate Steve. I kept about 10 meters from Zan but started feeling weak probably due to the sprint I did at the beginning. I faded those last 800 meter but so did most everyone around me. Hunter and Tanner from Box Elder both passed me pretty quick as they seemed to have a strong kick. I kinda just cruised to the finish not having lost most of my motivation.

I'm pretty happy with my time but I knew I could have been at a much better placing had I not died at the end. The two Box Elder Kids that passed me the last 600 meters got just 10 seconds faster than me but about 11 places lower. Oh well, this week we have a dual meet against Sky View and I'm really excited to race with fast team like them.
