I’m now ranked higher in the world in the 1500m than I was ranked in the East region for D1 NCAA my senior year of college. Life is strange.

Hey guys! Thank you for all the support! Unfortunately the Holtamania couldn’t get it done today! Felt great, but didn’t quite have the tactics. Thank you to @CitiusMag and everyone who supported me! You guys made this the most special week of my life!

I only started running for Empire Elite because Coach Tom Nohilly slid in my Strava DM’s and the commute to practice was short. I started off in the fall of 2020 as one of the worse runners on the team and less than two years later I’m ranked top ten in the 1500m in the USA!

Dang didn’t get into the USATF 5k championships on November 5th in New York City. I guess being 5th best 1500/miler in the United States isn’t enough. Oh well, I expect to dominate the Abott dash 5k the same day instead. Stuff like this motivates and makes me work harder 💪

Crazy to think that I’m invited to this year 5th Avenue Mile. I remember seeing the results years back and wondering how amazing it would be to be in this race. Three years ago I was wasn’t allowed in the b heat. Two years ago I barely got in the b heat. Now I’m in the fast one!

Ran at pre trails today in Eugene Oregon. Last time I ran there was seven years ago at junior nationals. I remember telling myself I’ll be here every year because of NCAA. Never made NCAA, but I never gave up! Those lows make the highs that much sweeter! I’m ready for the trials!

It’s so easy to give up on athletic goals post High School. But @_jacobsweet really wanted to break 5 minutes in the mile. Two years ago while working a full time job and no where near breaking 6 minutes. Jacob asked me to coach him to break 5 minutes. And today he did it!

Track and field has it’s highs and lows. One day you feel unstoppable and other days you’re overwhelmed. Got 10th at the sound running meet running 3:36.9. Was in second with 220 meters to go and then got whipped. Going for the standard again in two weeks at the Murphy classic!

@CoachSweeneyXC @TheRealMerb This is unfortunately true. My dad treats racing like foul shooting in basketball; repetition until success. After I graduated HS, my dad wanted to spend a whole day at track, to see if I could break 4 minutes. He was convinced that given enough attempts I would be a sub 4 miler.

Coach told me not to kick too early, because the course was misleading. I kick too early and realized I had 200 extra meters. Still got 2nd place in the open 5k at the abott dash. 14:20ish. Going to kick myself a lot for this performance.
