My name is Carson Horspool and I like to party. I'm a Senior at Pine View High School in St. George Utah. Captain of the Cross Country team.

Ran the state course. Was super good and after yesterday's race, I am way pumped for state this year. I ran a little extra at the end and just finished the course up until the blocked off gate and visualized finishing the race. Ryan Raff ended up beating me on the track, but I held off Caleb and Jensen. Not really sure where Bryson and Alex were... oops. But it was super awesome and I got the chills and I'm so ready to rek.

It's great that you've had this realization, you truly need to have the confidence that you can win. You're definitely a big dog, the trick is to run your best race. You were feeling great at Murray, and there's no reason you can't feel great at other races, but you also have to take every race as it comes.

Running the way you did and moving up through the pack ensures that you will have your best race. And in running your best race there's no doubt that you will win races. I'd just caution you that going out with the Big Dogs means also risking burning out with the Big Dogs. You are a Big Dog, but you have to be your own racer, and race your best.
