2009 Season & Results
The fundraiser shirts are finally here! As you can see from the shirt, we are traveling to 10 states & 10,000 miles! All proceeds will go to help Logan get to the Nationals at his top peak condition!
We decided to go with whats called a Vapor shirt over a cotton shirt. The Vapor shirts will keep you cool when its hot, and warmer when its chilly. They are bacteria and stain resistant, PLUS they don’t need ironing! These shirts cost $5 more a shirt to make, but they are definitely worth it!
If you look close at the shirt, the biker is actually Logan! It’s from the picture above of him riding his bike! Click here to GET THE SHIRT!
A good friend of mine, Scott Mattson, designed the logo on the shirt! He did an awesome job. He is a graphics designer and artist, and you can see more of his work on his website: http://www.mstudioonline.com/
It’s a new year, and below are the tentative events that I am looking to run. I am definitely going to USAT Nationals in Colorado Springs August 8th! There are a lot of fast kids out there, so I have my work cut out for me!

I did OK in this event. My teammate Stephan did awesome and smoked the run course! I lost my water bottle after about 2 miles, and I got thirsty! My Dad tracked me down on the course, and gave me some water to finish up. I didn’t have the time I wanted, but I had a great time!
This is a picture of my good friend Stephan and myself. He can run VERY fast!!
