NorCal product set to toe the line for the Bruins following an elite prep career at Jesuit High School … Most recently ran a lifetime-best 3200m time of 8:46.32 at the 2021 Brooks PR Invitational, good for third place overall at the meet … The monster performance at Brooks PR capped a 2021 season that saw him earn 11 individual victories, including a double in the 1600m (4:09.95) and 3200m (8:56.57) at the Dublin Distance Fiesta … Also notched a PR of 4:07.81 against Delta High School earlier in the season … Won all seven of his cross country races in the shortened 2020-21 season, including a victory against Pleasant Grove that saw him run a 5,000m PR of 14:55.0 … As a junior in 2019, became the CIF-SJS XC champion with a time of 16:21.0 on the 5k course … Finished no lower than seventh overall in cross country that season.
