Hi, I am Jake Dyer, age 11, and a I am currently a 5^th grade student at East Prairie School, in Tuscola, IL. I began running when I was eight years old and developed a passion for running and competing. I have ran various races from 400 meters to a 10K race. I enjoy the 5k the most and have ran 31 of these races so far. I have ran the last three years for a local youth running club qualifying for the Nationals the last three years and finishing in 12^th place as a career best. I am joining the CU Running club to help further my running techniques and understand the science of this sport. With their help, I hope to reach a sub 19 minute 5k by the age of 12 and to finish in the Top 20 in future Youth National Championships.
