During the winter months, it seems the wind, snow, and bitter cold is enough to stop anyone from running.
However, this is simply not an option for Nick Hindes. The senior distance runner satisfies his desire to run by competing in indoor track.
Nick began running his junior year. For the year, he ran his races with a bandana around his head. Though Nick no longer continues this tradition, there are other things that he now does to prepare for his race. He has a certain, specific way of stretching out, and always prays before he competes.
With this school year being his last opportunity to compete in high school sports, Nick hopes to break the 4:50 mile in his last few months as a Payson Lion. He is looking to accomplish this by being a dedicated member of the indoor track team.
“I love it,” Nick said. “I feel like I’m a part of the team and that I’m needed.”
Nick Hindes is always reaching new speeds!
