I’ve learned so much this year, and I’m proud of how far I’ve come. This season’s results have been better than I ever expected. I knew I had the strength and ability, but after everything I went through in the 14 months leading up to the season, I never imagined I’d be where I am today.

Getting here took hard work, patience, and determination along with countless hours in the weight room and training in the high elevation in the Rocky Mountains with my Dad @harlemchildnyc All of it helped me push through the difficult days when I didn’t feel like showing up. But Dad, always pushed me to get out there.

Today’s results meant a lot. They reminded me that the effort was worth it and lit an even bigger 🔥🔥🔥 in me to keep pushing. I don’t just want to be out there; I want to be out front. I have one major goal in mind before I graduate, that’ll come later until then I’m ready to keep working towards it. I needed this experience today. In the meantime, I’ll carry today experience with me as I chase my goals and work to break 17 minutes before the season ends.

I’m hungry, I’m determined, and I’m ready! 🏆🏃🏾‍♂️💨

Tough race. Tough grass. Still doing what I LOVE! 🏃‍♂️🔥
Small race, big lessons! Today challenged me and showed me what I need to work on. Every race is another chance to learn, grow, and come back stronger.

Proud to represent SkyView HS XC! Huge shoutout to my teammate Julio, who stayed with me the entire race. He’s gotten SO fast this year, and I’m proud to run alongside him! 🙌🏾🔥🔥 my entire team PR’d today. We worked so hard and today was the day we needed to experience.

Much love to Coach Kristina and @coachtyrenking for pushing us hard and helping us keep getting better. Grateful for this team and everyone in our corner! 🙌🏾

🏅 6th overall | 2nd Team in League

This spring, I wasn’t sure I’d be able to run because of my health condition. Getting back hasn’t been easy, but with prayer, support, and hard work, I’ve made progress all cross-country season. 🖤 Grateful for a second chance.

Tomorrow morning, I’ll compete in my FIRST high school Cross Country League Championship as a Freshman! 😬
I have a great chance to become a league champion, with my consistent times and training with my team and I’m excited for the opportunity. I’m ready to trust my training, give it everything I have, and run with confidence! 🏆🔥

Thank you Jeff Armstrong @jtweez010 for coming to visit me in hospital that meant a lot. To Peter Downing-@pwdowningco from @sufferbetter for always checking on me. Bro @gjulian4 - I need my sword 🗡️ Back Sir! 😉
To my brothers at @blackmenrundenver my home chapter, and the @blackmenrun brothers nationwide that called Dad to check on my health progress. To Mom, Dad, and all my family; auntie @mhow262 for always investing in my running journey - Thank you so much everyone! 🙏🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
Lastly, thank you for your prayers, love, and belief in me. You’ve all helped me get where I am today. 🙏🏾💜🏃🏾💨💨

Thanks to awesome products by @currex.insoles @vfuel @runspeedland @sufferbetter & so comfortable never slip socks by @jogology I’ll never run in another sock again.

Lastly, Big thanks to my coaches, Ty @coachtyrenking & Christina. You guys pushed me hard to get here. 🙌🏾🙌🏾

A special thank-you to my dad, @harlemchildnyc, for believing in me when I didn’t believe in myself and pushing, pushing, and pushing me to keep going (so annoying at first) but I get it now, Dad. You believe in me even when I felt my training wasn’t good enough. Dad, your words have stayed with me: “It’s not about being good enough; it’s about getting better,” and I’m grateful you never gave up on me. 🖤🙏🏾🥹🥹🥲

Keep me lifted in prayer as I step up to that starting line. Let’s GO, SkyView XC! 🏃🏾💨💨 Reppin BMR!
Jahmeer, aka Tha Black Prince 🦅🪶
@thedreamteambmr & @blackmenrun FOREVER! 🙏🏾✊🏾

The Sawatch Ascent 50k is one of the toughest races I’ve ever done so far. During the race I was wishing I had something to help me get up those climbs like some of the runners with trekking poles because that elevation is no joke. Thankfully around mile 7-8 I found a hiking stick that was just the perfect height. It kept me going and even on the times I had to run downhill it saved me quite a bit of times from falling. That stability was much needed even going down because there was a lot of technical spots on the trail. Also in the second clip that hill we ran down I knew we had to run back up at the very end of the race and it was gonna be painful so the hiking stick came in clutch especially for the last part to help me get up and push. It was brutal but it was equally as beautiful. I couldn’t help but take so many pictures and videos of the landscape. It was truly amazing. Going up to the highest point though had me feeling like I was on a pilgrimage especially with the hiking stick. It was a spiritual experience for me for sure. I loved every moment and am grateful for everyone who came to volunteer both days at the races. They were all so kind and willing to help out with whatever you needed. Shoutout to every runner for showing up and showing out. Shoutout to the bros @jtweez010 @henry.isom. and @tacocolorado for doing the 50/50. All you guys made it such a dope event. I’m also grateful for @vfuel because they kept me fueled especially with their endurance electrolyte mix I drank before my races and during. I felt strong with no stomach issues at all. Definitely recommend for an ultra. It was awesome to see all the runners from all over putting in the work, enjoying the moment together. I’m so thankful for @freestoneendurance. I seriously would have never been able to be apart of this great event without you all. Thank you. I would love to come back and know I’d be even stronger next year.

After a year filled with uncertainty, setbacks, and a lot of learning, I finally found myself standing on the start line of the Skyrunning World Championship in La Gomera.

The Skyrunning World Championship in La Gomera had been on my mind for a long time. A new island, new trails, new challenges, and the opportunity to race against some of the best mountain runners in the world. I knew it was going to push me in ways I hadn’t experienced before, and that was a big part of what made me so excited for it.

The road to La Gomera was anything but straightforward. I spent much of the season trying to work through what I thought was an injury in my calf, without really knowing what was going on. After months of managing it, I finally got a diagnosis in June: chronic exertional compartment syndrome.

After getting the diagnosis, I had two options: modify my activity and learn to deal with the pain, or have selective surgery to release the four compartments in my leg. Neither option was particularly appealing, but I knew I wanted to keep racing and see what I could do.

So, I started training back up in June with just three months to build toward the World Championships. Three months to rebuild my fitness, regain confidence in my body, and prepare for one of the biggest races of the year. It wasn’t the ideal build-up, but I was grateful to finally have some direction and a chance to work toward the start line.

There were plenty of questions leading into La Gomera about how my body would respond and whether I could actually put together the race I knew I was capable of.

Was it perfect? Not by any means.
But I’m incredibly proud of how I showed up.
I finished in 7:20, 13th overall and first American 🇺🇸.

There were moments when things went exactly as planned, moments when they absolutely did not, and plenty of time spent reminding myself to stay present, trust the work, and keep moving forward. (Continued in comments)
