He’s done just that. Odegard won the Class 3A state race with a time of 15 minutes, 56 seconds, beating the second-place finisher by 15 seconds. Then in this season’s first meet, he won the Red Rock Invitational Sunset Meet, beating runners from traditional powers like Arbor View, Clark and Centennial.
Thenlastweekendhe finished second at the Labor Day Classic, trailing only Milton Amezcua from Green Valley.
“I wasn’t really expecting to go out and win it like I did,” Odegard said of his 11-second margin of victory in the Red Rock Invitational. “It was good solid win right off the bat and a good statement for what I’ve done over the summer.”
Odegard’ssummer consisted of a brutal training regimen that included running nearly 200 miles in July alone. As the season got closer, he started strength training and has put a focus on hydration.
“After winning the state championship, I think he hasadrivetorepeatthis year so I think that’s really motivated him,” his coach, Matt Kolodzieczyk, said. “Every morning, 6 a.m. putting miles in.”
Another point of pride is the school and city Odegard represents. Pahrump is a city Justin Emerson

The problem with running in the small-schools division is that Odegard’s state-meetwinning time would have placed ninth in the Class 4A race, though still second among Southern Nevada runners.
Part of it is the competition. Not many Class 3A racers can keep up with Odegard, allowing him to kick it into cruise control and not put up his best times at region or state meets. He won’t be racing Amezcua or Arbor View’s Keith Williams or Clark’s Liam Jones at state, but running against them now means he might put up his best times when he has the best in Southern Nevada pushing him.
“When I get to race those kinds of guys down here and prepare for that, I feel like it really benefits me,” Odegard said.
Then he chuckled.
“But it definitely doesn’t bum me out that I don’t get to race against them ar state.”
