In my freshmen year, I lettered in both track and cross country. I also got the Rookie of the Year Award in cross country, and the Freshmen of the Year Award in track. At regions for XC I was 7th. At state I was 65th. In track at regions I placed 3rd in the mile and 2nd in the 2 mile. At state I was 17th in the mile and 13th in the 2 mile.

Sophomore year I was a cross country captain and I lettered again. I was 3rd at regions and 12th at state. At track regions I was 3rd in the mile and the 2 mile. I also anchored the winning medley relay team.

Junior year I got a stress fracture about a month before the cross country season started, but made a great comeback with a 2nd place finish at regions. At state I placed 6th, and I broke 19 minutes for the second time in my racing history. Team captain again. In track I shattered my old PRs and was doing well until I got a stress reaction. After 3 weeks off I built my strength back up and performed well at state, earning 4th in the 1600 and 5th in the 3200. After that, I was invited to the Great Southwest Track Meet in Albuquerque, where I took 5th.

My senior year in cross country I was a captain again, this time with Amanda and Natalie. This season I was injury free so I got to run competitively at invites. At state I took 3rd. At Footlocker Western Regionals I outkicked a girl on the track to finish 10th, which qualified me for nationals the next weekend. I beat both of the girls who had beat me at state in that race. At nationals I took 22nd and beat 6 of the girls who had beat me at regionals. Going into the outdoor season the first Invitational I attended was the Davis Super Meet where I qualified for state in the 1600 and the 3200, and I broke the meet record for the 3200 in an 11:01.29, the previous record was an 11:17. I had a strong finish to my senior season and finally claimed a state title. I ran the fastest 1600 and 3200 at state for any division, claiming the double crown in those events, and earning the athlete of the year award :)

Now in college, I run for the University of Utah. I lettered my freshman season of cross country, and made it to regionals in the 5k in track.

Sophomore year I improved in cross country. In track I raced the 1500, 5k, 800, 10k, and the mile of the DMR before repeating the 5k at conference and then the 10k at regionals. Placed 28th behind a lot of seniors... so nationals next year!!

Total Distance

8.70

I had a good run this morning. I was the first female again :) So I am happy about that. I don't remember what my time was though. I was hoping to get a new PR but the course was actually longer than a 10k. I had planned to do about a 2 mile warmup, but when I was warming up just around a few of the streets near the park where the race was at, I came back to the park to find that it was empty. The start wa just across the street from the park. I had to hurry and pull off my sweats and I kept running over to the start line. t started right as I got there, so I didn't get to stop running before going. I didn't get to get up very close to the line either. But I didn't have too difficult a time getting up to the front. Eventually there was few people I could see in front of me, and then I decided to try and pass 10 people. As I was passing people 3 and 4, one of which was a boy who I think looked about 12, he started fighting me off, and he kept my pace for a while. I thought that was interesting, but it was cool to actually have some competition. after a while I sped up and brok ahead of him, but he was close behind for the rest of the race. There was some distance between me and the person ahead of me, but I was able to figure out my spot in the race from watching people coming from the turnaround point. My cousin-in-law was in the lead, and there were 2 guys not a long distance behind him (he did win overall though). After the 3 leaders was my brother, and then another guy, and then I reached the turnaround. As I headed back down the road some of the other people racing cheered for me. There were a few points where some people had lined up to cheer with some nice cameras, and I was confuse at first, but it didn't take me long to realize it must be the family of the 12 year old boy behind me. At the end of the race, I didn't pass anymore people, and nobody passed me. After the race we went back to our campsite we had stayed at to put our stuff away before we went to the awards ceremony. There was also a 1/2 marathon and a marathon so the awards were going to be after the other events were done. So we went back later, and I got a nice award. It is one of my most interesting, with a lake and some bears by it. I was so tired after the race. I think I'm going to go take a nap now, and then I think I'll go running later.

In the evening I went running with my little sister. We were going to go from our house to Sugarhouse Park and do some laps, but she was too tired so we went a few blocks and then went back home, so it was only 1 mile.

You are awesome, stay consistant in your training. Don't try to accomplish everything in to short of a time. You are going to have a great season and are a big part of our rebuilding. When you can always try to find someone to run with. Even if they are a little slower you can take easy days. Mix it up and maybe start with them, after you are warmed up push the next part of the run and then run back to them for your cool down. It will keep things fun and your helping another runner get to their goals. We are starting this week as a team so you will be able to help motivate others with the great success you are having. Have fun!!!
