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!! 

 

Short-Term Running Goals:

 Run a 5k in under 18 minutes

Win state in the 1600 and 3200

Place in the top 5 at state in the 1600

We did conditioning today before our run.  We did leg lifts, planks, wall sits, and sqauts.  Then we went in the hall and did sets over a set distance of lunges, strides, lunges, strides, then the same pattern but with high skips, little skips, and to walks.  Then we did step ups.  Then we ran in the bad air outside down to Liberty Park where we did three 800s where we pushed the pace not quite to race pace with equal recoveries.  Then we ran back to the school.  My lungs hurt.

Today I did 4 miles on treadmill.  I wanted to hit 5 but I had to go change for duel in the pool.  It was our swim team's last home meet so a fun tradition they have is having other sports teams put together relays of 4 or 8 people and they each swim a length.  It was fun :)

Today we did conditioning in the weight room.  We did leg lifts, planks, wall sits, arm swings, squats, lunges, frog jumps, and toes.  Then we went on an easy run.  I stayed with Maria and Abigail.  That was about 2 and a quarter.  Then I did a mile warmup with Bill and we went to the cemetery on 500s and did 5 1 minute on 1 minute off.  The outside loop is about .92 mile.  Then we ran back to the school and did some parking lot laps to get up to 7 miles.

Today we did step ups, planks, arm swings, and some triceps dips.  Then we did 2 sets of the circuit with 30 second sets of popcorn, jumping jacks, squats, and mountain climbers.  They were tough but they weren't as bad the first times I ever did them.  Then we went for a run.  I ran with Bre, we went to the cemetary and did an outer loop.

Ran to the cemetery and did a loop and then back to the school.  I ran all the way to 500s for the entrance so it was an extra quarter mile.

Started with about a half mile warmup with Abigail before we had to go to the bullpen and get in our heats.  She was in the second one.  I continued to run a little bit while I waited for my heat to have to go to the line.  I ran about another half mile, then I put on my spikes.  Then I had a Gu.  Then we went to the line.  I had number 6 so I started in lane 3.  Going out I got boxed in and I stayed behind a pack the first lap (it was 5 laps a mile).  So, coming to the end of the first lap I went around the pack in the outside lane and passed them all.  During half of the second lap a girl from Davis hung with me, but I passed her.  During the third I put distance on everyone and then I held on the 5th lap to win.  The Davis girl finished just .56 of a second behind me.  I threw up afterwards.  And I got a T-Shirt :)

When I got back to Salt Lake I went for a run on the Shoreline trail, 5.25 miles.  I went out to the road that leads to the fence and back.  The trail was packed with snow and only a little mud in some areas.  On one of the downhill sloped areas it was completely iced over and I fell on my butt and slid down.  Then I just stood up and kept going.  That was a fun cooldown run.
