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

Today after rehab I ran 11th Avenue with the team. The starting group was me, Alyssa, Becky, Jessica, Andrea, Lauren, Dana, and Kenzie. I went ahead with Alyssa and Becky, but they were pushing the pace so I dropped back and was by myself for a while. We ran City Creek all the way to the Capitol, then I caught up to them at the light on Main Street. I ran with them until South Temple, then I ran back up to campus. Afterwards I did a 15 minute ice bath up to my knees.

Today we had a workout at the oval.  We warmed up 2 miles outside and then did our strides and drills on the track.  The long distance workout was 12 500s with 1:45 rest.  The first 6 were supposed to be at 5k pace (1:20), then the next 5 at 3k pace (1:18), and the last one at mile pace (~1:15).  I ran with Bekah for the first 6 and we traded inside and outside of the lane so they went by fast.  My splits were 1:43, 1:41, 1:40, 1:40, 1:40, 1:40.  Then AuraLea joined us.  My times were 1:37, 1:38, 1:37, 1:36, 1:37.  Just AuraLea did the last one with me, I came through the 400 at 1:14 and finished in 1:34.  I cooled down 2 miles outside and then stretched before going back to campus.  There I did my rehab and then iced.  My ankle doesn't hurt anymore, I even wore my spikes today.  The tape I have had has given me a few blisters on the back of my ankle, but they aren't that bad.  I think I'm getting closer to running with no tape!

Today we did another run that was not Trax...  We are trying to come up with a code name for it, without being too obvious that it is just Trax.  But somehow we all are a bit obvious in the training room when we are about to leave... We ran to 11th and then down into City Creek, some of the girls turned to run Memory Grove, I ran all the way to the Capitol with AuraLea, Jessica, and Lauren, and was with them until South Temple.  I ran back to campus to finish with 9.  Got a much needed massage afterwards.

Today we were fortunate enough to have practice at Liberty instead of going to the oval! We warmed up there from the 900e Trax station and then did our strides and drills. The workout was a 6k threshold and then four 30 second strides. I started the threshold with Bekah; we started behind the other girls so that we could follow them for part of it. My goal was just over 6 minute pace. At the mile I was 6:07, 12:04 at 2 miles, and didn't get my other splits. Bekah and I passed Lauren and Jessica about halfway through, then Bekah pulled ahead so I finished on my own. Total time was 22:58. After strides I ran back to campus for cooldown.

This morning I met Jesse at the Capitol and ran City Creek to 11th Avenue and then turned around and finished down Memory Grove for 3 miles.

In the afternoon I did my rehab and started my run with Becky.  We did the fruit loop and then went through the golf course (I didn't have my ankle taped today, so running on the snow/ice was a bit scary!).  She turned early on Wasatch, I kept going to Thunderbird and then cut down to Foothill to go back to campus.  13 minute ice bath afterwards.  My ankle felt fine without tape, just at the beginning the side of my foot was hurting, but it went away after being on Wasatch for a while.

I did a 10 mile loop this morning past Sugarhouse onto the streets for the cemetery loop route over to 3300s.  Then I ran up to 20th east and south a little bit before turning around and running back on 20th east and then down to 1700e to 2100s back up to 1900e and then over to Harrison and to my street to finish with 10.  My foot hurt for a bit but I didn't feel it the last half of the run.
