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!!

Jesse and I had a funeral to attend today so I missed practice with the team. In the morning I went running at the oval. My knee didn't start hurting until mile 3, but not really bad until mile 4. I made it to 6 and then called it. I think it hurt later today because it was flat and because I had the day off yesterday.

Today I decided to stay on campus for my run to see if it hurt less on the flat part. It was ok except coming down from the track to the hper and huntsman center area. I didn't have time to cross train right after because we had a team meeting, and then because of class I skipped weights so I could cross train in that time.

Today I was supposed to try and do half and half on alter G and running. I started with 4 on the alter g. I started at 85% but had to keep backing off because of pain. Running right after felt so heavy! But I also felt so drained because my legs sweat a lot in the bubble. I made it a mile and a half on the real treadmill and then did 5 miles of biking. I don't ever want to alter g again... Unless they come up with a way to not make it extremely hot on your legs.

Today was another half run half cross train day. I started with 30 minutes on the bike and then bundled up to go run at Liberty.  The team was supposed to do the first lap at the park and then were allowed to leave.  So for the first lap and a half I was with the team and then just with Nikki and Giselle, since they had to stay at the park too.  Having to go around the snow and ice patches was rough, but on the south and west ends of the park it was not bad.  I did 4 laps plus a little extra to finish with 6 miles total.  Then I caught a ride with Giselle back up to the training room where I did my rehab, and another 30 minutes of biking.  So much volumeeeeee.  But at least I don't have to run again until Monday!
