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 since there was a light layer of snow on the ground I figured the air was clean, so I got on my warm running clothes and went for a run.  I ran out to the cemetery on 3300s on the route that I always run.  My legs were feeling kinda tired by the end but I don't think it made me slow down.

Today we started with some stepups.  Then we did 2 sets of the circuit.  Then we ran to Liberty Park for a little bit of speed.  It was a great day, sunny and the whole valley was visible.  Using the marked lines and dots, we did 800s with equal recovery.  I did 4 with Bill.  Our times were between 2:54 and 2:59.  Then we ran back up to the school and did a lap around the block to get up to 7.

Today we started in the weight room with wall sits, arm swings, leg lifts, and squats.  Then outside we ran along 1300e to 2100s and up to 1900e and across to Sunnyside and down.  Then it was a lap around a block near the school to get it to 6.  My average pace was 7:16.

Today we did conditioning and then we went out for a run.  We ran up Sunnyside to Foothill and down into 500s to 1300s.  Then back to school.  Took it easy today in preparation for the 2 mile this weekend.

Today I ran with Amanda.  I let her use my garmin since she was going for a longer run.  I was only supposed to do 2 miles today so I ran out a mile (to 500s, and into the cemetery a little bit) and back.  Then I did my crunches and pushups.

Today I started with about a 2 and a half mile warmup with Abigail, Bill, Jamal, and Taylor.  Then Abigail and I went to the bull pen.  I changed shoes and took a Gu.  I was priveleged to wear bib number 2.  There were 2 heats.  Going out I hit just the right pace that Bill wanted me to, about 41 seconds a lap.  I was able to steadily maintain that pace.  Eventually Kelsey (from Boxelder) and I pulled away from the pack and I was running right with her for much of the race.  I began to lose speed though, and she got distance on me.  I didn't start my kick as soon as I should have, but I finished 8 seconds in front of the girl behind me.  I finished 2 seconds behind Kelsey, hitting a PR and a state qualifying time for the 3200!!! (but since it was indoor it doesn't count, so I just need to run it at an outdoor invite this season).

Afterwards I did about a mile and a half cooldown in the track while I cheered for Abigail, Jamal, and Taylor.

When I got home I went for an easy 3 mile run.  I ran along 1500e to 900s and up to 2100e and over to 1300s and down.  I felt strong today :)
