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!!

Today we ran to Sugarhouse.  Each person did a different number of outside laps, based on how in shape they are.  I did 3 laps on the outside.  On the third I took a quick stop at Highland.  My avg. pace up to that point was 7:00.  Then I finished my lap and ran back to school along 1500e and then down 900s and then doing a lap around the block to make it a full 10.  My final average ended up being 7:08.  Then I did my crunches, pushups, and arm swings.

Today we did a speed workout.  We started with running to the track and then 2 laps (to the track from school is probably a half mile).  Then we did 4 laps speedchanges with a lap recovery.  Then we did a mile; I hit 6:09.  Then 2 laps recovery.  Then an 800 in 2:50, 2 laps recovery, another 800 in 2:48 with 1 lap recovery.  Then four 400s with equal recovery, my times were 1:19, 1:23, 1:20, 1:20.  Then back to the school for cooldown.  I was happy that I was able to hit the times I did today, seeing as its been a long time since I've done a speedworkout...

Today we started with conditioning.  We did sets of 1 minute ons one minute offs for the following: planks, wall sits, leg lifts.  On the last leg lift I held it for the whole minute (no dropping to the ground for a second)!  I was shaking by the end, but that was the first time I did that!  Then we did squats with the bar, then in the hall lunges, toes, butt kicks, high knees, skips, and frog jumps.  Then we ran to Shriner's.  We ran in a group.  It was a nice recovery run.

Today we just ran to Liberty Park and did a lap.  At the drinking fountain I waited for Abigail.  Then we went to Great Harvest and then waited to enjoy it up the hill after 1100e (we were only supposed to do 3 miles).

I started with a 2 mile warmup, out a mile and back, with Abigail and Bill.  Then Abigail and I changed our shoes and took Gu.  Then we did strides on the line.  When the race started I got right out into the front group, and I think there were only 6 or 7 or 8 guys in front of me.  The first half we were running into the wind, and I ended up drafting in a line with 3 guys and we would take turns leading.  At the turnaround I could see that I had a bit of a lead on the other girls.  The whole race there was never any girls trying to pass me.  My splits were at mile one 5:40, and mile two was at 11:36.  I got a new PR!  Afterwards I did a 4 mile cooldown, out 2 miles and back, with Bill and Mel.  It was a great day and I'm very satisfied with my race because I was out late last night because we had a school dance and I didn't get to eat pasta.

In the evening I ran 2 miles at Sugarhouse with Bill.  I got a shake from iceberg previously and a little into mile 3 that slowed me down a bit... but I still got the 4 miles, so finished my weekly mileage :)
