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

I was really late getting to campus today. I had little time to do knee rehab, then got in 2 miles on the treadmill before switching over to the bike to get just 30 minutes total. Class all day the rest of the day.

Workout at the oval today.  I did a few minutes on the bike before joining the group in the warmup on the track.  I did threshold 800s with the freshman + Dakota.  For recovery we jogged the 80ish meters from the finish line back to the 800 start.  My times were 3:03, 2:58, 3:05, 3:03, 3:00, 2:58, 2:57.  Times fluctuated as we switched leaders on each rep.  My knee felt fine, it hurt a bit on the 4th and 5th ones but after Mack's suggestion to take the curves wide it wasn't so bad.  I cooled down 5 minutes on the track and then biked.

Another workout day at the oval.  I did a few minutes warmup on the bike before joining the running group.  This time we were doing 300s until failure.  We were supposed to hit about 62-63 for each of them, and not take more than 70 seconds recovery, which meant we had to fast jog over to the start each time.  Times were 63, 62, 60, 61, 62, 61, 62, 61, 63, 61.  Surprised that we made 10 all on pace, Kep had us do a recovery lap before doing the next set.  This time he said we would be doing less, so that was something to look forward to.  This time we hit 62, 61, 61, 62, 62, 62.  The recoveries got a little longer on each rep, so we just did 6.  This time I cooled down just on the track to get to 8 miles total.  That's the most miles I've had in one run in a while, so I'm pretty happy about that!

Today was a half run half cross train day.  I ran out 2 miles on Foothill and back.  Then I biked.

Today was another mixed running and cross training day, but I was able to do 8 miles of running so that was awesome.  The team started out on Foothill towards Wasatch.  Some of the group wanted to run through the golf course, and some wanted to go to 1300s, so we split.  I was in the golf course group.  Having the hill spread out over the distance up is so much nicer than taking it straight on!  We went along Wasatch and then made it to Thunderbird, where we cut down to Foothill and kept going towards the trail over the freeway.  A little ways onto the trail I hit 4 miles, and was glad to turn around since it was snowy and hard to run on.  Also this affected my pace.  On the way back I ran with Nikki and some of the freshman, but they went down 13th.  I went through the golf course again, but because I made a stop at the tennis place bathrooms I wasn't on Foothill by the time Nikki and crew ran by.  But I ran on the north side of the street and rejoined up with them after they crossed Foothill.  Finished with some biking to get rid of the knee pain that had flared up.
