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

This morning after setting up flags and eating breakfast I went for my run.  I ran along 1500e to 2100s, then up to 1700e and then I continued south to about 2700s and then went up a few streets and turned back north on one of them.  When I got back to 2100s on 1700e I stayed up on 1700e to 1700s and then turned down.  When I got back to my house I had to add a quarter so I did that on 1400e.

Today I went for a run on my own after I got back from clinicals.  I was kind of tired and just felt like taking another easy day.  I ran from my house down to 1300e, then took that all the way to South Temple and then turned and went up Virginia Street.  I took that up to 11th Avenue, and stayed on that road all the way up City Creek to about where the road splits.  I stretched for a minute and then went back the same way.  It was a nice run :)

Today for practice after the track warmups I was in charge!  For about a minute, I decided that we were going to do 8 miles.  We ran down to Liberty Park and did laps around the perimeter going clockwise.  I ran with Bill and Ben the whole way.  We did I think 3 laps around the perimeter and then for the last part we ran to the drinking fountain before leaving to go back up to the school.  Then we did our crunches, pushups, and arm swings.

Today as part of the track warmup we did team strides out in the field, we each had to do 6.  My team dominated!  And when we finished we all did 25 pushups.  Then for the distance run we ran along 1300e to Sugarhouse Park, doing a partial outer lap up to about Highland where we reached 3 miles so we turned and went back the same way.  Then we did our crunches, pushups, and arm swings as we waited for Abigail to get back so that we could eat the cupcakes we brought in celebration of her birthday!!!  Happy Sweet 16 Abigail!!!!! =)

This morning I enjoyed my day off school with a morning run after getting to sleep in and eat breakfast :)  I ran from my house up 1300s to Foothill, then I went north all the way along the curve to Guardsman, and then I followed the Shriner's route.  I got up onto 11th Avenue for the turnaround.  I turned around at a little after 5 miles because I had done a lap around my block at the start because I decided I wanted to go in shorts instead of  tights.  It was a very nice day :)  I went back the same way I had come :)  Then I did my pusups, crunches, and arm swings before getting weights and going outside for lunges, squats, calf raises, and the other things I can't remember the name of.

This afternoon I went for another 10 miler after I finished clinicals.  I ran along 1500e to Sunnyside, and then went up above the zoo and then along Wasatch Drive to Thunderbird, then on Foothill up to the flagpole.  I went back along Foothill to Sunnyside, then on Guardsman I cute over and down to 1500e, then had to add a few blocks out and back when I got to my house.  Then I did my crunches, pushups, arm swings, weighted lunges, squats, calf raises, and the other drill.  Then I finished off with a nice 10 minute ice bath :)
