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!!

Workout on the track this morning.  This time I wanted something that would be good for 3k prep.  I warmed up 2 miles and then did the routine strides and drills.  I did a 200 first to get a feel for pace, and then started the workout.  It was 4 sets of 2x500, with 90 seconds rest the first time and 10 seconds less each time, with 4 minutes between sets.  Kep said to try and hit 82-83 for the 400 split.  My times were 1:45 for the first set, 1:44 for the second set, 1:42 and 1:44 for the third set, and 1:42 and 1:45 for the last set.  The wind was awful on the second 100 of each rep, but having that resistance helped me focus on trying to keep a pace rather than maintain the effort because I really had to focus on not slowing down into the wind.  Cooled down 2 miles to get to 8 total for the day.

Today I went running with Nikki and Jessica. We did fruit loops and then went through the golf course to 1300s, and back to campus along Foothill. I added on at the end, to 11th Avenue and back.

This afternoon I did a workout at Liberty park. I warmed up 2 miles and then did strides and drills. The workout was threshold miles with 1 minute rest. Kep said 3 or 4, so I planned on 3 because I wasn't feeling too confident after last week's threshold. My first one was 6:30, the second 6:26, and when I hit the third in 6:23 I decided I could do 4 and hit 6:17. I guess I warmed up along the way

My left hip was hurting a little bit but that went away as I got going as well. Cooled down to finish with 8 total.

Today I went running on the Jordan river trail. I originally intended to do 8, but at 2.5 I didn't feel like fighting the wind anymore and my hip was hurting so I turned around.
