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 I ran to Sugarhouse Park, did 2 laps on the road, and came back.  My left hip hurt for the first half mile (probably from track) but it warmed up and didn't bother me after that.  It was a nice morning, bright and not too cold or hot.          5 miles

After school we did speedwork.  I was kind of late to start but I did a mile warmup then 2 laps of speedchanges with fast straights and then 2 laps with fast curves.  Then I joined the group for a 400, an 800, two more 400s, another 800, and then I did the 400 that I had missed.  We had a lap recovery after the 800s and about 100 meters recovery for the 400s.  Then a mile cooldown.       6 miles

My hips have been hurting all day from all of the running in circles yesterday. So today I went with Bre and Amanda for a run. We ran from the track up trough the U campus, only going by time. We went up above Legacy Bridge and got on the trail at Red Butte. We ran on the for a bit and then cut back down through U campus by the Des. News 10k course and Leopards 5k course. Then we ran through Sunnyside Park and back down to the track. There we did some strides.

I started with a mile and a half warmup and 2 laps of speedchanges.  I put on my spikes and did 2 more laps of speedchanges.  Then I ran the mile, I was third, second from East.  I think my time was 5:56.  Then I changed back to my trainers and did a 2 lap cooldown.     4

Later I did a 2 lap warmup for the 800 in the medley relay.  I'm not sure what the time was on that, but the East team took second.     1

I ran a lap with Amanda before the 3200 and then I ran it with her.  I was originally planning on drafting for her but it wasn't working so I ran with her.  My shoe came untied at about the third lap, so that was no fun, but it stayed on the whole time.     2.25

At the end of the meet, Bre, Kelsie, Amanda, and I did the 4x4.  It was just for fun, we were second.       .25

I probably forgot some of the laps, but I calculated them right after the meet when they were fresh in my head.  (I know I ended up with at least a 3 mile warmup so I don't know what I forgot)

Today I went with Amanda and Bre to Liberty Park, where we did intervals around the park in 800s.  We were supposed to do three laps, but I only did 2 before I started going back to the school.  My left shin was hurting again :(  the same shin getting injured 3 times in close sequence tells me that I'm doing something wrong.  I'm going to ice it tonight, and right after workout I got some new shoes.  Bill told me I would need some better pronation shoes.  I got some Mizunos to try, so I'll see how that goes tomorrow.

I started with 3 laps of warmup and 3 laps of speedchanges.  Then I did a 600, my time was 2:09.  Afterwards I did a cooldown of 2 miles around to block.  My new shoes were great, just my ankle was hurting a bit at first (probably because my pronation was really bad before).  After the workout I iced my shins, it felt good :)
