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

Today at track we started with 2 laps warmup and then stretches with the whole team.  Then for distance our warmup was supposed to be 8 Js.  I did 6, then I joined the rest of the group who were one 400 ahead of me.  We did twelve 400s with 90 seconds recovery.  It was a tough workout, but it feels so good to be finished.  Bill told me to try and hit 1:30 on them.  My times were 1:26, 1:26, 1:26, 1:25, 1:22, 1:22, 1:20, 1:22, 1:25, 1:25, 1:26, 1:26.  I'm glad that I hit faster than I was supposed to and progessively worked to faster times and then when I tired out stayed consistent with my first times.  Afterwards did 2 laps cooldown... then I pulled a sliver out of my foot, I had run the whole workout with it in!  Then I iced my shins.  It was a good day :)

I started with a mile and a half warmup and then a mile of speed changes.  Then I changed to my spikes.  I did the 800, I was in second the first 100 meters but I went ahead and stayed ahead.  I think I PR'd (though I think I have a faster 800 in a mile split from last season).  Then I ran 2 miles in between that and the 3200.  I was the first girl in that as well, my time was 13:00.

I did a mile warmup then a mile speedchanges.  Then I changed to my spikes and did a speedworkout.  We started with ten 200s with about 40 seconds recovery.  Then I changed back to my trainers, did a lap recovery, and then did a 400, a 200, a 400, and another 200.  My 200s were mostly 38s, 37s were my best.  On the 400s I got 1:31, and then a 1:27.  Then I did a mile cooldown.

Today we did 2 laps at the track and stretching, and then the people that are running in the invitational tomorrow went to Sunnyside Park.  We did a lap there and then 8 strides.  Then back to the track.  I'm very sore from Wednesday, but I'm hoping for a good race  tomorrow.

Amanda and I did about a mile and a half warmup, then I did about 2 more laps on the track.  Then I did about 2 laps of speedchanges and changed to my spikes.  It was pouring by the time the race started, but it was so much fun.  I was soaked by the end, and I loved it!  I was boxed in at the beginning of the race, and unfortunately to get around it I had to go around the outside to get up to where I though I should be.  I took 3rd and ran there most of the time, drafting behind the second person, but then I fell behind and did a few laps without a drafter, until I was passed.  I stayed with the person who had passed me and continued to draft.  I finished 4th because I didn't get my kick in until about the last 100 meters.  It felt so good to be done.
