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 I went running with Jesse and Abigail in Bountiful.  We went on the temple trail, which is just across the street from the temple.  It goes up the canyon.  Not long into it, Abigail decided it wasn't the best for running (it wasn't) so she turned and went and ran on the road.  I kept going with Jesse, but he ended up way far ahead.  There were a lot of river crossings.  Finally we made it to the end, and it was about 1.6 miles... We ran back and then added on a little bit on the road to make it to 4.  Jesse was just a little bit ahead of me so I decided to try and run with him, but he just picked up the pace.  Reminds me when Natalie and I would run with the guys... or when Amanda and I were running behind RJ when we were freshmen and he kept looking back and speeding up because he didn't want us to catch him!

Ran 2 laps around the perimeter at Sugarhouse today.  I was mad after 2 cars pulled out in front of me, first from the Highland parking lot, they saw me but pulled out anyway! >:(  And then at the exit of Sugarhouse park, I am sure I startled the driver when I smacked the passenger window very loudly to let them know they should have looked.  I am glad that I am a runner so that I am a more alert driver.

This morning I went up to Shoreline with Jesse to go run.  We started at Red Butte and ran over to Drycreek.  We turned at 2.5 and ran back the same way to finish at 5.
