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!!

Today we had cross country practice.  We ran down to Libery and split into groups for fireman.  We did 2 laps of that, then our crunches and pushups.  Then we did another backwards lap and ran back up to the school to make it 6.

This morning just after I woke up I ran to Sugarhouse Park, ran the state course, and back home.  Then I did my crunches and pushups.  This week I'm focused on recovering from my race so I won't get injured.

Today I went for a run at Liberty Park.  I did 3 laps the opposite direction of my usual way.  I had a sub 8 minute pace which is better than I've done in a long time I think :)  Afterwards I did my crunches and pushups, right now I'm at 3 sets of 40 crunches and 15 pushups.

This evening I ran to Sugarhouse, did a lap, and came back.  I felt like I had a fast pace, though I didn't time it.  Afterwards I did my crunches and pushups.

This morning I got dropped off at Sunnyside while my mom went to the gym to workout.  I did a few laps until I was at 4.5 which was my goal for today.  I think I did 4 laps, first I did one and then I turned around and did one through and behind the baseball fields.  Then I did the same thing again and got the extra half by a lap around the 2 fields and then part way to the gym.  I then went to Steiner to meet my mother, and while I waited I did arm swings in the weight room.  When I got home I did my crunches and pushups.

This morning I arrived to the location of the race about half hour before it started.  The line to get packets was a bit long, so after getting my number I took my Gu and got running.  I got about a mile for warmup, changed shoes, and did strides on the line.  I had a good spot and I wasn't boxed in at all when the race started.  From the start I believe I was the third girl most of the time.  At the mile my time was 5:52.  Just before the turnaround another girl was catching up to me.  After turning I was able to hold her off for a little bit but eventually she got me, and after she passed me another lady passed me too.  Right before the 2 mile mark going up the hill I lost a bit of the pack ahead of me, though fortunately noone caught up to me.  My 2 mile split was 12:08.  I worked in the last mile on closing the gap the best I could.  At right around the 3 mile I started kicking because I wanted to catch the guy ahead of me.  But when I got there he took off and I finished I think 2 seconds behind him.  I was 19th out of everyone, and noone younger than me finished ahead of me, guys or girls.  Afterwards I changed shoes and ran a mile backwards on the course and back for cooldown.  Afterwards I donated my shoes for Zack's and Luke's eagle project.
