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 ran up 2100s to 2100e and then turned south.  Then we ran on that street until a church, where we turned right again, and then we went under the freeway and turned at the maverick at 2700s, then we ran all the way down to Alden St. and went across to Parkway Ave.  Then going over the freeway back to the park we reached 4, so to make it 6 we did a lap on the outside of the park.  I timed it at 46 minutes.

Today we met up at the Drycreek trail head at the JCC.  We first went up the hill and chose rocks to carry for the first mile and a half.  Then we dropped off the rocks in our pile.  I continued until I reached the 3 mile point, then I turned around.  My calves were hurting so bad on the way up, but they were ok on the way down.  I was worried on the way down that I would be pounding too hard on my feet and get injured, so after some of the major downhills I stopped for a few seconds before continuing.

In the evening I went to Liberty Park to meet a group doing fartlek.   We did 2 laps warmup (3 miles)  then 8 3 minute on equal recovery fartlek.  That was almost 4 laps, then Bill and I went the other way so it was about 5.  Total of 10 miles.  I felt ok, I was very hungry and thirsty afterwards.

Today we met at our stadium and then ran up Sunnyside to Foothill Blvd. There we arranged fireman's line and ran down the curved road along 500s to 1300e and then we took that back to our stadium. Then we did some strides, I only did 6 and then 2 laps to get me up to 4, because I had to go get my wisdom teeth out.

Took it easy today because of getting my wisdom teeth out yesterday.  Went up to the Pipeline trail, I went very slowly, especially on hills.  I went to the bridge and back.  My mouth wasn't bleeding, so that was good.  Afterwards I stood in the river to ice my calves for 10 minutes.

I hardly slept because the pain meds from actually getting my teeth out had worn off... so I didn't go to practice this morning.  Instead, in the evening I went running with my sister.  We ran to Sugarhouse Park, and were going to do a lap on the outside, but as we were waiting at the light we saw lighting of a storm that was coming in so we decided to go home.  That was a good choice because as we got closer to home we saw some closer lightning.

Today I slept in a bit (I had some sleep medicines) so it was very hot when I ran.  I ran to Sugarhouse, did a lap on the outside, and returned home.  I got in my mileage goal this week :)
