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!!

This morning we had practice at Sugarhouse.  We started with a big lap warmup around the park, and then got water and did a couple strides.  Then we ran to the big hill by the road which we run down during state.  We did 10 loops of down the hill, turning, and then going up the hill focusing on good form.  Then we got water again and went down to the fields and did the Flannagan circuit twice.  Then we did another big lap around the park for cooldown, Natalie and I were trying to sing Mulan but couldn't remember all the words haha.  Afterwards I did my core and pushups.

In the evening I ran with Brandon.  We started at Sunnyside, ran to the drinking fountain at Shriner's, and back.  It was 4 and a quarter.

This morning my sister and I went up to Pipeline to get started early since we had to be somewhere.  We only had time to go out 3, so just barely missed making it to the trail marker we were supposed to, but it was alright.  About a mile in I tripped and broke my fall with both hands, slicing open both palms and scraping my left knee and ankle.  And I got dirt in them too.  I'm alright though, just got up and kept going.

This morning we met at Wheeler farm for workout.  We did a big loop through all of the trails, even through a horse corral, for warmup.  Then we did fartlek in one of the loops.  We did 5 minutes on, 3 minutes off, 4 on, 3 0ff, 3 on, 2 off, 2 on, 2 off, 1 on and 1 off.  Natalie was ahead of my for the first one, but I kept up with her on the rest of them.  Afterwards we did a cooldown with another outer loop.

This morning we did our bike and run up at Jeremy Ranch.  We had 8 teams, and Bill ran the whole way.  I was on Gavin's team and I started on the bike.  After the turnaround at mile 5 I was starting to feel tired, and my quads and calves were getting sore.  The last 2 miles it was very windy and it felt like there were small rocks in the wind too.  Gavin and I finished in about an hour and a half.

This morning we had an easy day with just 2 laps around Liberty, quick water break between laps.  Surprisingly my legs weren't sore from yesterday.

This morning I started with a 2 mile warmup with Emily, Natalie, and Abigail.  We went over the last mile backwards, and then ran a part of the Murray Invite course.  Then we took a potty break and then headed to our stuff.  I changed shoes and took my Gu.  On the line I did strides.  Going out I don't think I had a very fast start, but it wasn't bad.  I could see a pack of girls so I decided I'd try to run behind them for a bit and see if I could keep up.  They were all faster and I didn't catch them, but it kept me pushing.  At mile 1 my time was 6:11, and then after the turnaround I began to try to catch people.  I caught up to Emily and then passed her, and then later she caught back up with me and I had to push to stay with her, and during that push I passed Taylor and Mel.  At mile 2 my time was 12:12.  During the last mile I got passed back by Mel and 2 other people.  No one tried to pass me and I didn't work towards passing anyone.  I started my kick at the 3 mile, where my time was 18:30.  I came so close to breaking 19, but I still have a few races to try in.  Afterwards we did a cooldown of a big loop going out backwards on the course and around the block that the park was on.  I ate a lot of popsicles afterwards :)
