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

Tonight after class I went running with Jesse in Bountiful. We ran up to Bountiful Boulevard (so steep, and my lungs hurt so bad since I got a cold or something Sunday morning!) then to 1800s, down to Davis Boulevars, and back to our starting point. Then we did the last half mile with some of the kids. This run felt uphill both ways! It felt so good to be done.

Finally bought some vaporub last night, my chest felt so much better on my run today! I went to Murray Park for my run. I did a lap around the perimeter and then did strides in the field where Murray Invite starts/finishes. After 6 strides I was done, so I did another lap around the perimeter. I finished by the office building to see about doing the 5k on the 4th, but the deadline was yesterday. Oh well, I guess I get another year of being normal on the 4th. :-)

This morning after class I ran out on Foothill and up Sunnyside to the Shoreline trailhead across from the zoo. I took the lower part of the trail back to campus. Thank goodness there is a drinking fountain by the new museum, the one by Red Butte wasn't working. Lifted when I was done.

This morning I took Jesse up to Pipeline for his first time!  We went out 3 miles and back.  We saw a lizard!  It was cute, but probably also a sign that we should get up and go running earlier so it isn't so hot... The first 2 miles were ok, as the shade kept the trail cooler than everywhere else, but out in the open it was hot!  And the 3rd mile felt like it was forever!  Same with the 4th.  But I was looking forward to getting back to the bridge, I had this brilliant idea to douse my shirt and put it on to keep me cool!  It was awesome!  If I had thought of it sooner I totally would have done it at the river before getting on the trail!  And maybe again at the bridge on the way out.  I might do that more often now. :)  Good run.
