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 I ran 10 miles with Nikki.  We did our City Creek to Trax route again.  We could see the train passing by as we were just getting to 4th south on State Street and we thought we were going to miss it, but then the train got stuck at a light forever and we made it!  Yay!

This morning I did a workout at Liberty Park.  After warming up about 2 miles and then strides and drills, I got going.  The workout was three by 1 mile at 6:20-6:30 pace with 1:15 recovery.  I thought it shouldn't be too bad considering how last week's 800s felt, but I was wrong.  My sense of feel for pace is way off right now.  The first mile was 6:35.  The next one was 6:30.  The third was 6:22, but the splits were definitely not even...  Workouts are so much nicer when you have a teammate helping you out!  On the first two I was on pace at the half mile, I think I just eased up too much on the second half because I didn't want to put forth more effort.  Or I am just being too hard on myself for the first longer workout back.  It really wasn't that bad I guess...  I cooled down a mile and a half to get to 7 total.

This morning I went running with Nikki.  It was nice that it was cloudy, even though it was still hot and humid at least we didn't have the sun cooking us!  We ran down Foothill to 2100s and down.  Between 2300e and 2100e we saw some little critters on the sidewalk!  They were about the same size as the one I saw at the golf course a few weeks ago, but these ones were gray and had long tails.  Maybe they were baby rats.  Using sticks we pushed them onto rocks so that we could set them off of the sidewalk so they wouldn't get stepped on.  There were two of them.  Then we kept running.  We ran down to 700e and then over to Liberty Park.  We did a counter-clockwise lap and then to 600e and back to 700e, to go to the 900e Trax station to finish with 10.  Then we took a 15 minute ice bath.

This morning I went and helped out with the high school cross country camp that the U does.  I drove some of the kids up to Pipeline, then Kep had me lead a group of boys out on the trail.  I went out 4 miles with them and then ran back with Hannah.  Iced in the river below the knees for a few minutes afterwards.

This morning I finished my last final!  In my rush to get to school on time, I didn't have the best breakfast.  Lemonade to wash everything down was the worst, so 1 mile into my run I was puking.  I decided to be done and just walked back to the lockerroom.
