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

This morning we met at Sugarhouse.  We did 2 grass laps warmup, and then found out it was boot camp today.  We knew we had to keep our attitudes good if we wanted the workout to go by quicker.  We first did a Flannagan circuit, and then jogged over to a pavilion and did 3 sets of 1 minute on high knees.  Then we jogged to another pavilion and did 3 sets of 15 pushups (the last set was tricep pushups) and 3 sets of 20 crunches.  Then we jogged around the pond and did 10 hills, hard up and recovery down.  Then we jogged to the drinking fountain for a quick drink.  Then we did 3 sets of 30 seconds leg lifts.  On the last one we were told that if anyone dropped we'd all have to do it again.  We sang Mulan to get through that one, and everyone made it!  Then we jogged back to where we did the first circuit and we did another one, this time going the other way.  Then we jogged into highlands stadium and did 3 sets of wall sits.  Then we got water and moved on to the bleachers for stairs.  We did 5 laps that had 2 sets of stairs up an 2 recovery down with sprints back to the starts.  Then we did 3 sets of tricep dips, and finished with some easy drills; lunges, high toes, power skips, and butt kicks.  Then we did another lap around the park for cooldown.  We had a hard workout today, but a big turnout.  We all made it and it feels so good to be finished!!!

This morning we ran up on Pipeline.  I have never been all the way to the end of Rattlesnake so today was my first time.  On the way there I was just in front of Natalie and Spencer.  At 4 miles (the turnaround is at 4.7) I tripped and broke my fall with my left palm first, followed by my knee and hip.  That hurt and on the way back I slowed down a bit.  Then to get 10 I ran with Natalie on a boardwalk to the side of the road up .3 and back.  Then I sat in the river for a little bit, but not as long as I would usually have gone for because I wanted to take care of my hand.  I ended up getting the dirt scrubbed out at the doctor, it hurt really bad. And my thumb and index finger are swollen.  Ouch.

This morning we met at the track for workout.  We started with 2 miles warmup and a mile of speedchanges going clockwise.  Then we did a mile with 2 laps recovery (6:14), an 800 with a lap recovery (2:56), and four 400s with equal recovery (1:23, 1:23, 1:24, 1:23).  Then for cooldown we did a grass lap and then ran up to Sunnyside and did a lap, then I added a loop on the back fields because we needed to hit 3, then back at the stadium to finish did another grass lap and a lap in the outer lanes of the track.  I'm glad my times were consistent during the 400s, but I need to work on bringing all of them doown.

This morning I ran 6 miles on my own early because of girls camp.  I ran from my house to Sugarhouse and then along 1700e to 2700s up to 2000e and then back.

In the evening at camp up at Little Deer Creek I did 2 miles again on my own, I went out a mile from camp and back.  The trail kind of looped around the camp so from the road I could see our camp.

After getting home from camp in the afternoon I went up to Steiner and ran 6 on the treadmill.  I'm sure I smelled gross.
