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 met at Sugarhouse.  We did 2 big laps warmup and then were stretching by the drinking fountain, and then we ran back to meet Abigail.  Then we went over to the hill right after passing the pond on the state course.  We ran it 5 times, starting in 3 groups that were 10 seconds apart.  I was in the last group with Natalie and the guys.  After we finished we did another big lap cooldown.  Then I did my crunches and pushups.

This morning we met up at Drycreek by the JCC.  We ran all the way to City Creek, where we stopped for water.  We carried rocks up to our pile as usual.  The way back was tough, coming up all those hills.  I was with Natalie most of the time, and Amanda for a bit on the way back.  It was getting really hot and I was very thirsty by the end.  Water has never tasted better afterwards.

This morning we met out at Wheeler Farm for workout.  We started with a 2 and a quarter mile warmup which I led.  I ran all the cement circles I found at least once fully.  We were trying to get to the corral but Bill said it was enough warmup.  Then we went over by the main bridge by the loop we do fartlek on.  We were doing half miles today.  We started across the bridge and then did one of our loops and then just crossed the intersection of paths.  Then we did a recovery loop of about .6 miles for each one.  We started in 2 groups, I was in the second, which started 20 seconds after the first.  My times were 3:05, 3:01, 2:56, 2:52.  Then we did about a 3 mile cooldown, and this time Dakota and I succeeded in going through the corral.

This morning we had to start early but it was nice because we got going soon after we got to the park.  We started at Sunnyside and then ran up to Wasatch Boulevard and took that all the way to Thunderbird.  Then we cut down to Foothill and ran to the drinking fountain.  Then we turned around and ran back along Foothill and then went down 1300s to 1900e and then back to Sunnyside Ave. and back to the park and a lap around to make it a full 8.  And we had muffins and donuts afterwards, thanks Emily!!!

This morning I went to the race with my sister and my cousins Michaela and Jacque.  I warmed up with my sister, I did 3 miles and she came along for 2.  Then I changed shoes and got to the line for strides.  I got a spot right on the front and when the race started I went out hard because I wanted a better race than last week.  I went out strong and I felt like I stayed strong.  My mile split was 5:47, 2 mile was 11:58, and I think I have a new 5k PR.  Afterwards we cooled down half a mile with Davis and then I did another mile and a half on my own to finish my miles for this week.
