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.  Bill wasn't there to give us a workout but with Emily we did the same thing as last week with a few changes.  We did a lap warmup and then we got water and stretched and then went back to greet Sarah as she finished her lap but realized as we were getting farther around highland that maybe she had done another lap.  So we cut into the park and went to the bottom of the hill where Emily was waiting and Sarah was there, she had started a second lap.  We did 10 of the hills we did last week and again started in 3 groups.  My times were between 1:33 and 1:39, usually I hit around 1:36-37.  Then we got water and cut back to the outer lap and did a partial lap around the park for cooldown.

This morning I slept in since its the last day of summer break.  I only slept until 8:00, but when you run cross country that is sleeping in.  I went up to Pipeline and went out half an hour (3.5 miles) and back.

Today we had our first after school practice, because it was the first day of school =P  It was really hot!!! We started with 2 miles warmup and a mile of speedchanges on the track.  Then we discussed some things and did another lap to warm back up.  We did fartlek on the track.  We did a ladder going down, 5 minutes on 3 off, 4 on 3 off, 3 on 2 off, 2 on 1 off, 1 on and 1 off.  I got 14 laps during that.  Then I did 5 stadium laps cooldown (2.25 miles).  And I drank a lot of water afterwards!

This afternoon we ran out of the stadium down to 1300e. and over to the park on South Temple.  The we did 10 strides going up the hill in the middle, and jogging back for recovery.  Then we got water and ran up Virginia Street and to the drinking fountain by Shriner's.  Then we ran backwards the way we come if we're just going to the fountain until 500s.  Then we ran up all the way along the curve until Sunnyside Ave. where we turned.  At the park I was with Natalie, Bryson, and Taylor, and we stopped to get water.  Then we went behind the fields to get more distance so we would have less to do at the track.  Then we only had to do 1 lap at the track and were at 8.  It was probably hotter today than yesterday!  But we survived another day, let's see how tomorrow is.

This afternoon we ran down to Liberty and over to the drinking fountain.  Then we stretched for a while and ran to the mile start for mile repeats.  We started in 3 groups, 30 seconds apart.  I started in the last group.  I was in the back with Natalie because the guys were way too fast, but after half a mile we began to catch people from the other groups.  We hit 6:29 for the first one, then got half mile recovery and got moved to the second group.  That time was better, 6:22.  Then we had another half mile recovery before one more, this time Natalie passed me with not long to go and my time was 6:32.  Then we went back to the fountain for water, did a backwards lap, and ran back up to the stadium.  We stopped at Great Harvest for bread but I just carried mine and ran all the way back up to get 9 miles.

This morning I slept in until about 7:30 and then got up and went for a run.  I ran up 1300s to Wasatch Boulevard and over to Thunderbird.  I was planning on going to the drinking fountain by the flagpole but I had run into rain so I turned down and ran back along Foothill to where it was dry.  Then I ran down until Foothill turned into 500s and then turned on Guardsman and came home.  Then I had to measure my run on google earth because I noticed after Guardsman that my Garmin stopped measuring the run, that was frustrating, but I'll figure it out.
