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!!

Win state in the 1600 and 3200

Place in the top 5 at state in the 1600

This morning we ran from our track to Sugarhouse Park. We were supposed to do hills, but my shin was hurting bad so I just ran to the park and back. I slowed down quite a bit on the way back. I didn't do the afternoon workout.

I got new shoes again last night. This time I went to Nordstrom Rack and got some asics. They are way comfortable. This morning we did the VA loop going up to Foothill and down to 1300e. That was 3.25 miles and after we got back we did 10 hills. Then we did a 5 lap cooldown so the morning was 5 miles. My shoes were good but my foot fell asleep because I think I tied my shoes too tight.

For the afternoon we ran to Sugarhouse and did a lap and then came back. I loosened my laces a bit but my foot still fell asleep but when I picked up the pace on the way back it was fine. When I got back to the track I iced and it feels good.

I wore my blue asics today.  I'm going to start alternating between my blue asics and my brown asics so that both pairs will last longer.  While on the bus it was a bit rainy, but when we got to the park it had stopped and the sun was coming back.  What happened to the clouds we had all day?  The girls did a 1 mile warmup, we ran parts of the course.  Then I changed to my flats and we went to the line for some strides.  We probably weren't at the best place for the start but we still got out fast.  I took the lead between 400 and 800 meters I think.  I held my place through the whole race.  I hope I can get a faster time at Murray Invitational this Friday.  My shin didn't hurt during the race, but for a few minutes after I stopped my ankle hurt a bit.  I changed shoes and it went away.  Then we did a 2 mile cooldown.

We did an easy run this afternoon.  We just ran from our track to Sunnyside Park, and there we did 2 big laps and then ran back to our track.  I ran with Bre, Amanda, Tess, and Ashleigh and we ran at about an 8:30 pace I think.

I had a lot of pasta last night and for lunch today.  We started with a mile warmup, around the park to some bathrooms and back.  Then we changed our shoes and did the same thing.  I wore my flats.  Then we went to the line and did some strides.  It was nice weather, not too hot.  It was very crowded at the start, but I did ok.  I almost tripped.  Through the race I kept passing people, and I don't think I ever got passed.  I had an interesting race, when a girl in front of me sneezed I said "bless you", haha.  I had a nice kick at the end too, I think I want to work on getting an earlier kick maybe.

I slept in an extra hour this morning.  My shin was hurting when I woke up, and I didn't feel like actually going anywhere to run, so I just ran 2 miles on the treadmill.  To stay entertained I watched tv.  I might go run later tonight.
