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!!

We did a speed workout today after school.  We started with 3 laps warmup, 3 laps speedchanges, and a lap recovery.  Then we did four 400s.  The wind was going north, so the last 100 on each of then we were running into the wind.  The first one I hit 1:21.  Then the second and third I drafted and got 1:17 and a 1:16.  Then I had to battle the wind for the last one and hit a 1:19.  Then we did eight 200s.  The goal was after each two to knock off a second.  My times were 40, 39, 38, 37, 37, 38, 36, 37.  Afterwards we did 2 laps around the stadium for cooldown.

For practice today we ran to the drinking fountain at Shriner's and back.  I kinda pushed the way there, then relaxed a bit on the way back.

This morning I went to Steiner and biked for 30 minutes.

After school for practice we went to Cottonwood Complex.  We did just over 10 minutes warmup, then 5 strides.  That was about a mile and a half.  Then we did Bertha 4 times, all the way up and to the fence.  That is 400, and then we haad 400 recovery.  My times were 1:27, 1:26, 1:28, 1:29.  Then we went to another hill which is shorter but steeper but we ran out to a fence that was farther away, and from there turned and went down to the sidewalk, then jogged back to the start.  The whole push and recovery was probably about 800.  One of them we did shorter because a race was going by, so it was about 400.  My times were 1:48, 1:49, 1:25 (the shorter one), and 1:43.  Then we did about a 10 minute cooldown.  Then I got to watch region 2 race, it was cool to watch. 

My legs didn't hurt today, and I felt strong.

This morning I went and did elliptical for 30 minutes on the cross country setting, then I did a 5 minute cooldown.

After school the workout was going to do laps in the gully.  I wasn't feeling too well, I made it just inside the gully and felt too sick to continue, so I walked back to the track.  

I just got back from instacare and found out that I have the flu (the first time in my life) so I'll have to take some time off.  Hopefully I recover before state.

I felt well this morning, so I decided it would be alright to run.  My sister told me that the instructions from the coaches were a mile warmup, 2 miles speedchanges, and a mile cooldown.  I just did 1 mile of speedchanges, I didn't want to overdo running for my first day back from being sick.  My legs didn't want to go at first, probably from staying home all day yesterday, but I was able to maintain a good pace.  I ran to the track, then stretched, did my speedchanges, got water, and ran back home.
