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 I did 2 miles on my own, out to Sunnyside Ave and back home.

After school we started with a mile warmup, a mile speedchanges, and a lap recovery.  Then we stretched for a few minutes and then got on the line.  First we did two 800s each with a lap recovery.  My times were 2:49 on both, though the splits were different.  Then we did four 400s each with a lap recovery.  My times were 1:19, 1:18, 1:22, 1:19.  Then we did eight 200s, my times varied between 38 and 41 seconds.  What we did for the recovery on those was after the first four we had 45 seconds recovery, and then we only got 15 seconds recovery after the last 4.  Then we did 3 stadium laps cooldown.  When I got home I did my crunches, pushups, and arm swings.

Today we had workout at Liberty.  We started with 2 laps warmup and then some stretching.  Then we ran over to where we do hills.  We split into 3 teams, and the teams stood in different places.  We did a sort of relay where we ran up the hill around a cone, along the top of the hill to the other cone, and down the hill to start our team mate off.  We each did 5 strides in that set.  Then I moved one of the cones because there were some really annoying people at the park who moved to get into our way and were being really annoying and rude.  We readjusted teams, and again were in 3 teams.  And Bill arranged the orders too so we'd be by people who would be challenging.  Again we all did 5 strides, this time they were in a loop.  Afterwards we did 2 laps cooldown.  When I got home I did my crunches, pushups, and arm swings.

Today we ran from the stadium up Sunnyside past the zoo up onto Wasatch Drive.  I was running with Natalie.  We took that all the way to Thunderbird and then cut down to Foothill and to the drinking fountain past the flagpole.  Then we turned around and ran back along Foothill and then at 1300s cut down to 1900e and then over to Sunnyside and back down into the stadium.  When I got home I took a 10 minute ice bath, and then did my crunches, pushups, and arm swings.

Today for workout we met at Peace Gardens.  We took the run easy, out 3 miles and back.  On the way out at about 2 miles we saw a baby snake, I think it looked like a king snake since it was black and yellow.  When we got back we stretched and then did 10 strides and some core.  We did arm swings, leg lifts, high toes, buttkicks, lunges, step ups, and wall sits.  At home I did crunches and pushups.  My legs felt tired during the strides, I hope they toughen up for tomorrow so that I can get in a good final speedworkout before state.

 Today we were at Wheeler Farm for workout.  We started with 2 miles warmup, and then stretched before going over to our loop.  We did fartlek, two sets of 10 1 minute on 1 minute off with a 5 minute break between sets.  Through the first set I stayed with Natalie the whole time.  The first few in the second set I was having a hard time keeping up with Natalie, so I pushed harder.  By the end I had caught up to all of the guys except for Ben.  Then we did about 1 mile cooldown.  Later I did my crunches, pushups, and arm swings.

This morning I went running with my sister at Liberty Park. I did 3 laps, she stayed with me all the way through part of the 3rd lap. We talked about the music video we're going to make with Natalie and Delaney to the shopping song :) When I got home I did my crunches, pushups, and arm swings.
