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

Today we got to go on the adventure run that the girls designed :)  the one where we run to Legacy Bridge, through U campus and up to Red Butte.  Then we got on Drycreek.  Bill told us we were getting on the wrong trail, but how could we?  We designed it afterall.  Anyway. by the JCC we stayed on the trail and took the path to Popperton Park on 11th Ave.  We ran out on 11th to the firestation and then turned and came back the Shriner's drinking fountain way.

I started with about a mile and a half warmup with Amanda and Bre, and then we stopped for a while.  Then I changed shoes because they were going to combine our race with the division younger than us.  But then they didn't so I did about another mile running around cheering for my sister and Natalie and Dakota and Scott.  Then I did a few strides on the line.  Going out I was the lead girl and the three guys in the race were ahead of me.  The course had the weirdest hills and turns.  Going down Bessie I worked on catching up to the guys.  Going up a hill after that I was able to catch up and pass one of the boys.  Later I was able to catch another one and then it was just RJ ahead of me and I still tried to catch me.  All through that I could hear that there was a girl close behind me and I tried using my corners to see where exactly.  Going down the hill by the parking lot on the south side of the baseball diamonds she caught up to me and passed me.  I tried to stay with her, and I was able to close on her at some points.  Going to the final part where we go down a hill and across the field and then turn and go to the finish I tried to catch up to see if I could get up to her.  I was able to get closer but when she started her kick I wasn't close enough.  But I was I think only 7 seconds behind her.

I wasn't able to do a cooldown after the race because I had to leave quickly but later in the day I went for a 3 mile run on Shoreline trail with Bryan.
