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:

Win state in the 1600 and 3200

Place in the top 5 at state in the 1600

This week we don't have practice so after I was done with class and had worked on my essay a little bit I went for a run.  I started just outside HPER and ran to 11th Ave. above the cemetery out 2 miles and back.  Then I did core in the training room.

This afternoon I went and did a workout with Ben and a few other people I haven't ran with in a while at the old East High track.  It felt good to be back.  We did a mile warmup and a mile speedchanges, and then changed shoes.  The workout was three 1 mile repeats with 4 minutes rest between each.  On the first one I hit 5:41, then took a lap recovery in the rest time, then 5:44 for the second with another lap recovery, and a 5:48 for the final one.  Then we changed shoes and did 2 laps cooldown to get to 6.

Today I went up to Ogden and went for a run with Ben.  We ran along some trails that went through a golf course and eventually joined up with Shoreline Trail.  We went out three miles and back.  The sunset was really pretty and gave everything an orange glow, we got to watch it go down all the way on our way back.

I didn't make it to writing today because I was feeling sick but I went and had a meeting with Kep about the season.  Hopefully in track workouts and races and stuff will get better.  After getting home I went for a short run, just from my house to Sugarhouse for an outer loop and back.  On the way there when I was stopped at the light on 2100s I saw my cousin.

It is what athletes do when their coaches aren't watching that makes them champions.  Today I ran from my house to East's track and then did a mile of speed changes.  Though it was windy, I was determined to get in some good 400s.  I thought 10 would be ideal but I didn't know if I had time or if I wanted to battle the wind for that long.  First I decided to see how well I could make it through 4.  I took a lap recovery after each.  I hit 1:20, 1:21, 1:18, 1:21, 1:22, 1:18.  Not too bad.  Then I changed shoes and ran home for cooldown.

This morning I had to get up early-ish to get my run in before going to Eden for Adam's baptism.  I ran from my house up to 1500e then over to 2100s and up to 2100e, then back over to 900s and down to 1500e.  Turning off of 900s I almost slipped because of some slush but then I caught myself on that same foot that I slipped on and it was kinda cool!  I ran out a few more blocks to Kensington and then cut down to 1400e to head home because I needed to add a little more to get to 6.
