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 after doing my rehab and getting taped, I went for a run with Kate, Hilary, Andrea, Charlotte, and Alyssa.  As we were about to leave, we saw Amanda walking to the Burb so we sprinted over to her to give her a huge hug for her amazing performance at nationals!!! :)  She was 14th and finally broke 20! :)  For our run we started on Foothill, then went down 2100e.  The other girls turned early so I just kept going with Charlotte and Alyssa.  When we got to 2100s we turned down and then turned again on 1900e to run back to campus.  At Sunnyside we went back up to Foothill, and we caught back up to the other girls at the light on Mario Capecchi.  At the lockerroom we still needed .75 to get 7 so Charlotte ran out and back with me to get the full 7.

Today I took Trax down to 9th east with the team to join them for their warmup of the workout.  When they got to their strides I just did laps around the perimeter of the park.  I did 2 full ones and then saw them on their workout so cheered them on as I saw them.  I did another third of a lap to see them one more time and was done at 7.

This morning after class I went and got my rehab done and then went for a run up on Shoreline Trail.  I had planned on just running to 3 and turning, and I was so close to Sunnyside that I almost wanted to pansy out of running back up the hills and just run back on the road, but I stuck to the trail :)  And my knee didn't hurt!  When I got back I got my knee retaped for running the rest of the week.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!  This morning I went for a run with Abigail and my iPod.  We ran out on 1500e, then cut up to 1700e at 2100s, then down to Imperial Street at 2700s.  We ran to 3 miles, took a stretch break, and ran home.  We maintained a great pace, faster than I run with my team or on my own!  :)  My tape job is kinda coming off already, I'll have to see how well I can keep it on the rest of the week...

Today after doing some shopping with my sister I took a break and went for a run with my iPod.  I ran up 1300e to Wasatch Drive, then over past the flagpole on Foothill on the paved bike trail to 3.5, and back the same way.  My knee felt great :)

Today I ran in Kearns after giving my sister a ride to the oval.  I ran out to whatever main road is north of the oval, and then west.  I saw a free cat in the road!  I ran to 5600w and turned, and then turned again on 6200s.  I hit 3.5 at the shopping area that my team runs to for our warmups at the oval.  I turned and ran back the same way.  The free cat was gone this time.  Avg. pace 7:17 just like yesterday :)
