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 I went for an easy run with Natalie.  We started at my house and did the Shriner's route.  We made it in the campus just past the Union Building.  We stopped to stretch there and then ran back the same way we had come.

Today we started with running up to the track and doing 2 laps.  Then we had to do drills with the sprinters.  Then we ran 8 hills, we did them in the driveway from the parking lot up into the stadium.  Then we did part of a stadium lap and went out to Sunnyside and ran up to Foothill.  Then we turned and ran down 500s, and when we got to the cemetery we did a lap.  Then we went down to 1300e and finished by going up to the track.  Then we ran back down to the school.

Today for workout we ran to Fairmont Park for strides.  I ran most of the way there with Abigail.  At the park we did 10 strides.  Then we ran to Liberty Park and stopped at the drinking fountain.  Then we did a backwards lap and ran back up to the school to finish.  Then we did a few things in the weight room.  We first did hamstring stretches, then we balanced on one foot and passed erasers around.  Then we did a few wall sits, followed by squats with the bar, and then lunges with weights.  After I got home I realized my shoes have way too many miles on them!

Today we started with some stretches with the whole team.  We stretched our muscles that were sore from yesterday, and then did some wall sits.  Then we went into the weight room and got weights and walked all the way up to the D floor a few times, doing different things.  Then we did 2 sets of the Flannagan circuits, followed by some stepups.  Then we went for a short run, up to the flagpole at the U and then through campus past the bookstore and library and back to school the opposite way we go to Shriners.  I had my mom pick up some new shoes for me today, she got me the new Mizuno wave riders, but the new design hurt my feet!  After practice I exchanged them for wave alchemies, so hopefully those feel better tomorrow.

Today after school (or rather the one class I went to :) I ran from my house up to 1500e and over to 2100s, then up to 1700e and over to 2700s where I went up a little and turned at 2.5, which was at about Melbourne Street.  Then I came back the same way.  And I figured out the problem with my shoes, I really had the Wave Alchemy 10s before but I thought I had the Wave Inspires... Oops

Today I did I route I haven't done in a while.  I ran from my house up to 1500e, over to Sunnyside, up to Foothill, and down where it curves to 500s, then on 1300e I turned left and went back to my house.
