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 after sleeping in until 10 (so nice being done with finals!) :)  I got up and got my first workout of the week done.  I am going to Florida for the rest of the week so thought it would be easier to get it done today.  I ran to the track at East for warmup, and then did a mile of speedchanges.  For my workout I picked five 1000s, and was thinking 800 recovery but after the first one remembered why I had done 600 before-- counting miles is easier.  The wind was going north and not fun, and I was planning on alternating each of them but after the second when I had to run into the wind 3 times I decided to just do them all finishing at the other side of the track.  My times were 3:28, 3:33, 3:34, 3:34, and for the last one I switched again into the wind and hit 3:37... I wanted to finish by where I left my gloves and didn't think until 100 meters into the last set that I could have just done the recovery to there :P  Oh well.  It was a great workout for early season, I am glad I got it done early :)  For cooldown I ran about 2 and a half so I could finish with 10 for the day.

Today after arriving in Florida I went for a nice run in the sunshine and warmth!  I ran out on the main roads until I hit a light, but I was at 3 miles so I headed back and when I got closer to where I started I took a different way back to add on and finish at 9.  I enjoyed today's weather much better than yesterday's wind at the track!

This morning after waking up from a full 12 hours of sleep I went for another nice run in the sunshine :)  I did some random out and backs to where I hit busy intersections until I hit 9.

This morning I had to get up dark and early to get my run in before driving down to Orlando so we can go to Busch gardens.  If I have time tonight I'll run more but it will be dark then too and I probably won't want to...

This morning I got up early to run around the neighborhood in Orlando before going to Seaworld! :)  The night before, one of the girls I am staying with drove me around the neighborhood to show me the safe zone, and strongly advised me to take my phone!  Fortunately I didn't have to start as early as yesterday so it was lighter.  Also there were people out walking their dogs.  I was able to weave and make a bunch of random loops and I did that until I got 6 miles.

Went to the Orlando Temple this morning :)  and didn't run before.  And then we saw the Hobbit, and then drove back to Gainesville.  So it was dark when I started to run, but this area has more options than Orlando did.  I ran out to the round about and took 2 rights and ran up until it went to the freeway.  I turned and ran back the same way, then added on in the parking lot until I was at 6 to finish the week at 45.
