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.  I am a captain again with Bre.  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 and finished 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 had the slowest time from all the regionals (though we probably had the toughest course) but I didn't let that affect me mentally as I took 22nd and beat 6 of the girls who had beat me at regionals.  I trained through the winter and have just started indoor races for track.  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 which I had been working for my whole high school career but never achieved until now.  I ran the fastest 1600 and 3200 at state, claiming the double crown in those events :)

Now in college, I run for the University of Utah.  I lettered my freshman season of cross country, and so far have had a great indoor season.

This morning I took my iPod for a run at Sugarhouse.  I did 3 grass laps there, two counterclockwise and one clockwise, because I wanted to stay on soft surface.  I was worried about my right gastrocnemius because I woke up in the night with a charlie horse! It hurt so bad!  And the muscle was flexed all the way!  Fortunately it didn't hurt while I was running.  It better behave this weekend too because yesterday Kep called me while I was at work to tell me that someone scratched the 5k so I'M GOING TO REGIONALS!!!!!!!! :)  I race Saturday night in Texas and I am so happy that I have another chance :)

This morning I met Andrea and Amanda at the track for workout.  We warmed up to the same spot across North Campus and back that we usually do, then added a lap at the track since we didn't start from the locker room.  We did our strides and drills and then Kep came and told us our workouts.  I forgot to grab my flats as I left my house, even though I did remember to go grab my summer lifting manual and had to run back in to grab it!  So i just did the workout in my trainers, but I was fine with that because then I wouldn't get too sore.  My workout was four sets of 800 then 600, with 2 minutes (200 jog) recovery for each.  I was supposed to try and run about 2:40 pace for the 8s and a little faster pace for the 600s.  I hit 2:45, 2:02, 2:44, 2:03, 2:46, 2:05, 2:50, and then instead of the last 600 I did two 200s both in 41.  Then I cooled down to North Campus and back with Amanda and Andrea and then ran down to the weight room to finish my cooldown.
