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

Short easy run to Bonneville Glen for a little over 2 laps and back to get 3 miles.  I am exhausted from racing and from a long day of traveling yesterday.  Not to mention all of the schoolwork I have to makeup from missing last week...

This morning after class I ran out on 11th Ave for 2 miles and back.  I thought about lifting afterwards, but decided that a burrito sounded better. :)

Took today off.  My right hip/glute was bothering me.  That always seems to happen a few weeks after track season ends :-P

Despite feeling sick and sleeping all day yesterday, I had a good run today!  I started at Cottonwood Complex and did a loop on the road to 3900s and 1100e to 4500s back to 1300e, then did some of the old region course.  Average pace was 7:27.  Started feeling sick again after, so I went home and slept some more.

This morning after class I went for a run up on Shoreline trail :)  I got on the trail by Red Butte and headed towards Drycreek.  On the way out I almost stepped on a snake!  But I didn't because I looked down to see what that dark thing was on the trail.  It was alive, I saw it's tongue move.  It wasn't a rattle snake, thank goodness.  It turned around and went back into the grass.  I'm kind of amazed that for the many years I've been running on that trail, the only times I have ever seen snakes were last fall and today.  Maybe it is a trend.  Or maybe it is because I used to go a lot earlier in the mornings when it was cooler, and the snakes didn't want to come out then.

Tonight after class I went running with Jesse in Bountiful. We ran up to Bountiful Boulevard (so steep, and my lungs hurt so bad since I got a cold or something Sunday morning!) then to 1800s, down to Davis Boulevars, and back to our starting point. Then we did the last half mile with some of the kids. This run felt uphill both ways! It felt so good to be done.
