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 I got up early and went running with some of my neighbors.  I don't remember the exact course, but we were running on nonbusy streets.  We ran up to the country club and back.  It was a good temperature for running so that was nice.

Hey, I was going to tell you about a group of gals and guys that call themselves the runamoks and they are all 8 minute milers and under. I run sometimes with them when my schedule allows and they are fun and very supportive of each other. they usually meet up at city creek on wednesdays and cottonwood high school on monday evening at 6 and then saturdays they do long runs together. I can introduce you if you'd like. Do you run up millcreek or emmigration at all?

Hey, I just noticed that you were 14 years old. I thought you were older than that! Holy cow you are awesome! keep up the good work, your times are posted on mammoth marathons website. congrats. If you are still interested in running with the runamoks talk to andrea on this blog and she can help you. I was thinking you could drive and all that so good running though. I have a daughter who will be 13 in a couple of weeks and she did the 11.4K up there also. She's on this blog also under sarah.

That group sounds like fun. I am going to be pretty busy though, because I train with Wasatch Athletics on the off season, and I'm starting some high school running this week. Are the runs at Cottonwood speedwork? This sounds like it is a fun group and I'll would like to be introduced sometime. I could probably show on a Wednesday next week, this week I'm busy getting ready for Wasatch Back. I don't get to run in the canyons mainly because I can't drive. I have run on the Pipeline trail a few times at team practices but other than that none. Thats cool that your daughter runs. I have a little sister who is 13, and I'm trying to get her to run.

Hi--I am actually in the Runamok group, and it is a lot of fun! I think the speedwork is at Cottonwood High. Tracy1 on the blog has more details on that run. Great job on all your PRs! You are fast!!!

From Susannah on Wed, Jun 18, 2008 at 00:01:30

I really hope that I'll be able to run with the group sometime. I'm not sure about the speedwork though, because I do speedwork on Tuesdays. I guess I'll have to try it sometime and see if I can manage to do both. I love running, so my life pretty much revolves around running, and this group sounds so fun.
