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!!

Right after we finished the AP biology test, Amanda, Caroline, and I went running. We drove up to the Shoreline Trail and went for an easy 2.7 mile run. We didn't go all the way to Red Butte, because we wanted to go to our last class. It was a great stress reliever after the test. Maybe I should do the same after the world history test on Thursday.

After school we did a speed workout. We started with a mile warmup and a mile speedchanges. Then we did four 200s. I hit 37, 36, 35, 35. We did equal recovery after each, but on the last one we did a lap recovery. Then we did a 400 (I hit 1:20) and got to choose our cooldown run. Amanda and I ran to the gully and ran a bit along the trail down there. That was about 1.55 miles with the trip to and from the track.

We had another speed workout today.  Actually it wasn't even a speed workout.  I was really disappointed because it was my third speed day in a row.  I started with a mile warmup and a mile of speedchanges.  Then the "speed" workout wasn't even really speed.  Just 10 strides and then a mile cooldown.  I hate track and want it to be over with.  I didn't even PR this season, oh well.

We got there a bit late, and I had a 4 minute and 23 second warmup before I had to go the bullpen.  I changed shoes and then we headed to the starting line.  I was ranked as 16 but from the start if the race I stuck with the main pack.  I was around 11th and 12th throughout the race.  I fell behind the lead pack on the third lap, but had a nice kick the 4th lap.  I got a new PR so I was very excited.  Afterwards I did about a 3/4 mile cooldown and then took a 15 minute ice bath.

I also got to run the 800 in the medley relay.  I did about a mile warmup and then some drills.  We all kissed the baton for good luck and then went out to the track after spending quite a while in the bull pen... so much for warming up.  Anyway the race started and it was exciting to watch my teammates.  I got the baton in about 5th place and worked to try and cath the runner ahead of me.  At about the last 100 on my first lap a girl passed me.  I tried to stay with her but couldn't.  Then about 200 meters later her and the girl who had received the baton first were dropping back so I fought to the end of the race to pass them.  I got the girl who had received the baton first, and then was right next to the girl who had passed me the previous lap.  I threw myself over the finish line and beat the other girl by .04 of a second.  Our team time was 4:32.63, and we qualified for finals tomorrow!  Afterwards I did about a mile cooldown and then rubbed ice on my legs.

I started with about a mile and a half warmup and then a few drills.  Then in the bullpen I changed to spikes.  I was very excited for the 2 mile because it is my favorite event.  I was ranked as 14 so I got to start at the innermost part of the alley I was in.  I started out right at the pace I should have been at, I think, because it was relaxed and quick.  The first lap was at 1:22, though I didn't catch most of my splits.  From the beginning of the race I was at the back of the pack which was the top 10.  I stuck with Kate for the first 2 laps about, but she moved ahead.  I would have tried to stay with her but since it was early in the race I stuck where I was.  I worked my way past a pack of three which were slowing down and I stayed ahead of them the whole time.  My mile was at about 5:50.  On the 7th lap I worked to close the gap to the girls in front of me and widen the gap behind me.  At the beginning of the 8th lap one of the girls behind me was getting close, but at the 300 I pushed and I kicked in the last 200.  I got a new PR by 10 seconds!!!  I set my previous PR last year at state, and it felt great to PR by so much as I had.  Afterwards I did a mile cooldown and then Amanda and Kelsey, a freshman from Box Elder (she won state!  She's an amazing runner!), and I iced for about 15 minutes. 

For the 800 in the medley I did a half mile warmup and then some drills.  We worked on handoffs and felt very ready for our race.  The handoffs were better today than yesterday so that sped us up.  When I got the baton I was with the pack.  I tried to stick with them but I dropped back.  I was in 8th, and my goal was to make our team score so I focused on not getting passed.  At about the last 200 I think the girl behind me was getting closer so I kicked in and we got a point :)  Afterwards I did a mile cooldown.
