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

I ran 0 miles :(  But I did play tag with a bunch of my cousins so it wasn't so bad.

I ran 3 miles.  I'm training my little sister so she can't go that far yet.  We just ran to Sunnyside Park and she waited while I did a lap around the full outside of the park.  My little sister doesn't exactly want to be a distance runner, and she didn't have good running shoes, so maybe when she gets some shoes we can run more.

I ran about 8 miles.  I was doing a speedworkout, and I think I did a pretty good job.  I was at Sugarhouse Park and after our warmup, which was about 2 miles,  we did an 800, 3 400s, and 5 200s.  It was simple... maybe I could get my little sister to come to one of the easier workouts.

I ran 6 miles.  It was very nice weather :) It was a little rainy, but at least it wasn't hot.  I was running with my older brother, but sometimes I get in more mileage than him.  We were running along Foothill, and then I wanted to get more mileage so I ran to our schools track.

I ran 6 miles with a friend.  We live a few streets away, so often we will start running until we meet and then we go somewhere.  I just did the same thing I did yesterday, but instead of going to the track we just ran home because between our houses we got about a mile.

I just went on an easy run today so that I can be rested for my 10k tomorrow.  I''ve never done a 10k before, so we'll see how I do on that.  It was a simple run, just around a few blocks in the neighborhood.

This was my first 10k.  It started at 6 am, but since it was rainy there wasn't very many people there.  It was still fun though.  It was dark when we arrived at the starting line, so I did about a  mile warmup back and forth up the canyon to the line.  When the race started I was able to quickly gain 4th place overall, and 1st female.  Throuhgout the race I could hear people behind me, and at one point when I looked back there was a guy about 10 meters behind me.  I set a goal to not let anyone pass me, and since the race was downhill I changed pace a lot, going faster down the hills.  I had a good time, even though I'm a little cold right now.  I look forward to seeing how I do on a 10k that isn't all downhill.
