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!!

This morning for practice we ran at the track.  I missed directions so for my warmup I started with a mile warmup and a mile speedchanges, but Bill asked me how many laps I had done when I was on my last lap and I found out I had done too many.  I changed into my spikes and then jogged 200 meters around the track where we were doing 200s.  I only did 5 200s because after the 5th one my calf fell asleep which was weird.  I stopped then and changed shoes and then did a mile cooldown with Breanna W. and Emma. 

In the afternoon since I had hurt in the morning Bill told me to stay at the track and run around it and on the soccerfield.  So I ran along the track and then around the soccer field and up behind the bleachers and then back down to the track, and then Emily told me I was limping so I stopped running.  I think coming down the hill to the track hurt my shin.  I iced it and massaged it a bit.

This morning for our workout we ran to Sugarhouse and did 5 hills starting from the soccerfield. Then we ran back along 1500e and went up the side road with a hill.  On the way there I ran with Bre and Tess, and I ran back with Ashleigh and Tess.  It was a good run, I wore a compression sock because my ankle/back of my shin was hurting.  After the run it wasn't hurting so that was good.  I folded the sock down more over my ankle because it felt like it was helping more there. 

For the afternoon we stayed at our track.  We started with a mile warmup and a mile speedchanges.  Then we did 10 strides across the football field, and then a mile cooldown.  I had some ibuprofen before the workout and I wore the compression sock and my shin didn't hurt at all during the workout and after.  I iced it afterwards and it feels great.

My coaches said no running until Monday.  So for some cross training I went pool running/ water jogging for 45 minutes.  It took me about 10 minutes to figure out how to not go backwards.  For arms I had some of the floating weights and I would use them for a length and then I would do a lap without them.  I'm not sure how many lengths and laps I did.

Today for cross training I took my bike to the track and I biked for 30 minutes.  I worked my arms just like when running, so I think it was a good workout. 

In the evening I went to the pool and did some poolrunning.  I did 12 lengths of poolrunning and then 12 lengths of swimming.  It was 1/3 mile I think, and took 45 minutes.

I found out that I don't have a stress fracture, its just a shin splint.

I went pool running for about 40 minutes. I did 1/3 a mile (24 lengths)

This morning I went poolrunning with Amanda.  We did 1/2 mile of pool running, and we did some of the lengths with water weights.  After we were done with the poolrunning we did a bit of freestyle of swimming.  I got in 1/4 mile of that.
