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

Today we had workout on the bailiff. We did the usual warmup above the track and across north campus, and then our strides and drills on bailiff. The workout was 4 sets of two 400s and a 600. Bekah and I ran together, we were supposed to hit 80 for the 400s and then for the 600 drop 1 second each 200 split. When we came through our first one in 1:30 we knew it was long... my Garmin said .28. We sorta cut our corners after that, and I don't remember all of the splits, but the second 400 in the first set was a 1:27, and the 600 was 2:11. The rest after the 400s was 70 seconds, and 3 minutes after the 600.  Our times kept coming down, 1:25, 1:24, 1:21, even a 1:20 on the last one I think.  The other times for the 600s were 2:08, 2:06, 2:05.  For cooldown I started with the group on the road above the track, then I added on up to 11th Avenue, then back to the training room to finish with 11.

3 exams this week... and 2 labs today because I will be missing Thursday, so I ran 10 miles on my own this morning.  I ran up on 11th Avenue and then down City Creek, got a drink at the fountain by the ranger station, then kept going to the capitol.  I ran behind it and then down Main Street to North Temple, up to State Street and then over to South Temple to go back to campus.

2 exams today.  So I skipped weights and did my workout at Liberty Park in the morning.  I warmed up and did my strides and drills on my own, then Kep joined me for the workout.  It was 2 sets of 11 minute threshold, with 2 minute recovery.  Then four 30 second strides.  Then I cooled down to hit 10 for the day.

Last exam this morning!  And then flew to Stanford!  There was some confusion about when were going to leave as a group, so I only ended up getting 6, and wasn't going to add on since I knew people were eager to go get dinner and come back and watch TV.  After dinner I went to bed early and didn't run again.

11 hours of sleep was awesome!  I went for a 3 mile run when I woke up to make sure I was really awake.  It was cold outside but felt so nice!  A few hours later I went running again with the team.  It had warmed up by then, but still not too hot :)  We ran around campus and then did some strides in a field.  Then we came back to the hotel to finish with 4.

This morning at the course we started our warmup about an hour before our scheduled start time for the race.  After our strides and drills, we grabbed our spikes and went over to the line to check in.  We were in box 1... that was going to be tough since all of the other teams would be running angled towards us since the course goes to the left close to the start.  I decided to let Andrea go on the front line since I know she is a faster starter then me.  And I actually wasn't paying attention when the gun went off, one of the officials had just come by and told us to tuck our shirts in, and then Becky was telling the race was about to start, and then it did.  But for a 6k, I wasn't going to worry about a bad start affecting the outcome of the race.  And actually the start wasn't bad, and I went out just how I wanted to.  I think I was last on our team going out, but I know everyone starts fast at this race, so I wasn't worried.  I just sorta relaxed the firs 2k, moved around groups and kept moving up.  Bekah was with the pack ahead of me, and she passed them and kept going, then I passed that pack and kept going.  Right at about 3k I made a surge and passed a large pack of Stanford girls, who didn't try to stick with me, then Kep shouted to me that I was 13th.  Bekah was just a few spots up, and when she would pass someone I would pass them not to long after.  Going into the final loop, I passed Bekah, but she must have been close by the rest of the time.  I knew I was in 7th then, and could see two girls and then further up 2 girls.  I closed the gap on the nearest 2, and kept working towards the other two.  Coming out of the turn in the big loop I caught one, and then down the hill I worked towards the other and passed her.  I knew it would be tough holding on until the finish.  Then someone caught up to me, and it was Bekah!  The only girls left in front of us were two Stanford girls.  We both maintained our positions as we finished the race.  I don't know my official time yet, but I was really hoping to beat my time from last year.  I was sorta sad that I didn't.  But I did place higher, which was awesome.  And I can say that I have taken 4th at all of my races this season... I wouldn't complain about that at Pre-Nats or Conference or Regionals!  Afterwards we cooled down together, I was with Nikki most of the time.  I finished at 9 for the day.  Then Bekah and I did an interview with Flotrack, that was kinda neat.  Our next race isn't for 3 weeks, so it will be nice to take that time to recover and get some good workouts in.
