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

After school for workout today we had a speed workout.  We started with a mile warmup and a mile of speedchanges on the track.  My left calf was very sore from Saturday, so after the warmup I stretched everything out, and then it wasn't so bad.  First we did a mile, my time was 5:45, then 2 laps recovery.  Then some of the group got to do 200s, but I did two 800s.  The first time Tomy and I were the only ones that did the 800 since the others got confused.  We had a lap recovery after each, and my times were 2:44 and 2:48.  Then we did a 400, I hit 1:21, took a lap recovery.  Then we did four 200s with 1 minute standing recovery.  My times were 38, 38, 38, 37.  Then Bill was mean and lied to us and we had 2 more, I hit 38 and 37.  Then we did 2 stadium laps cooldown.  I'm surprised how my legs didn't feel very tired at the start of the workout.  Even at the end they weren't that tired.  And then the cooldown felt nice.  When I got home I took a 10 minute ice bath, then did my crunches, pushups, and arm swings.

This morning for workout we started with the VA loop for warmup.  Then in the side field we did 12 continuous strides from the halfway point of the field up the hill to the fence, walking backwards down the hill and jogging back to the start.  Then we did 2 stadium laps cooldown.

After school we ran up Sunnyside past the zoo and then along Wasatch Drive to 1300s, down to 1900e and finishing at the stadium.  Afterwards when I got home I took a 10 minute ice bath and then did my crunches, pushups, and arm swings.

This morning I did 2 miles on my own.

The meet today was at Sugarhouse.  For warmup we did about 2 miles going over parts of the course.  Then we changed shoes and got to the line for strides.  In the race we were supposed to go out fast, run a 6:20 first mile, and then tempo run 7:10s for the rest of the race.  When the race started Natalie and I took the lead immediately, I think our start was fast enough.  For the beginning we could head people behind us, but I don't know what school it was but they didn't hold on long.  At the first mile Natalie and I were at 6:23, so just about right.  Then at mile 2 we were at 13:33 which means we hit what we were supposed to for the 2nd mile.  After coming around the pond Natalie had gapped me a little bit and then I tried to outkick her but she won by 2 seconds.  We don't really know our pace for the last mile because it was short.  Afterwards I did about 2 miles running backwards on the course cheering for the guys.  When I got home I did my pushups, crunches, and arm swings.

This morning for workout we left the stadium and went to Bonneville gully.  We did a full lap around and then a partial lap until we reached the other exit.  It was so fun and scary because it was dark in there, except for about 3 street lights and spots where the moonlight shone.  On the second lap I was in front of the pack and I was trying to find out where the fence was with the hole in it and I ran right through it without noticing until I hit my head on it.  When we got back to the stadium we did 10 strides in the side field.  Then 2 stadium laps cooldown. 

Later in the day I did my pushups, crunches, and arm swings :)

After arriving at Cedar and getting settled and cheering on some of the JV girls, I warmed up with Natalie and Amanda.  We did 2 miles, and then changed shoes and took another POTTY break since they were 10 minutes late on the racce before ours.  I took my Gu, and then we got over to the line.  We did strides on the line for a while since they took a while to get us started.  We had fun singing songs and stuff.  We also realized we all had blue armpits from our new sweats haha.  Finally they explained the course.  Then, I wouldn't have even realized they were starting if I didn't see the guy with the gun, the race began.  I got out fast and took the lead immediately.  I could hear girls behind me through the first mile.  Then I was alone for most of the second, but then a little after mile 2 I got passed.  I tried to stay with the girl but it is kinda hard on sharp turns.  And my stomach was hurting, I should not have eaten all those peanut butter bars yesterday...  Getting closer to the finish I was trying to close on the girl but she just kept gapping me.  No one else came in contact and I finished second.  Afterwards I did a mile and a half cooldown with Natalie and Amanda. 

Later at the hotel I did my arm swings :)

This morning Amanda and I did a run in St. George.  We ran along one of the roads by the hotel which took us down to the main road.  Then we turned down a street because we could see the temple and wanted to go closer to it.  We did a lap around the block it was on, and then ran over by part of the marathon course.  Then we went back up on the main road up to the hotel, where we went out a little farther and back.  Then I needed a half mile more than Amanda since I cut my cooldown short yesterday so I went out another quarter and back.  Then I did my arm swings.
