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

Started the afternoon run with the team on Foothill.  Everyone was cruising today, I hung back with Sydney and even we were going 6:35 pace for part of it...  The team was doing Albertson's loop but going back on 1900e, on 2100s I continued down to 1300e and back to campus.  Then I rejoined the girls up at the track for drills and strides, and then hurdle drills.

Today we had our threshold workout at Liberty.  We warmed up to the park from the 900e Trax station, then did our strides and drills in the usual spot.  The workout was mile, mile and a half, mile and a half, mile.  20% rest, so about 72 seconds for the miles and 2 minutes for the mile and a half.  My times were 6:10, 9:13, 9:11, 6:09.  Not exactly up to speed, but at least they were consistent and I picked it up the second fast.  This workout went by fast and I really liked the way it was set up.  Afterwards I had 4 strides, then cooled down to the 900e Trax station to finish with 10 total for the day.  I did my knee rehab in the training room afterwards.  It hurt a little bit during the warmup (not during running but when I was stopped) but I didn't feel it the rest of the workout.

Trax run today!  Since we haven't used up our once-a-month allotment yet for October :)  We ran down 11th Avenue (I was actually on my own pretty much after the first mile... I wasn't pushing the pace or anything, but whatever...) and then I ran to the drinking fountain up City Creek before going down behind the capitol and then down Main Street and then over to South Temple and back to campus.

We had a workout at Sugarhouse today.  Despite the rain, I liked it better than last time because it wasn't windy!  We warmed up around the perimeter of the park (I saw two of my cousins during the warmup!) and then did our strides and drills from the pavillion.  For our workout we were going to use the same loop as last time, but with slight alteration because of the workout.  The workout was going to start and finish with a 500, but everything in between was a "luck of the draw" so we drew them after each rep to see what we would have next.  Each rep had 80% of time recovery.  In the hat were two more 500s, an 800, 900, 1000, 1100, and 1200.  I started the first 500 with Andrea and AuraLea and Becky, but I didn't want to mess up their pace by doing that the whole workout, so I took the next few on my own.  The time for the first 500 was 1:54.  Not quite up to speed but still warming up I guess.  The draw that time was an 800, I ran 2:55.  Then the 900, 3:20.  Then our first 5 on which I hit 1:46, better.  Then we got the 1000, I ran a 3:38.  Then the 1200, 4:26.  Then the other 5, but from there it was nice because we knew it was just the 1100 and then the final 500.  This time I hit 1:54 (or 1:50, those were my times for the last two 5s but I can't remember which was which).  On the 1100 I ran with Andrea and AuraLea, but I was definitely struggling.  That was a 4:09.  I really liked the workout, I just wish I could have been more mentally focused.  I talked to Kep afterwards, and I am going to pull it together for an A++ workout on Monday.  For cooldown we did another lap around the perimeter of the park, then I finished to 10.

5 miles in the morning on my own.  Out past Sugarhouse and back.

In the afternoon the group was me, Jessica, Sydney, Kenzie, and Becky.  They wanted a new route, so we sorta got creative and ran through the golf course, down 1300s to 1500e, over to 1700s and then back to campus along 15th and Guardsman.  Then to get to 8 I ran out to North Campus and back on the road above the track.

Long run in Park City today.  About a mile in, I picked up the pace and then Lauren and I ran together until mile 4 when she turned around.  The rest of the way was kinda lonely, but it was a nice run.
