Running Accomplishments:

I have been running ever since my 7th grade year when I joined the junior high track team. When I made the move to High School I jumped right into XC and then to track. Had the opportunity to run at Nike Cross Regionals in Arizona with my team this last season. My PR's are: Mile- 4:54, 2 mile: 10:32, 800m: 2:13, 5K: 17:07, 400: 57 sec.

 

Short-Term Running Goals:

My goals for thie track season is to qualify for state in one of the three main distance events. I'm focusing on getting there for the mile with the rest of my team but would be happy with any that may come my way. 800m: 2:00, Mile: 4:26, 2 Mile: 10:05.

 

Long-Term Running Goals:

I would love to run in college after high school but if that doesn't pan out then my goal is to stay active with running, maybe get into running half or full marathons.

Personal:

Diabetic Asmatic. Found out I had type-1 diabetes right before my first year running XC for my high school. I had asthma as a kid and it went away and recently came back last track season, I didn't find out about it until this last XC season so my PR's aren't quite where I want the to be. Once I began treating my asthma my PR for the 5k dropped by a minute so I'm excited to see how that translates to this track season. Member of Team Pre, follow us @team_pre on instagram!

Race: Distance Challenge (1 Miles) 00:04:54
Total Distance
9.00

Distance challenge at the Utah Olympic Ice Oval today. I decided to run the 1600 and the 3200. We warmed up a mile before the 1600 and then we went and ran it. My legs weren't feeling the best but I was still able to pull off a new PR and got 4:54! This is my first official time breaking 5 minutes in the mile (my watch told me I got a 4:57 at Nike Cross Regionals during XC). I told my coach that my legs felt horrible so she recommended that after I cooled down I should elevate my legs, so I did. They were feeling better but I was just not mentally there while waiting the three hours until the 3200 would start. I warmed up 2 miles with Sean and felt better but still wasn't feeling very good. I ended up getting a 10:44 and that's all I'm really going to say about it, it was horrible. After I cooled down a mile on the track with my teammates to get my miles up to 9.
