My First High School Practice
I joined the high school team at LaPorte High School, home of the slicers, and had my first cross country practice ever on Aug. 1, 2005. -
First Day of High School
I still can't believe it when I look at this photo! I used to wear basketball shorts and shoes when I ran! Like most people, I didn't like running very much at all. -
Sectionals
I think this is what actually sparked my interest in running, winning! haha After a long summer of training I ended up running varsity and we won the Sectional! -
Semi-State
After placing 3rd at our Regional we qualified for the Semi-State meet! Unfortunately we were 10th place and only the top 5 teams make it out! But that left us hungry for next season! -
Winter Running Stinks
As a freshman, I knew that running in the snow wasn't fun. So I basically sat around all winter and got out of shape! -
1st Day of Cross Country Practice
We started cross country practice once again! This time though, I had run track and was in good shape entering my sophomore year! -
Conference Meet!
This year we had a great team! We went threw the conference undefeated and won the conference meet! -
Sectionals
We won again! For the 7th year in a row my high school won the sectional meet! I placed 4th! -
Semi-State 2006
In our worst race of the year we placed 6th at the New Prairie Semi-State. It was a sad day for our team after we were expected to go to the state meet. -
Winter Running Still Stinks
Once again, I didn't run during the winter because....... it's freezing in Indiana and it snows A LOT! So, I played basketball and got out of shape! :) -
Start of Junior Season!
The start of my junior year was very exciting! We were ranked top 10 in the Pre-State rankings and we had a GREAT summer of training. Expectations were very high! -
Conference
For the first time in school history we repeated as Conference Champs! We had won a streak of 14 Dual meets in a row in a span of 2 years! I placed second at the race, earning myself all-conference. We also ended the regular season only losing to 2 teams, one of which was the National Champions. -
Sectional Champs!
For the 8th year in a row our team won the Sectional! I again placed 2nd behind my senior teammate! -
Regional Champs!
For the first time in school history we won the regionals! Again I got 2nd behind my teammate as our top 3 runners went 1-2-3 at the race! -
SEMI-STATE CHAMPS!
For the first time in school history we won the Semi-State! I placed 5th in the race! We finally would be making the trip to state as the 2nd ranked team in the state! -
STATE MEET
We placed 2nd at the State Finals! We didn't run great, but we'll take the silver! Great year! My teammate won state and I placed 27th.
