Thought of the Week - "Start where you are. Not where you want to be. Not where you think you should be. Not where others think you should be. But where you are. Little by little becomes a lot."

-Brad Stulberg

Now is the time to start. Maybe you worked out a lot in the last few weeks; maybe you didn't do anything (and maybe feel a little scared to start or even ashamed that you didn't do what you should have). No big deal. We can't change the past (although we can learn from it), so might as well get started. NOW IS THE TIME TO START!

Winter Schedule:

We will be conditioning in the winter (for those that don’t have a winter sport). The goal is to get in shape and get ready for the season. Like everything, the more work you put in at the beginning, the more progression you allow for later). CONSISTENCY IS KEY! We will be continuing the week we get back from winter break.

• Distance - Monday-Thursday at 3:00p and Fridays at 12:45p (we will include some mornings eventually)

• Sprints and Jumps - Monday and Wednesday afternoons at 3:00p (we will eventually add more days)

• Throws - Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at 3:00p (we will eventually add more days)

Indoor/Winter meet schedule - Let the coaches know if you’d like to attend any of these meets and we’ll help you get signed up.

STUFF FOR THE OUTDOOR TRACK SEASON: 

Paperwork / Physical / Fee – you need to have your paperwork and physical done before you can come out to official practice in mid-Feb. To do this, go to registermyathlete.com and get registered for either boys or girls track. If you have a physical on file at school (for this year), you are good. If not, print out the paperwork (or get it in the office) and get your physical taken care of and turned into Kara in the office.You’ll also need to pay your $100 participation fee before you can come out to official practice.

 

Grades – Your 3rd quarter grades determine your eligibility for most of the season… so make sure they are good! (2nd quarter for the 1st meet of the season)

 

OFFICIAL TRACK PRACTICE – Officially, we will start up on Tues, Feb

17th. We will practice each afternoon from 3:00-4:30/5:00 (some people may have morning practice). Those in a Winter sport will begin attending when their seasons end.

Practice Schedule and Expectations - 

It is expected that athletes will attend each practice. Failure to do so may result in inability to compete in meets and possibly a dismissal from the team. We all have different circumstances, so it is a MUST that you talk to Coach Holt if you are not able to attend a practice.

Practice will be held Mon-Thurs at 3:00 and after school on Fri at the PVHS track.  

Each Monday, we will meet in the lecture hall for a short team meeting. Please be there - the first meeting will be Tues the 17th.  

Spring Track Schedule – is posted on the track blog.

 

Gear – You will need to pre-order your gear. Everyone must have a uniform singlet (we will be using the black tops we got last year); they are $50; you also need one of the team shorts which are purchased on your own through the links provided on the blog.

The spirit pack will be posted on the blog when available - No spirit pack gear is required (and it is not the official uniform, just practice gear). Watch for when the spirit pack is posted and closes. This gear must be paid for by your own $.

 

Fundraiser – To help cover the cost of all sorts of things, we are asking each athlete to participate in our fundraiser. Your first $50 will go toward the team; the remainder of your money can go toward:

• $35/$70 hotel fee (every athlete who travels to BYU (and/or) State is required to pay this fee - $35 per night) 

• Uniform ($50 singlet - shorts you will purchase on your own through links provided on the blog) 

• $100 participation fee (if you are using your fundraiser to pay your participation fee, PLEASE talk to Coach Holt first!)  

• But, unfortunately, NOT your spirit pack (this is separate from your uni and is ordered on your own).

PV Track & Field fundraising opportunities this season:

Sponsor Level	Benefit	Cost
Maroon	Business Name Placed on the Back of the Invite T-Shirt	$50
Silver	Above + a Business Link on the Team Website	$100
Black	All of the Above + Business Name Listed on the Invite Program Sponsoring a Specific Event at the Invite	$150

There are a lot of businesses out there that are willing to help sponsor, so ask around. The sponsor check should be taken to the finance office and get a receipt to show to Coach. (You can go to our website, pvtrack.blogspot, to see examples of the advertising.) Get started on it ASAP!  Sponsors must be turned in by March 2nd.  

PV INVITE help:

PV hosts one of the largest high school invitationals in the state.  This year it is on the 20-21st of March.  I know there are always events scheduled and things going on, but we will really need every athlete to plan on helping at the meet.  So please free up your schedule this weekend.  We will also need help from parents to run concessions and help with the timing and managing events.

May 12 - 17

***Tickets to State for Parents/Fam/Fans***

Great job at Region everyone. Congrats to all our Region placers and medalists, to our State Qualifiers, and to the girls for the absolutely dominant win! And before we go too far, thanks to all those who helped out with the Ironman. Some of the jobs were boring and others kept you on your toes, but thanks for being there and willing to help support our team.

Now it's time to get that final push for State. We will have a team meeting at 3:00p in the PV lecture hall tomorrow. We'll go over events, strategy, and a few other things to get prepped. Check back here on Monday or Tuesday for the full itinerary for this coming weekend. We will take a few alternates for our relays and (maybe, if there are spots on the bus and in the hotel) a few others up with us. So make sure you're around if you want that to be you. 

*please note - please check sporttrax to make sure we didn't miss any qualifiers. Entries have to be in by Sunday evening, so we need mistakes caught before then.*

MEET RECAP:

Region - A rundown of our finalists and SQs for the boys: Kwade made finals in the 100 (but we pulled him for injury); Nick took 3rd and Carter B. 5th in the 400 to advance to State; Benji took 7th in the 800; Elliot took 3rd in the 1600 to make 8 State Qualifiers in the boys 1600, Nate took 7th and Ben 8th; Nate and Ben took 2nd and 3rd in the 3200 to make it to State, and Dustin took 7th; Burkley took 8th in the shot with a nice PR; and Paul and Tray took 3rd and 7th in the Long Jump; the boys 4x400 took 3rd; and our lone Region Champ for the boys was the 4x800 team of Kyle, Carter R., Jake, and Carson.

We greatly appreciate the parents working to get things (food and drinks) together for our athletes up at State. Here's the message from Randi if you didn't get it:

Hi parents,

This is Randi Conrad I was hoping to get some help providing sandwiches, healthy snacks and drinks for our athletes this year for state track.  BYU doesn't have many options for our athletes and I feel our athletes will do even more amazing if we could help them out with food at the meet. 

I will need to borrow some big coolers

I will gladly accept donations of drinks, snacks and money. 

I think fruit and vegetables would be an amazing things to have available.

I won't be able to do this without everybody's help. I'm not sure where to start and  I would love any ideas or suggestions you have.

My email is jadeandrandi@gmail.com 

You can text me (435)632-4277 my Venmo is @Ran-con

Thank you, I'm so excited for our team this year!

May 5 - 10 *UPDATED with IRONMAN info for SATURDAY*

*IRONMAN UPDATE*** Parents please help you athlete be here to this... we need everyone's help. Here's the spreadsheet with info about where you should be. (Here is the pdf with a full description of each location and job.) We sent out an email with info about meeting time and stuff for THIS SATURDAY, but in case you didn't get it, here it is... 

Hey {first name},

We are excited to get the Ironman here THIS SATURDAY! My name is Dave Holt, and I'm the Run Pointer Captain. 

We've been working hard to make sure we fill all our spots. So thank you so much for volunteering.  Most of you are members of the Pine View HS track team, but we'll also be joined by some other members of the community who are also volunteering (excited to have you with us). 

For the High School team: we are going to gather at Hurst Ace Hardware (160 N Bluff St) at 8:30 on Saturday to organize everyone, get our shirts, and get assigned to our spots. PLEASE BE THERE and on time! (and remember that certain roads and routes might be closed off, so plan plenty of time to get there.) We will then scatter to our spots for the day. Please bring plenty of WATER, FOOD for lunch and snacks, sunscreen, and anything else you think you'll need (maybe a lawn chair to sit when you get a chance, clothes appropriate for the weather, etc). You're going to be at your spot pretty much all day, so plan on it. 

For our Community Volunteers: if you have the first shift, you can also join us at the same gathering location to get organized and get your shirt. Those who have later shifts, you can just report to the location you signed up for at the appropriate time and we will get your shirt to you then - or if you don't have specific spot, shoot me a text anytime and we'll get one set for you.

If you need anything during the shift, my number is 801-834-8524. 

This google doc has a spreadsheet for our shifts (and for the HS team, your location and who you are working with). Please feel free to grab another friend or two and bring them along with you to keep life entertaining. I can't guarantee a shirt for them, but I'll try and steal a few extra!

thanks

=========================================================================

There really haven't been too many weeks better in PV Track and Field history than what we just had. Huge congrats to the entire team on just a great week. We are so proud of our JV athletes who finished up their seasons with great races and events up and JV Region and SUU. Thanks for coming out and being part of this team. Non-Seniors, we hope that you keep coming back with even more passion and knowledge and keep our team growing in the future. Seniors, thanks for everything you've done to make PV Track the amazing program that it is.

That all being said, it isn't all goodbyes and see-you-laters... we have more work to do. This week we head into Region and are really gearing up for State. We will have a team meeting at 3:00p in the PV lecture hall tomorrow to go over Region plans and strategy. Everyone competing at Region (or if you think you might be, or if you are still wanting to come out and be part of the team for the next couple weeks but your racing is done) please be there.

*please note - entries in sporttrax for region are not set (or even real!); entries will be updated Sunday and Monday*

MEET RECAP:

JV Region - Congrats to the boys 4x100 for getting their State Qualifier. We also had some really great results from others: Julia was 4th in the 100h; Porter R. 7th and Josiah 8th in the 110h; Mia 6th in the 300h; Josiah 7th in the 300h; Andi 8th in the 400; Sydney 2nd, Vanessa 3rd, and Dagen 8th in the 800; Benji 1st, Mason 3rd, and Carson 5th in the 800; Sydney 2nd in the 1600; Trevor 2nd in the 1600, Joseph 4th, and Dustin 5th; Kyler 8th in the discus; Isi 5th, Julia 7th, and Mia 8th in the Long Jump; and Porter G. and Cooper tying for 4th in the High Jump. We had a lot of other great PRs and Season's Bests as well. Overall the boys took 2nd and the girls took 3rd - very impressive for our team which isn't nearly as big as most of the other Region teams. Results

SUU Invite - We had a very good meet up at SUU with great weather (until the jav debacle). Kwade took 3rd in the 100 and hit his State Qualifier in the 200. Nick took 5th in the 400. In the 800 Tevye was 3rd, Avery 4th, and Andi 6th. Tevye won the 1600, with Avery 2nd, and Sariah 3rd. Trevor took 2nd in the 1600, Nate took 4th, and Ben finished 8th. Avery won the 3200 and earned her State Qualifier. Nate won the 3200 for the boys. Aspen won the discus and took 8th in the javelin. Claire took 5th in the high jump. Sydney took 3rd in the Steeple. And Coach Jason took 4th in the 1600 and Coach Janz pulled off the rare 1600/200 double win! Results

BYU Invite - 2nd Place team for the ladies... very impressive for 7 girls and only 1 relay! The guys did a great job, too, even with some sickness taking away solid points. Ashley set a new School Record in the 100 to take 4th and Jade place a very strong 7th. Elsie also hit a nice PR in the 100. Tori just missed scoring in the 100h with a 9th place finish, but still ran a very strong time. In the 200, Jade put up an enormous PR with a spectacular time to take 2nd and set a new School Record. Ashley was not far off, breaking her own previous school record and taking 3rd. Emmalee ran a nice PR in the 800 to take 7th and put herself as the #1 seed in 4A. In the boys 800, Bridger just missed his PR and ran his third 1:53 of the season. Kyle, Jake, and Bender all hit PRs. Jake and Elliot hit PRs in the 1600. Kiera set another School Record in the discus with a huge throw in the finals to take 1st. Mailey made finals and took 9th (a big accomplishment for a freshman). Mailey also PRd in the shot, and Kiera took 3rd with a strong set of throws. The boys 4x800 of Kyle, Carter, Elliot, and Jake just missed our school record and took 4th overall. Ashley tied the School Record (from 1993) to take 5th in long jump. Tori hit a season's best high jump to take 3rd. And... a huge shout out to the girls 4x100 of Elsie, Ashley, Tori, and Jade for their tremendous 4x100 to take the win and set a NEW STATE RECORD! 2025 Performance Chart (not quite updated yet... but soon). Results
