Week of April 4-10

A big sigh of relief...
We had a great Pine View Invite last weekend!  And it couldn't have happened without all your help.  Athletes, parents, volunteers - thank you all!

First a run down of what is happening this week and then we'll review last week.

Tuesday is the final Youngsters Meet held at PV.  Everyone make sure you are there to help after practice.  Next Tuesday, April 12th, DHHS will take their turn hosting the Youngsters Meet - still at 4:30.

DHHS Multi's and Distance Carnie:  This meet will be held at DHHS on Thurs and Fri.  There will be a bus leaving PVHS right at the end of school (out at 2:30, leaving at 2:40); we will then go pick up the Middle Schoolers (who won't need to be released early).  Same bus schedule for both days.  Athletes may drive themselves and any siblings (but not with anyone else) with a signed release form - simply because we will be having a lot of athletes traveling to this meet.  We will make sure our races are set on Wednesday, so be at practice.

The Milford Invite on Sat. that we were planning on going to earlier in the year has been called off for us.  So we will have no meet on Saturday.

Look for a possible team party on Saturday afternoon at the park - we need to eat all the extra food from the Invite!

recap of last week:

The PV Invite was a huge success.  The smaller number of schools made the meet very manageable and everything went very smoothly (even with the weird throwing locations).  We had many more Herriman Qualifiers, and got State Qualifiers from Nick (2nd Place) and Rylee (4th) in the 1600, Mitch, Preston, Jacey (4th), and Meskerem in the 3200.  Cierra in the 300h (3rd), Paul in the 800, Kaytlin (3rd) in the disc.  And Neitana improved his state qualifying throw in the jav for the win.  Other finalist/placers were Keaton in the 110h, Alli in the 800, the boys 4x800 team that took 3rd, and the girls medley that took 3rd.  And a huge shout out to the Girls 4x800 of Jacey, Rylee, Caroline and Meskerem that set a new school record with a time of 10:00.46!

• Sprint Boys: Sampson Doyle - Sophomore, Herriman qualified and PR'ed in the 100 with at time of 11.75
