Track Season is Starting!

9th-12th Grade -
The season begins on Tuesday the 21st!  We will begin with a short meeting in the lecture hall at PVHS at 3:00, followed up by practice out on the track.  We are very excited about all the athletes that are coming (or planning on coming) out, the improvements at our facilities (new shot, jav, and disc areas), and our coaching staff: Coach Aiono (throws), Coach Morgan (sprints/jumps), Coach Zabriskie (sprints/jumps/hurdles), Coach Roberts (distance), Coach Decker (distance), and Coach Holt.
Those athletes who are still finishing up a winter season, good luck at do well at State; we'll see you when your season is done.

Decathlon -
We are planning on having some multi-event days to help everyone learn about the different track and field events and help guide you to which events you would like to compete in.  On Mon-Wed Feb 27-March 1, we will be teaching and competing in 2-3 events/day.  This is a fun event and gets our season off to a great start.  Please plan on being at practice those days.

Please look at the Season Info Paper and bring back the signed back page to Coach Holt.

Elementary-Middle School -
PVHS will be hosting a developmental camp for kids who would like to learn more about the sport and participate in our youth meets (the schedule for these meets is still being finalized).
Our program will be supervised by Coach Martha Baker as well as the high school coaches and athletes.  The goal of our program is to provide interested youth an opportunity to learn the various aspects of track and field as well as receive supervised coaching and opportunities to train and compete.
We will practice on Mondays and Thursdays at 4:00p at PVHS.  These practices will start on Monday, February 27th.
A signed release form will be required to participate (will be posted soon), as well as a fee to help cover the coaching and racing cost; there will also be an option to by our club uniform for $20 (these totals will be updated/posted soon).
