March 20-25 (PV Invite) and SC Invite Recap

SUPER BIG WEEK COMING UP!
This week is our PV Invite!  This is one of the largest high school hosted meets in the state.  We have always put on a great meet, and so a lot of schools attend.  So WE NEED EVERYONE'S HELP THIS WEEKEND!  We will be using everyone to help with field and track events, timing, imputing results, working concessions, and all sorts of other things.  Some of you will be excused all day Friday to help with setup.  On Friday, everyone else will be out at 11:00a to get lunch and then back to the meet at 11:30 to help setup.  MS'ers, you will need to arrange a ride to get to the HS.  On Saturday, everyone will need to be to the track at 8:00a to help setup.
Drinks: Remember girls and guys have been asked to bring drinks to help with the concessions.  Check out the post from last week to see what you've been assigned.

Other Info -
Distance Runners: Workouts are posted - Level 2's and 3's will have a long run early Monday morning.  Please be on time, and PLEASE wear your camp shirt for safety!

Snow Canyon Invite Recap: We had a great first meet of the season a couple weeks ago.  Usually we have one All-Comers before our first invite, so we didn't know what to expect right off the bat.  Nonetheless, we had some great performances.  The first meet of the Utah Track and Field season saw Jacey Finch get a big win in the 1600, hitting a PR and State Q with a 5:13.  Jessica Hill took 3rd and Addi Baker 8th.  Xander Reese (5th) and Logan Hall (7th) scored points in the boys 1600.  Samson Doyle had a very solid 400 prelims (53.1 in his first 400 ever).  The girls took 1-4 in the 3200 with Rylee Holt taking the win and hitting a State Q followed by Caroline Clements, Josie Bushar, and Ellie Bushar.  The boys 3200 saw Panthers taking 3-5 and 8-10.  Leading the pack was Carson Horspool who hit his State Q, then Mitch Price (who missed his SQ by .4), and Dallen Gillespie.  Other strong performances came from Samson and Jacob Mpungi who made finals in the 100, Jake McArthur with finals in the 110's and 300's, Jada Chepkwurui in the 400, Jacey 2nd in the 800, Logan and Colton Staheli in the 800 (2nd and 3rd), Amelia Goebel with a 5th place finish in the HJ, Celeste Fiame taking 5th in the Jav, Dylan Miraglia finishing 3rd in the Jav, and Colin Tudor 6th in the LJ.  Both boys and girls teams finished a solid 5th in the 10 team scoring meet.  It was a good start to the season.  Not only did we have the great marks mentioned above, but we had many of our younger athletes do very well in their first meet.

Good things are happening with PV Track and Field!  Let's keep it rolling with hard work and dedication.  Remember, everything you put in now - all the effort, time, commitment - will pay off for you.  I promise it will!  Work hard now and earn great rewards, soon.

YOUNGSTERS: Our K-8th grade program is continuing to grow.  This week we will have practice on our usual Monday and Thursday schedule at 4:00-4:45.  Our first meet is coming up next week on Wednesday the 29th at 3:45 at PVHS.  Registration will be $1/event, unless you have paid the $3 fee to cover all events at our two PV meets.  We also need to collect the $10 registration and participation form.  Checks should be made out to PVXC Club and given to Coach Martha or Coach Holt (please don't pay to HS Finance Office because this program is run separately from the HS - Thanks).
