March 27-April 1 & PV Invite Recap

Ahh... Big sigh of relief!  The PV Invite is over and went so well.  Thank you, thank you for everyone who helped, and you all did such a great job.  We had so many compliments about how great the meet went, and it really was because of all the help from all of you.

For our team, we had some great performances.  Again Jacey started us very well in the first race of the meet.  Her 5:10 in the 1600 placed her 3rd, set a new PR for her, and continues her pursuit of the school record.  In the guys 1600, we got two big State Q's from Dallen and Carson.  There were many other PR's and great races from our distance crew.  In the 3200, we got State Q's from Carson (again & with a big PR - 9:40 - and 6th place finish), Dallen, Mitch and Julien; on the girls' side, we added Jessica, Josie and Ellie to our State Q list.  And the 4x800's took 3rd and 2nd, respectively.  Other strong distance races were recorded for Alex in the 800; and Xander, Mitch and Julien in the 1600. In the sprints, Kaylani Pr'ed in the 100; Jada in PR'ed in the 400; Samson and Colin led a solid boys' 400 crew; Jake took 5th in the 300, just missing out on his Q.  Our top field event marks were recorded by Amelia in the LJ, and Jakobe in the Jav and LJ.  It was another good early season meet.  We really look forward to the progress we will see throughout the year.

We, of course, have another busy week coming up:
Distance runners - Level 2 and 3's will have am practice at 5:30a Monday morning.  Anyone not wearing your camp shirt (preferred) or white will be wearing a vest for safety.

JV @ Cedar - on Tuesday, the JV will be heading up to Cedar HS for a meet.  This will be for most anyone that isn't an upper Varsity.  HS will be out at 2:00 for the bus at 2:15; and the MS out at 2:15 and the bus picking you up when we get there.  The meet starts at 4:00p and we will get back as soon as the meet is done.

K-8th Meet - PV track will be hosting a developmental camp (MEET) for grades K-8th at PVHS on Wednesday.  The meet will start at 3:45 for the 1600 and signups for the other events.  (We have to be done before 6:00, so that is the reason for the early start time.)  The cost is $1 per event (our PV kids can pay $3 to cover all events for both this meet and our next one in a couple weeks).  Youngsters will continue to practice on Monday and Thursday at 4:00p.

Hurricane Invite - Fri and Saturday is the Hurr. Invite at HHS.  This is a Varsity meet, but we will continue to try and get as many athletes into events as possible - we are limited to 6 / event at this meet.  The meet starts at 3:00p on Fri and 9:00a on Sat.  Athletes MUST ride the bus over to the meet, but may ride home with their parent after checking out with the coaches.  Bus info: Friday - HS out at 1:35 and bus leaving at 1:45, MS out at 1:45 and bus picking you up when we get there. Saturday - the bus will be leaving the HS at 7:45a.

Please remember our team meeting at 3:00 on Monday in the lecture hall at the high school.  You must be in attendance to sign up for the Cedar Meet.  We will also discuss the rest of the week and hear some sort of great inspirational/team building message (I'm sure!).

Again, thanks so much for all the great work and help over the weekend.  We couldn't be more proud of our great athletes!  There are great days ahead for PV Track and Field.
