Week of April 2 - 7 and Cedar JV Recap

We hope you have all had a great weekend and are ready for a big push to the end of the year.  Thanks for making last week such a great one.  The JV meet was good and the Youth Meet went very well thanks to all your help. 
Let's give a quick recap of a cold and windy Cedar JV Meet from last Tuesday.  Although the meet was shortened due to the cold and the length, we still had many great performances.  The distance crew started us well with Pyper and Addi going 1, 2 in the 1600.  We also a big PR from Kylee in her 1600 to take 7th!  Jose, Tavin, and Tyler all scored in the top 8 for the boys.  James looked good taking the win in the boys 110h.  In the girls 100, Brynlee recorded our fastest time of the season. The girls 400 saw Jada, Kathya, and Caroline all in the top 8.  And in the boys 400, Jaron and Josh both took top 8 honors.  Claire took 5th in her first 300h ever, and James placed 2nd in the guys race. In the 800 Pyper placed 2nd leading 5 Panthers in the top 8 including Sylvia, Gracie, Caroline, and Jenessa. Tavin, Tyler, Scottie placed in the top 8 for the boys.  In the field events, Brianna placed 7th in the LJ, Brynlee 5th in the Jav, Gina 2nd in the Shot, Dallin 3rd in the HJ, Mitch 2nd in the LJ (with a very solid PV debut of 17-10), followed by Kobe and Dallin in 5th and 6th, Colben placed 2nd and Jaron 6th in the Jav, and finally Nick set a new PR of 107 in the Disc to place 2nd.  Both teams placed solid 3rd's. 

Athletes of the Week: Get your nominations in (via text or email).  We will present them before practice on Tuesday.  For those of you who weren't at the meet, maybe take a look through the results on runnercard or at athletic.net and nominate a teammate who is notable.

Schedule for the Week:
Monday - practice at 8:00a at PVHS unless noted otherwise by your event coach.  PLEASE BE THERE! Now is the time of the season when each of us can really start to see big improvements if we are putting the work in.
Tuesday - Thursday - regular practice schedule
Friday & Saturday -  Hurricane Invite at HHS.  Here is a link to the schedule (click "schedule" at the top of the page).  This is a Varsity meet with 6 athletes allowed per event.  We will get as many athletes in as possible - next week we will have the Panther Relays on Tuesday (April 10) where every athlete will get to compete).  Bus/Release Schedule: On Friday, HS'ers will be out at 1:35 and MS'ers will be out at 1:45.  The meet starts at 3:00.  On Saturday, the bus will leave from the HS at 7:45.  All athletes must ride the bus over to the meet to compete.  This next announcement is for the parents... please read... To leave the meet with a parent, athletes MUST be signed out with his/her parent.  Also, we are really trying to build our team atmosphere by having athletes stay until the end of the meet and cheer on their teammates.  If parents want to leave before the end of the meet, athletes should stay and ride the bus home with the teamAlso, athletes missing practice (unexcused, before the missed practice) will not be competing at the meet.

Thought of the Week: You may have caught this retweeted by @pvxctrack... "Constantly asking yourself, 'How am I feeling?' as if that is the most important question is a slippery slope because you end up focusing solely on those ineffective feeling.  Instead, decide who you want to be, then do what it takes to be that person, regardless of how you feel." - Justin Su'a
