Please be patient with the coaches this week - we will be stressed! It's the week of the PV Invite one of the fastest, biggest, and best meets in Utah. Please be prepared to help all week and especially on Friday and Saturday.
Athletes of the Week:
We will be honoring our past two weeks at Monday's meeting...
Get your nominations in for this week (via text or email). List the name and a short reason why he/she has earned it. These need to be submitted by Monday at lunch.
Schedule for the Week:
Monday - regular practice schedule with a team meeting in the PVHS lecture hall. (Distance runners check your schedule, for long run in the morning at 5:45a - wear white/bright clothing.)
Tuesday - JV at Desert Hills. Those going to the meet... bus leaves the HS right at the end of school MS: catch a bus over to the HS right after school and get out to the team bus quickly. Meet starts at 4:00p. Those not competing... you will have normal practice at the HS.
Wednesday & Thursday - regular practice schedule.
Friday & Saturday - Pine View Invite. We will get as many athletes as possible into this meet (but priority will be given to the Varsity level athletes). There are no buses for this meet. Freshman need to arrange a ride to get up to the meet. Everyone will be excused after lunch to help at the meet. You are all expected to be out to the track at 11:30a. We will be asking that athletes stay throughout the meet to promote team unity and to help with all the jobs the meet entails.
Here is the schedule for the meet (click the schedule link at on the top left).
Important Announcements for the PV Invite... please read - we'll leave this up here for for just one more week... The dance has been moved to the Saturday of the PV Invite. It is imperative that ALL athletes are at the meet Friday and Saturday to help at the meet (on other dance/meet days, we will try and work schedules out as best as possible, but this time you MUST be there). So please plan your day date (or tell your dance date) with this in mind. Saturday meet clean up usually finishes by 2:00p. I know this is a pain, but PLEASE plan on being available to help.
Parent Help - We will need a lot of parent help at the Invite. If you are willing to volunteer to work in the concessions, at the timing tent, or with the field event weigh-ins, please let Coach Holt know ASAP (pineviewtrack@gmail.com or reply to the Remind text) - we've had some say they are willing to help, but we could use more... You will be hearing from us early in the week with assignments.
Drinks - We are asking each team member to bring drinks to sell at the concession (please donate if you can!)
Freshmen - Junior Girls - water: a case of 16.9 oz water bottles
Senior Girls and all Boys - sports drink (such as Gatorade or Powerade): an 8-14 pack of 20 oz bottles (there are many sizes, please get the 20 oz bottles for consistency)
Performance Chart: The first edition of our PV Track and Field Performance Chart based upon our Scoring Tables has been updated for the SC Invite. We use this to rate performance across events and gender as well as to help us decide who will travel to away invitationals. In this first week we see Alli (1600) and Marcus (200, 100) at the top of the chart.
Herriman Qualifying Marks: These are the marks Herriman used last year for their invite. I would imagine they will be very similar this year. Please note the comment at the bottom of the page.
Youngsters: Practice for our 6th-8th grade developmental camp will be held Monday and Thursday from 3:00-4:00 at PVHS. Get paperwork at practice. Youth meet (for grades K-8th) schedule has been updated.
NCAA Tournament Challenge: For years we have had a track and XC tournament challenge. And although Coach Holt has never won, this is the year! Get your picks in at ESPN.com and join our group - Group Name: PVXCTrack Password: Panthers
Alumni Update: Many former Panthers participated in track meets over the weekend. Down at the UNLV Invite Celeste Fiame threw 122' in the jav for Dixie St., Carson Horspool ran a 16:11 in the 5000 for Weber State, and Mike Finch ran a 4:12 in the 1500 for SUU.
Thought of the Week: "... You need to surround yourself with far-sighted visionaries. You need to surround yourself with people who speak the same language as you. You need to surround yourself with people who fight and refuse to give up on their destiny. You need to surround yourself with people who testimonies give you reason to press on." - DS Mashego
You will become like those whom you are surrounded by. If you want great things, a positive attitude, to never give up, to succeed in school, to see the good in others, or whatever else, you need to surround yourself with those who do these things. It is a proven fact that attitudes and outlooks rub off on everyone around us. What kind of people are you surrounding yourself with? What kind of attitudes are being rubbed off on you?
