Thought of the Week: "I have found that it's not so much how you start, but how you finish that counts. "
-Brittany L. Engels
I think this quote about says it all. It usually is pretty easy to start something, but along the way we often find many people fall off for one reason or another. But you are here; you have made it! Hopefully through this journey, you have found joy and accomplishment in what you have been able to do. Thanks for being such a great team and a great group of people to work with!

April 22 - 27 and Dixie JV Recap
It's getting down to the end... hopefully you're feeling recharged and refocused to finish up the season with a big push. This will be a busy week with two invitationals this weekend - at Cedar on Friday and Saturday and Orem on Saturday. Although we don't have a JV meet, most athletes should be able to get into one of the two invites (those who have been invited to Orem have been informed and should get their papers back to Coach Holt on Tuesday). Also, remember, a grade print out is due to Coach Roberts by Tuesday.
Athletes of the Week:
Sprints- Jaron
Field- Po

Dixie JV Recap: Although we were a little shorter on numbers than other JV meets this season, we were still strong on performances. The girls 1600 crew started us off well with Kyanne and Addi going 1, 2 and Allison getting a big PR to take 5th. Kylee and Karissa also earned big PRs. Mikey ran a SB to lead 6th Panthers in the top 12 including a PR from Dakota. Tyler set a PR in the 400 and Hunter broke 60 for the first time. The 800 crew bounced back on short rest and did a great job - Kylee and Rayne PRed and Boston and Jason PRed (among others). And Connor placed 7th in the guys 200.
Alumni Recap: Congrats to Celeste who broke her own DSU school record in the jav with a toss over 124' at the Bryan Clay Invite. Running for SUU, Josie set a PR in the 5000 with a time of 17:48 and Mike ran the 1500 (sorry can't find a time).
Thought of the Week: "I'm not gonna lie, I was terrified but I had CONFIDENCE in myself."
- Kyle Guy (Kyle was fouled as time expired and needed to make all three foul shots to put his team, Virginia, into the national championship game - he did.)
Most of us probably haven't been put on stage in a moment as big as Kyle did at the NCAA tournament a couple weeks ago, but sometimes it feels that way - that everyone is looking at us, watching us, demanding that we perform, and maybe we are scared to death that we won't meet others' and our own expectations. Often what separates those that are able to "step up" and accomplish great things in big moments is this confidence. But where does it come from? How does one get it? The biggest thing to remember is that no one gains confidence in the moment of trial. Confidence comes from doing what you need to do for hours and hours and thousands of times over and over again. Kyle had undoubtedly put himself into that moment countless times in lonely gyms since he was young. So when the game was on the line with thousands of fans screaming and the pressure so intense you could crack, he was able to go back to the confidence he had already generated within himself and do what he needed to do. The same goes for every other aspect in life, including track and field. The confidence to do great things is earned well before a region title is on the line, or a chance to qualify for state is only seconds away, or a state championship is within reach. The confidence that helps us achieve our best selves comes through hours and hours of practice and putting yourself into the situation at practice and through visualization well before the pressure of the big moment.

April 15 - 20 and Dixie Invite & Panther Relays Recaps
Another big week for the Panthers... Although we didn't get to enjoy the Panther Relays because of some weather issues, the team was able to back up the strong performances of last week with one of our best weeks in recent memory (more about that later). The biggest thing we could ask each of you to think about this week is the idea of RE-FOCUSING. By this we mean take a look at what you have been doing that has helped you progress this season and also evaluate what you've done to bring a positive attitude to the team. Then take some time to re-focus all that energy and let's make a strong push to the end.
Athletes of the Week:
Sprints- Dom and NeNe
Field- Mark and Gina
Distance- Scottie and Rayne
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 Dixie. Those going to the meet... because of bus scheduling issues, the bus leaves the HS right at 2:15 and then will pick up at the MS (out at 2:15) (this is a time change!). Meet starts at 4:00p. Those not competing... you will have normal practice at the HS at 3:00p.
Wednesday & Thursday - regular practice schedule.
Friday - No School - talk to event coach for weekend practice schedule - please don't just take Friday through Tuesday off.
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.
Upcoming Invites: This coming weekend we don't have an invite. But the following two weekends are four big meets. First on the weekend of April 26-27 we have the Cedar Invite and the Orem Tiger Trials Invite. About 25 of our top athletes will be travelling to Orem on Friday and competing at the meet on Saturday the 27th. The rest of the varsity and upper JV will head to Cedar for a two-day meet on the 26th and 27th. The next week is Region JV at the Canyon View Invite on 30th of April. This is a qualifier, and we will send a few Varsity athletes up who are needing to try and get a State Qualifier; however, most of the athletes who travel will be our JV athletes (those that won't be competing at Region). And then on Friday, May 3rd, we will be traveling to Herriman. This meet will be for invited Varsity athletes. You must hit the qualifying marks (here are the 2018 marks - please note the message at the bottom of the document) to be eligible to travel to this meet. We will be staying overnight and returning on Saturday the 4th - this is also Sr. Ball day, please have your plans worked out if you are coming back (with YOUR parent/guardian) well before the meet so you can get permission from the administration and for hotel purposes. Both overnight meets (Orem and Herriman) require a $25 hotel fee that MUST be payed before the trip).
Dixie Invite Recap: Despite missing some of our teammates, Dixie Invite turned out to be a big success for our team. We saw 2 new State Qualifiers with Julien and Luke in the 1600 and 3200 respectively. We added 26 new performances to our Best Marks list - which is the most in one week since we started keeping these stats. And for a week with no JV meet, we still hit a big number of PRs and Season's Bests. You can check out full results of the meet here. Some of our strongest performances came from James who made finals in both the 110 and 300 hurdles. Katelyn who also made finals in 2 events (100, 200). Alli who took a 1st in the 800 and 2nd in the 400. Gina who placed 2nd in the shot. Jaron who placed 4th in the 400. Sherm who took 1st in the 200. Rylee took 8th in the 3200. Luke and Scottie who took 4th and 8th in the 3200. Julien who medaled in both the 1600 and 800. Colben and Mark both hit big PRs and made finals in their respective field events (jav and shot). Of particular note, we want to give a shout out to boys distance crew - of the 15 entries in the 800, 1600, and 3200, 12 resulted in PRs! Including all top 5 times PV has recorded in the 1600 this season. Pretty good stuff guys.
Alumni Update: Let's give a yell to Carson who won his first collegiate race with a victory in the 3000 steeple this weekend up at Weber and Celeste had a decent showing in her jav for Dixie at the same meet. Mike raced for SUU down at Riverside in the 1500 and 3000 and Josie ran a strong 3000 at the same meet.
Thought of the Week: "Rest when you're weary. Refresh and renew yourself, your body, your mind, your spirit. Then get back to work." - Ralph Marston
This thought kind of hits on the earlier mentioned idea of re-focusing. We are fighting a lot of injuries and mental fatigue. Hopefully all of us have taken the time to do a bit of the mental and physical recharge mentioned in the quote... and now it is time to get back to work. We've done some pretty amazing things this year, but it doesn't have to end here. There is more to do! Let's get re-focused and back to work.

In the Field events Ruben took 4th in disc, Addi won the jav, Mark took 2nd in the shot while Peter and Nick were 5th and 6th. We swept the boys LJ with Jaron, Alec and Daylor. And Jake was 2nd in the jav. All the scoring helped the boys take 2nd and the girls 3rd.
DH Invite Recap: We keep racking up the qualifiers! This week we add to the list: Alli in the 3200, Cooper in the 3200, Dom and Sherm in the 100, the boys 4x100, and the boys medley. We had some other great performances, too. Katelyn continues to show huge improvements in the 100. She qualified 2nd for finals with a 13.15 and finished 3rd with a nearly identical time. She also qualified for finals in the 200. Marcus, Dom, and Sherm went 1, 2, 4 in the 100 finals. Both the medley and 4x100 teams that SQed won 1st. Cooper's 3200 placed in him 2nd.

Evan followed up a solid med 800 with a PR in the open 800 while placing 4th. In the disc, Ruben recorded a big PR. Gina recorded a 2nd place finish in the shot with put of 33-05. And also, Jaron jumped over 20 feet for the first time to take 3rd in the LJ. Overall scoring saw the boys ended up 2nd in a very crowded field and the girls finish 6th.
Fossil Donut Run: is coming up on April 12th. We are looking for athletes who would like to go participate with FRIS in this fun event (you have to run just a little). Look at your calendars and class schedules to see if you might be able to attend - the races are right around lunch time (I think).
Thought of the Week: "I get my butt kicked in practiced by the top runners in the NCAA every week, but today's race helped remind me that it's all worth it!" - Dallin Farnsworth
Dallin is a distance runner at BYU and said this after setting a 10K PR at the Stanford Invite this year. Sometimes its hard to push through practice when it seems like we aren't improving or we aren't as fast as someone else. But it is important to remember that this is actually okay; having competition is okay; not being first is okay. Our growth comes from being pushed by those around us and creating a culture where we help each other do our very best every day. And then, when the time is right, our great races (or throws, or jumps) will happen, too.

And also, Jaron jumped over 20 feet for the first time to take 3rd in the LJ. Overall scoring saw the boys ended up 2nd in a very crowded field and the girls finish 6th.
Fossil Donut Run: is coming up on April 12th. We are looking for athletes who would like to go participate with FRIS in this fun event (you have to run just a little). Look at your calendars and class schedules to see if you might be able to attend - the races are right around lunch time (I think).
Thought of the Week: "I get my butt kicked in practiced by the top runners in the NCAA every week, but today's race helped remind me that it's all worth it!" - Dallin Farnsworth
Dallin is a distance runner at BYU and said this after setting a 10K PR at the Stanford Invite this year. Sometimes its hard to push through practice when it seems like we aren't improving or we aren't as fast as someone else. But it is important to remember that this is actually okay; having competition is okay; not being first is okay. Our growth comes from being pushed by those around us and creating a culture where we help each other do our very best every day. And then, when the time is right, our great races (or throws, or jumps) will happen, too.
