Another great week. We put a challenge out on Monday to go find some points and many of you stepped up and had great performances this past week. Watching a team come together is an amazing thing from a coaching perspective - it's not anything that can be forced; it's something that comes from shared experiences (the good and the bad), caring about each other, and wanting to help those around you do your best. In the past few weeks, we've really been watching this happen.
Athletes of the Week: Congrats to all our Athletes of the Week from last week: Dom, Marcus, Porter, Galu, Eli, Maddy, Laney, and Lauren . Keep nominating teammates from each discipline: Sprint, Field, and Distance. Nominate your teammates who best exemplify our philosophy of hard work, commitment, and those who did great things this week. This recognition will come solely from your nominations, so we need them.

Race Recaps:
JV @ Crimson - Another stellar meet for our JV crew! It all started with Jenna's win in the 1600 and ended with a full heat of Panthers in the 200. In between, a ton of great stuff happened. In that same 1600, Kennis took 6th and we had PRs from Sadie, Allison, and Laney. In the boys' race, Allen took 6th while breaking 5:00 for the first time. And PRs for Talmage and Porter. Camden placed 2nd in the 110h. And our girls sprint crew continues to improve with strong races from Paris, Brynlee S., Crystal, and Robin in the 100 as well as a 6th place finish in the 4x100. In the boys' 100 Maxx matched his PR to take 2nd. He was followed by Tyson in 3rd, then Dayton, Payton M., Benson, and Braxton went 9-12. In the 400 Macy took 7th. Eli and Hardman went 1-2 in the boys' 400 with very strong times. In the 300 hurdles, Robin and Makenna recorded two of our best times this year. And on the guys side, Dominic took 2nd, Camden 8th, and Parker 10th. Jenna followed up her 1600 with a 4th in the 800 and Macy and Laney took 7th and 8th. For the guys, Allen took 6th and Elijah 7th. Our boys 4x200 took the win. And Grant and Carson went 1-2 in the 3200. In the boys' 200 Tyson ended up 2nd overall; he was followed by Maxx in 3rd, Hardman 4th, Payton M. 5th, Braxton 6th, Dominic 9th, Eli 10th, Lucca 11th, and Benson 12th. Caden also had his best race of the season finishing 16th. In the girls' high jump Brynlee S. hit a PR at 4-06, and Parker took 4th with a 5-00 jump and Talmage 8th. Hannah hit a PR in the LJ and Braxton, Hardman, and Eli went 6-8th on the boys' side. In the disc, TJ took 4th followed by Nomee in 5th; Brayden hit a PR to take 11th. For the girls' Emma took 2nd with a strong throw. In the jav, Scottie's big debut was overshadowed by Shan and Isaac's 4th and 5th place finish. Solid shot throws from Nomee, Payton C. and TJ placed them 3-5th. In the overall standing, the girls took 7th but only a few points off 5th. The boys ended up winning by 48 points. Great job JV crew... the future is very bright for PV Track & Field.
Dixie Invite - A big prep meet for us. Many athletes were in multiple events and carried a heavy load this week. Like we said earlier, Monday we put out a call to go grab a few points, and many of you really stepped up. A few of the great things that happened this week: The field events continue to progress. Galu took 8th in the disc, while TJ hit a nice PR and just missed out on finals. Maddy took 6th in the long jump. Carter took 7th in the high jump with another PR. Peter took 6th in the shot with a PR. The boys jav crew went 6th, 7th and 8th with Doug and Sawyer both PRing and Bice just behind them. In the girls disc, Emma continues to improve and work her way up the region standings. Kemp took 5th in the LJ with a PR. And Brynlee S. continues to make improvements in her high jump. Our relays ran very well this weekend. The boys 4x4 took 1st while the girls took 5th. The boys 4x2 took 1st and the girls took 2nd in a season's best effort. Both the 4x1 teams took 1st with the girls getting a State Qualifying mark and the boys just missing out on the school record. And in the 4x8 the girls took 3rd and the boys took 5th. The 1600 saw PRs from Bryan and Ben. The high hurdles saw great efforts from Lauren (nearly breaking 20) and Heinrich (PRed to advance to finals, where he then State Qualified in taking 5th place). Rachel and Arden both advanced to the finals on the 100 with big PRs (Rachel just .02 off State and Arden earning her SQ, in the finals they took 4th and 8th). The depth of our boys sprint crew was on display again as Kemp took the top seed into the finals with a nice PR and Douglas narrowly beat out Maxx for the 8th spot (by thousandths) where they took 3rd and 6th. Tyson also PRed and Nic got back on the track for the first time in over a month. Alli, Brynlee J., and MacKenzie all made the finals in the 400 where Brynlee PRed taking 3rd and Alli nearly broke a school record while hitting her own PR and taking 1st. Kyanne also had a great run in the prelims and narrowly missed out on finals. In the boys' 400, Dom and Marcus ran their first open 400 of the year and State Qualified and went 1-2. Jason and Turner also ran strong races to advance to finals where they took 4th and 5th. In the 300h both Dominic and Lauren continue to push their times down. In the 200 Rachel, Arden, Brynlee all ran well taking 7-9th in the prelims with Arden and Rachel going 6th and 7th in the finals. Tyson made finals in the 200 (taking 7th), and we had strong times from Heinrich and Turner. In the 3200, Adri and Kate earned a State Qualifier with great runs. Alli won the 800 and Jenna and Laney ran PRs. For the boys Ben ran a nice PR and Zack earned a SB.
Thought of the Week: "Great players are willing to give up their own personal achievement for the achievement of the whole group."
-Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
I think this guy knows what he is talking about... 3 NCAA titles (back when you couldn't compete as a Freshman or he probably would have had 4, including a 88-2 record over that time) and 6 NBA titles. He was so good and so dominant, that the NCAA changed the rules (banning the dunk) for over 10 years because no one could stop him. He was also a 19 time All-Star and 6 time MVP. So even though he is considered one of the greatest basketball players of all time, he fully bought in to TEAM game. He learned at a young age - most likely under legendary coach John Wooden - that putting the TEAM first will always will bring about great results. Why? Probably more than anything else is because it creates a culture of caring. When we care about others, we want to do great things for them. The result? Great TEAM success. A secondary result is usually huge improvements and success for the individual as well (look at how great Kareem was even while putting his TEAM first). So what does this mean for us? Think about how willing you are to put the TEAM first. Are you getting to practice everyday because the TEAM needs you? Are you getting good sleep, eating and hydrating well because the TEAM needs you? Do you set aside some of your own wants, entertainment, and so on because the TEAM needs you? Are you taking care of all your school stuff because the TEAM needs you? If you are struggling in any of these areas, see if there's some way to improve (better yet, see if there is some way that TEAMmates can help you improve as you share with them some of your weakness and look for their strengths to help you out).
