Feb. 21-26 - TRACK IS BACK BABY!

We are so excited for the beginning of the season. Everyone spread the word and let's build on the great tradition of PV Track and Field. We need everyone to get your registermyathlete done, so PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOUR REGISTRATION, YOUR FEES, AND YOUR PARENT-ATHLETE MEETING SLIDES. 

Those who haven't done the parent-athlete meeting (parents and athletes) need to please check out our Parent-Athlete Meeting slides. (This takes place of our having an in-person meeting, so please do it.)

Participation Fee/Register My Athlete/Physical: This must be done in the next couple weeks or you won't be allowed to participate with the team any more! Registermyathlete is super easy and only takes a few minutes to do if you have your physical on file. If you don't have a physical from this year yet, you can still do the registermyathlete just also get your physical scheduled and taken care of ASAP. 

HELP FOR MR. PVHS FUN RUN: On Saturday we (the track and field team) are hosting the Mr. PVHS Fun Run. We need everyone's help (including family and friends). We need about 30 volunteers to help with registration, t-shirts, course-pointers, snacks. These volunteers will help between 8:00a and 10:00 for about an hour depending on the job.

Thought of the Week: "The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team."

-Phil Jackson
I'm a very big fan of Phil Jackson the coach. I'm not a Bulls lover at all, but to get a team to mesh together around one of the great athletes ever and to get that great athlete to mesh with a team is a very special thing and led to one of the greatest dynasties in sports. And no doubt this happened because everyone on those teams bought into this quote. A team becomes great because of every single person who participates and helps build it. And a person becomes great because they allow a team to lift them up and push them to new heights. As we start a new season, think about what can you do to make our team the very best (in attitude, skill, friendship, etc), and think about what the team can do to make you better in every way.

Youth Club Info: We are starting up our MS Developmental Track and Field Clinic this week. This group meets Monday and Thursday at 3:00a-4:15('ish) and is open to all PV students in 6th-8th grades. We will focus on each different track and field events and give athletes an opportunity to work with the coaches of each specialty to see what our middle school athletes may want to pursue. We will meet throughout the spring and participate and host multiple track meets.
