Down to the end. Kinda hard to believe. Before we get to far into this, super important announcement: it is very important that everyone come to the team meeting Monday after school. Please spread the word to your teammates who might not see this for any reason. We will be finalizing BYU entries, getting signed up for JV Region, talking about who may be bumping up from JV to Varsity for Varsity region next week, and discussing our approaches to the end of the year. So those that have been injured, maybe missing a few practices, or whatever else... please be here (no one will be entered in JV Region or BYU that isn't in attendance). Other stuff - great job at the meets this weekend and thanks so much for everyone who stuck around and helped at the Youngsters Meet; it was a big one and we needed a lot of help. Also, JV Region has been changed to Crimson because of soccer playoffs.

JV State Info:
No new updates on this... We haven't got a much info on this (and this is the inaugural year of this meet), so here's what we know. Any JV athletes that would like to compete at a State meet just for JV athletes, there will be a meet up in Utah County somewhere around May 16-18th'ish. No exact date, times, or locations have been nailed down. We won't be able to travel to this as a team (you would need to arrange your own travel and overnight plans - if needed), but any interested JV athletes are welcome to continue to train with the team for this and we will sign you up. Please let the coaches know if you are interested.

Thought of the Week: "One thing about championship teams is that they're resilient. No matter what is thrown at them, no matter how deep the hole, they find a way to bounce back and overcome adversity."
-Nick Saban
In so many ways, this year has been a lot like other - some ups and some downs. But it sure feels like we have had our share of injuries and other setbacks. The reality is, though, so has everyone else. We have a tremendous season. It has been a lot of fun. The team has come together in many ways and we've grown a lot. As we put our focus on these last few meets and work to meet team and individual goals, the thing that will get us there is showing true resiliency and coming together for each other. How are we going to respond to the struggles we've had and the inevitable few that we'll still have? If we come together and support each other - if we truly care about each other and can set our own pride and fears aside - great things will happen!
