Even being a bit rainy, it was a great first week of track! We had a lot of athletes out and working hard. It is not too late to join, but we need everyone out soon. Meets are coming up quick (next week at SC: JV on Tues and Var on Fri/Sat). Thanks for everyone that participated in the Mr. PVHS Fun Run. Now we need to focus on getting the PV Invite ready to roll. Parents, please sign up to help (on Parent Meeting slides below); and athletes, make sure you have scheduled to be here and available to help on Friday, March 22nd (noon-10:00ish) and Saturday, March 23rd (8:00a-2:00pish)
(Leaving this here because many haven't completed this yet) A few things that we need to get done:
- Registermyathlete - you MUST have your registration done to come to "tryouts" (that means you have to get this done to start practice). Login to your account (or make an account if you have not participated in a sport at Pine View) and go through all the documents, click everything, and sign everything.
- Physical - you MUST also have a physical from this current school year on file at PVHS. If you already have participated in a sport this school year, you are all good. If you haven't, contact your doctor and let them know you need a sport physical and usually they can get you in very quick to complete the physical and fill out the paperwork.
- Participation Fee must be paid by the beginning of the week of our first meet.
- Spread the word about track - EVERY ATHLETE at PV (that isn't in another Spring sport) should be doing track and field... this is where you get fast, jump high and far, work on footwork, get stronger, and every other skill that all other sports are based upon. Track will help every athlete get better at their main sport! If you want your other sports to be better, get your teammates to do track!
- Athletes and Parents - in place of a Parent Meeting, please look through this short slide show and review the policies and practices of PV Track and Field. Please note the fundraising information as well as the PV Invite help sign-ups. Also check out the 2024 schedule. Then complete the final form to state you have read through the information presented.

Quote of the Week -
"You don't have to be good to start... you just have to start to be good." - Joe Sabah
So many people are afraid to start something because they are worried about not being good. In fact, many of your friends probably tell you this when you invite them out to join us. First off, nobody is that good when they just start something. And more importantly, how could you ever be good if you don't start? Let's get this season started off well and have a ton of people out this week. Let's have some fun. And let's bring some success to Pine View in the sport that we are the most successful at!
