2025 Schedule

Another great week for the Panthers. The meets went very well, and we are off to an amazing start. We'll have full meet recaps coming up later in the week (when I get a few minutes to type them up). And we'll also have an update later in the week asking for and finalizing help with the PV Invite which is next week. So please check back later and be ready to help.

MEET RECAP:

JV @ Snow Canyon - A real solid first meet for our team. We had a lot of great performances to start the season. We are especially proud of our athletes out competing for the first time. We had four marks make our 2025 Performance Chart: Burkley's shot, Elsie's 100 and 200, and Julia's HJ; great job! We also had some good results in the sprints from Carson, and Freshman girls (Payton, Mia, and Payton). Results

Snow Canyon Invite - PV came out strong in our first Invite of the season. The girls ended as meet champions, and in the combined scores, PV took 2nd overall. Please take these positive vibes to friends and see if we can get a few more people out to the team. Tell your friends we'll work with them in their busy club sports schedules and everything else; we just need a few more people to take this team right to the top! We had some very notable performances this past weekend. Some of our best were two school records: Ashley in the 200 and Keira in the Disc! We had a ton of State Qualifiers (SQs) and a lot of finalists and point scorers. Let's take a second and give a huge shout-out to Tevye (1600 & 3200) and Mailey (disc) for hitting their SQs in their very first meet. We've updated our 2025 Performance Chart to reflect this first week (the purpose of this chart is to attempt to even out the results from all the different events and keep track of our top performances; it is just for fun, but it is pretty accurate and we've been using it since 2016, so it has a lot of our programs history on it). Our 43 marks hitting the chart is our 2nd most ever from one meet and includes 5 new girls marks on the all-time record board (also, the girls have 16 of the top 20 marks on the season! Way to go ladies!). Results  

NEW TRACK UNIFORM INFO:

New uniforms are in. We'll pick them up next week. You have to have paid to get your new top. The cost for the new Nike top is $50 (if you are fundraising and hit the $100 mark, your top is free). If you haven't ordered shorts (this is done individually), please go back to the previous post and check out the info for uniforms and ordering shorts. 

FUNDRAISING:

One last call for fundraising. Sponsor names have to be sent to me this Sunday evening (3/9) if they are going to get on the Invite t-shirt.

PV Invite Sponsors: Businesses can help sponsor the Invite for $50+. For this, the business receives its name listed on the back of the meet shirt, a link on our webpage, and being listed as an event sponsor on the meet program. Sponsors MUST be turned in to Coach Holt by Friday.

SMS Text and Social Media Campaign: Instead of using a company (like the last couple years), we will be using our PV Venmo to collect the money. The paperwork has an example message you could copy, a place to plan who to send messages to, as well as suggestions for including the Venmo on your text and social media posts.

For both types of donations, just make sure that any money sent to the PV Venmo is labeled "track sponsor - (your name)"
We've also included a list of incentives to help encourage you to participate.

"Champions are made when no one is watching" - Muhammad Ali.

Mr./Miss PVHS - Time to get ready for Mr./Miss PVHS and this year our recipients are the amazing Swapp family (the dad is a PV XC and Track alumni... so let's really get after it and help this family out!). We host two events for Track and XC: The Mr./Miss PVHS Fun Run and the Root Beer Mile (registration info and stuff will be posted here soon, but for now we need to focus on the fundraiser part).

Mr./Miss PVHS Fun Run - what we need everyone (all track and field team members) to do is get sponsors for the Fun Run t-shirts. You can get the sponsor info here or come get it from Coach Holt. We need sponsors turned in by February 7th, so start getting them now. You'll be amazed at how many business and people want to help out. Just ask!

Root Beer Mile - the other (crazy) thing we do for Mr./Miss PVHS is our Root Beer Mile (all XC athletes are expected to participate in this, and we encourage our track and field and anyone else to come join us, too). The registration fee is $25 (or more) paid to the PVHS finance office. Participants can raise the money by getting "sponsors" to put money toward them. The sponsors can be friends, family members, or whoever else. The sponsor names are then entered into a drawing to win prizes for their support. So, we also need prizes - if you have anything you'd like to donate as prizes to the Root Beer Mile get it to an XC team member or Coach Holt (we've had stuff like gift certificates to restaurants, free rounds of golf, hotel stays, random treats, toys, who knows... whatever). These also need to be collected by Feb. 7th. Those who are participating in the Root Beer Mile need to enter your sponsors on the spreadsheet found on the PVXC blog.

Quote of the Week - 

"Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity, but doing it."

 - Greg Anderson

Maybe a weird quote at the end of the season and we have accomplished great things and are looking to even do better at State, but ultimately no matter what happens at State, this season has been amazing. The growth of each of you individually and as a team, seeing your joy in accomplishing PRs and things that you may not have even thought were possible, forming memories that will last a lifetime - these are the things that this is all about. So as we approach State, now is not a time to stress and be worried. You've done all the work you can do. No is a time to relax and have some fun! Let's go give it our best shot and make some more memories in the process.

A very good week! Great job to our JV crews: girls 3rd, boys 1st! and although this is being written on Thursday, we're sure things went awesome at Sentinel and with our BYU crew as well (kind of a busy weekend, so we'll see if we get this updated on Sunday or not).

We may have some spots for our top JV athletes (we will fill in all our spots - 4/event - and all our relays, so that may open a few events for our upper JV athletes). We would love to have the whole team here and supporting, and we will need help with hurdle crew and finish line and such. So each PV Track and Field athletes is EXPECTED to be at this meet even if you aren't competing (please be out to the track at 3:30). Please note that we are still planning Region spots; nothing on meettrax is finalized until we announce it as such.

Fri-Sat 5/17-5/18 - State @ BYU, Qualified athletes. We will be leaving Thursday before State. This is basically the end of the school year, so make sure all your grades are good and assignments in before we leave. An itinerary will be posted here. We know many of you want to come and support our team, we'll try and take as many as we can, but spots will definitely be limited. It may be best to make your own transportation and lodging plans. But we'd love you up there to support if you can.

BYU & Sentinel Invites - We got a few more qualifiers this weekend: Brodie in the shot, Kwade in the 200, the boys 4x100, and Seedar in the jav.  Also a huge congrats to TJ on breaking his SCHOOL RECORD once again in the discus (although it feels like we have seen this many times, and we have, don't take for granted how amazing a school record is!). Sorry I don't have to write much more today, but good job to many new PRs (we're looking at you thrower ladies) and medalists. Also, thanks so much for making the trip as stress-free as possible under weird hotel circumstances, and for just being great people that do great things especially when were in the community. Sentinel Meet Results. BYU Meet Results. Performance Chart (not updated yet... ahhh time!)

Quote of the Week - 

"You have your best races when you don't put too much pressure on yourself to hit a certain time."

 - Ali Ince

Track and Field can be such a numbers driven sport - we have SQs to hit and school records, wind readings and individual and team sports. But when it ultimately comes down to it, we do our very best when we set all this aside and just COMPETE! That's what these last two weeks are about... competing. You can set aside times and all that other stuff, and just go out there and compete to your very best ability on that given day. And when we do that, our best marks will show up, State Qualifiers will happen, and our team and individual places will be what we want. All because we can now set everything else aside and just go COMPETE!
