2026 Schedule

***UPDATE - Spirit Pack - follow the link to the team store. NOTHING ON THIS IS REQUIRED (this is all optional gear) / THIS IS NOT OUR OFFICIAL TEAM UNIFORM (uniform info is found below)***

We are so excited to get this season going! Those who are finishing up a winter sport, go kill it and finish strong; we'll see you when you are ready (but make sure you have got your registermyathlete done). Everyone else... Let's be out to the track on Tuesday at 3:00 (we are on a pretty strict schedule this season and have to be done by 5:00)

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). Log in 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 2026 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!

WINTER TRACK is back!

Thought of the Week - "Start where you are. Not where you want to be. Not where you think you should be. Not where others think you should be. But where you are. Little by little becomes a lot."

-Brad Stulberg

Now is the time to start. Maybe you worked out a lot in the last few weeks; maybe you didn't do anything (and maybe feel a little scared to start or even ashamed that you didn't do what you should have). No big deal. We can't change the past (although we can learn from it), so might as well get started. NOW IS THE TIME TO START!

Winter Schedule:

We will be conditioning in the winter (for those that don’t have a winter sport). The goal is to get in shape and get ready for the season. Like everything, the more work you put in at the beginning, the more progression you allow for later). CONSISTENCY IS KEY! We will be continuing the week we get back from winter break:

• Distance - Monday-Thursday at 3:00p and Fridays at 12:45p (we will include some mornings eventually)

                Distance Info for over the Winter break: take a look at your workouts (everyone will need to request access using your school email). Our season plan starts the first week of the break, not running over the break will really put you behind - please get your runs in. And, get into and update the worksheet for your workout paces (new athletes will need to request access using your school email).

• Sprints and Jumps - Monday and Wednesday afternoons at 3:00p (we will eventually add more days)

• Throws - Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at 3:00p (we will eventually add more days)

Indoor/Winter meet schedule - Let the coaches know if you’d like to attend any of these meets and we’ll help you get signed up.

STUFF FOR THE OUTDOOR TRACK SEASON: 

Paperwork / Physical / Fee – you need to have your paperwork and physical done before you can come out to official practice in mid-Feb. To do this, go to registermyathlete.com and get registered for either boys or girls track. If you have a physical on file at school (for this year), you are good. If not, print out the paperwork (or get it in the office) and get your physical taken care of and turned into Kara in the office. You’ll also need to pay your $100 participation fee before you can come out to official practice in mid-Feb.

 

Grades – Your 3rd quarter grades determine your eligibility for most of the season… so make sure they are good! (2nd quarter for the 1st meet of the season)

 

OFFICIAL TRACK PRACTICE – Officially, we will start up on Tues, Feb

17th. We will practice each afternoon from 3:00-4:30/5:00 (some people may have morning practice). Those in a Winter sport will begin attending when their seasons end.

Practice Schedule and Expectations - 

It is expected that athletes will attend each practice. Failure to do so may result in inability to compete in meets and possibly a dismissal from the team. We all have different circumstances, so it is a MUST that you talk to Coach Holt if you are not able to attend a practice.

Practice will be held Mon-Thurs at 3:00 and after school on Fri at the PVHS track.  

Each Monday, we will meet in the lecture hall for a short team meeting. Please be there - the first meeting will be Tues the 17th.  

Spring Track Schedule – is posted on the track blog.

 

Gear – You will need to pre-order your gear. Everyone must have a uniform singlet (we will be using the black tops we got last year); they are $50; you also need one of the team shorts which are purchased on your own through the links provided on the blog.

The spirit pack will be posted on the blog when available - No spirit pack gear is required (and it is not the official uniform, just practice gear). Watch for when the spirit pack is posted and closes. This gear must be paid for by your own $.

 

Fundraiser – To help cover the cost of all sorts of things, we are asking each athlete to participate in our fundraiser. Your first $50 will go toward the team; the remainder of your money can go toward:

• $35/$70 hotel fee (every athlete who travels to BYU (and/or) State is required to pay this fee - $35 per night) 

• Uniform ($50 singlet - shorts you will purchase on your own through links provided on the blog) 

• $100 participation fee (if you are using your fundraiser to pay your participation fee, PLEASE talk to Coach Holt first!)  

• But, unfortunately, NOT your spirit pack (this is separate from your uni and is ordered on your own).

PV Track & Field fundraising opportunities this season:

Sponsor Level	Benefit	Cost
Maroon	Business Name Placed on the Back of the Invite T-Shirt	$50
Silver	Above + a Business Link on the Team Website	$100
Black	All of the Above + Business Name Listed on the Invite Program Sponsoring a Specific Event at the Invite	$150

There are a lot of businesses out there that are willing to help sponsor, so ask around. The sponsor check should be taken to the finance office and get a receipt to show to Coach. (You can go to our website, pvtrack.blogspot, to see examples of the advertising.) Get started on it ASAP!  Sponsors must be turned in by March 2nd.  

PV INVITE help:

PV hosts one of the largest high school invitationals in the state.  This year it is on the 20-21st of March.  I know there are always events scheduled and things going on, but we will really need every athlete to plan on helping at the meet.  So please free up your schedule this weekend.  We will also need help from parents to run concessions and help with the timing and managing events.

Form Drill Videos:

Please watch these and learn... Those who are back with the team may feel like you have these drills down, but I bet there is something you could learn and improve on here. Those who are new just know that running is way more than just putting on some shoes and going for it - there actually is a correct way to run and learning these drills (and doing them right) will make you faster no matter the event you choose to do.

***Tickets to State for Parents/Fam/Fans***

Great job at Region everyone. Congrats to all our Region placers and medalists, to our State Qualifiers, and to the girls for the absolutely dominant win! And before we go too far, thanks to all those who helped out with the Ironman. Some of the jobs were boring and others kept you on your toes, but thanks for being there and willing to help support our team.

Now it's time to get that final push for State. We will have a team meeting at 3:00p in the PV lecture hall tomorrow. We'll go over events, strategy, and a few other things to get prepped. Check back here on Monday or Tuesday for the full itinerary for this coming weekend. We will take a few alternates for our relays and (maybe, if there are spots on the bus and in the hotel) a few others up with us. So make sure you're around if you want that to be you. 

*please note - please check sporttrax to make sure we didn't miss any qualifiers. Entries have to be in by Sunday evening, so we need mistakes caught before then.*

We greatly appreciate the parents working to get things (food and drinks) together for our athletes up at State. Here's the message from Randi if you didn't get it:

Hi parents,

This is Randi Conrad I was hoping to get some help providing sandwiches, healthy snacks and drinks for our athletes this year for state track.  BYU doesn't have many options for our athletes and I feel our athletes will do even more amazing if we could help them out with food at the meet. 

I will need to borrow some big coolers

I will gladly accept donations of drinks, snacks and money. 

I think fruit and vegetables would be an amazing things to have available.

I won't be able to do this without everybody's help. I'm not sure where to start and  I would love any ideas or suggestions you have.

My email is jadeandrandi@gmail.com 

You can text me (435)632-4277 my Venmo is @Ran-con

Thank you, I'm so excited for our team this year!
