The weather didn't quite cooperate for our big push for PR's, but we still had some great performances and even a few State Qualifiers over the weekend. Up at Cedar, Celeste fought the wind and snow to hit a SQ in the jav with a big PR of 106' and 4th place. In Orem, Jacey raced to a 4th place finish in the 1600, Brizbin threw a big 8' PR in the disc to break 120' for the first time, and Jake ran a season's best in the 300h to get a SQ. There were a lot of other great performances at both meets.
This week, we will be heading up to Canyon View on Tuesday for the JV Region Championships and to Herriman on Friday for the Herriman Twilight Meet. Here's the outline for the whole week:
Monday: team meeting at 3:00 in the lecture hall - everyone needs to come and have an idea what your are going to do at the JV Champs (for those that will be attending). If you are not at the meeting, you won't be going to any meets this week.
Distance runners - The following should be at AM practice at 5:45a: Jacey, Josie, Ellie, Caroline, Rylee, Jessica, Addi (if your leg is feeling up to it), Dallen, Mitch, Xander, Carson, Alex, Julien, Logan, and Colton (I think that is it... Varsity runners). The rest of the Level 2's should be at practice at 6:15a for your normal am run.
Tuesday: JV Region Championships at CV. Meet starts at 4:00. Bus time will be posted soon. Those who are competing at JV Region will not be competing at Var Region next week (with the exception of a few Varsity relay teams). There will be a few JV athletes who will be headed to Herriman this weekend, but for most of our JV athletes, this meet will mark the end of the season. We invite those JV athletes who have finished up their season to keep coming out to practice with the team.
Wednesday: normal practice. Distance runners have their workout at 6:00am.
Thursday: normal practice.
Friday: Herriman Twilight Meet at Herriman HS. Those qualifying (invited) athletes will be leaving near the end of first period on Friday. Bus times will be posted and an itinerary sent out with the athletes soon. The meet is on Friday evening only, but we will be staying overnight and coming home Saturday morning. Cost for the meet (hotel) is $25 for those who did not pay for hotels through their fundraisers.
Anyone who has not paid for uniforms or hotel fees, MUST PAY for these items soon. The fine list will be turned in to the office early this week.
End of Season Awards: We will have an informal ice cream social for our team awards night. JV and Varsity Letters will be given out as well as awards for our athletes and performances of the year. The date for this will be announced soon. This will be a very low-key quick event, but we do want to recognize our athletes.
YOUNGSTERS: There is a meet scheduled for Wednesday, May 3rd at Desert Hills HS. I don't have a lot of info, but I am guessing it is on.
Alumni Report: We have had two former Panther track athletes competing in the collegiate ranks this season. Kaylee (Boyer) Abel is finishing up her final season of eligibility at SUU. Kaylee is the school record holder in the 3200 and former record holder in XC. She has had a great career at SUU and finishes the year with many strong performance in the distance events. We congratulate her on her career and her double majors for Southern Utah.
Michael Finch was another standout distance athlete at PV. Michael has had a great season at SUU after working back in shape after his mission. This past weekend, Michael won the 3000 Steeple at the Steve Scott Invite in California with a PR and a time that places him 6th in the conference.

April 24-29 and Dixie Invite Recap
Another good building week for PV Track. Dixie Invite saw some very solid performances from our sprints and field events, and the distance runners threw out some exciting performances as well. Our 200/400 guys ran very well (Samson - 5th place 200; PR's from Jacob, Michael, Colin, Colton, and Macen). Add a PR for Kaylani in the 100 and the sprint squad set the tone for a good meet. Jakobe hit a PR in the jav and scored for the team. Amelia tied her PR in the HJ and made finals in the LJ to score well for the team. Colin hit a season's best LJ and took 3rd. And Celeste placed in the jav finals to mark a strong meet for the field events. In the distance races, Jacey ran a good 1600 taking 4th; Rylee and Ellie went 3 and 4 in the 3200 setting season's and personal bests respectively. Nearly the whole guys 3200 crew PR'ed with Carson taking 7th, Xander crushing his PR by 14 seconds and qualifying for State and taking 8th, and Julien and Mitch slipping in PR's as well. The 800 saw Jacey run a great race - state qualifying and placing 3rd; Caroline taking 5th and Josie hitting a season's best. Jada and Jessica also ran great races and PR'ed. And in the boys 800, Logan and Colton ran their best races of the year and are just off of state qualifying. Overall, it was a great meet, and we continue to improve at the time of the year when PR's, Herriman Qualifying, and State Qualifying marks are all out there to get. Everyone has worked extremely hard this year and deserves them, so "Jump out de plane!"

April 17-22 and Hurricane JV, DH Multi and Distance Carnie Recap
We survived a very busy week... and we did so with some great track and field! First, a huge congrats to Brianna, Kaylani, Jada, Colin, and Parker for competing in and completing their Hep/Decathlons at the DH Multis. What a huge accomplishment it is to complete all those events in just 24 hours! At the Distance Carnie, we also had some other great performances. Mostly notably, Caroline State Q'ed in the 3200. Xander had a very good 3200 as well and just missed his State Q by less than a second. We had a ton of great 1600's - PR's from Carli and Jenessa (first time under 6:00!), also Nathan, Corbin (sub 5:00!), Tanner, James, Tyler, and Landon - sorry if I missed anyone there. We also had some solid distance relays. The boys and girls boys took first in the 4x800 (with the boys just missing out on the school record), and the girls had a great battle with DH for the 4x1600 title (just coming up short on a very windy day). The guys also claimed the 4x1600 title.
Earlier in the week, we had a very successful JV meet at Hurricane. We had many PR's, it would be impossible to mention them all, but some of the standouts were Brizbin with a very solid 112' disc throw, Jada's 1600 PR, and good showings from the rest of our distance crew.
This week, things calm down a little bit, but we have an important invite over at Dixie on Fri and Saturday. With Sr. Ball also this weekend, please arrange your schedules to make sure you are there for your events.
Monday: No school. Get your workouts in - check with event coaches to see if you have practice.
Tuesday: Practice as usual (no JV meet this week).
Wednesday: Dixie Invite registration due. Practice as usual.
Thursday: Practice as usual.
Friday: Practice for those not competing at Dixie. Dixie Invite - HS out at 1:35, MS out at 1:45 with bus coming just after release times. Athletes MUST ride bus, but can leave after assigned events with parent checkout.
Saturday: Dixie Invite - bus leaving HS at 7:45a. Athletes MUST ride bus, but can leave after assigned event with parent checkout. VERY IMPORTANT... athletes CAN NOT leave with friends to the dance, a parent must come and pick you up! Please plan ahead.
Another important note for all of our athletes: On meet days, you must be at school through out the whole day. If you are sick and have to go home, then you are too sick to race. If you have a doctor appointment, it must be pre-approved by Mr. Higgins. If you are tardy, you run the risk of a teacher not changing the absence (so don't be tardy). To compete at a meet, you must be at school!
YOUNGSTERS - important note from Coach Martha: You will not have practice this week - Monday there is no school, and Thursday, you are encouraged to go to the meet at Hurricane. The cost per event at the meet is $1. Get your rides arranged and go have a great meet! If you ordered a uniform and haven't got it, talk to Coach. If you haven't paid for one and would like one, talk to Coach.

April 10-15 and DesHill Invite Recap
Well, no one got blown away by the wind this past weekend, so that was good. It was a windy meet over at DH, but we still did well. Our top finishers were Jacey in the 1600 taking 4th, Dillan taking 2nd in the shot, Alex bouncing back from his spiking last week and taking 4th in the 800, and Julien taking 4th in the 1600 and hitting his State Q! Jacobe had a good meet and made finals in both the LJ and the jav. Xander grabbed a point in the 1600 with an 8th place finish. Samson placed a solid 5th in the 200. We also saw seasons best from Caroline in the 1600 and Josie in the 800. Hopefully we can catch some decent weather this week and really show how much we have improved so far this year.

Keep up in the classroom and out on the track. Get the rest you need. Eat healthy. Drink plenty of water (it is getting warm). Be good influences on each other and those you come in contact with. Doing these things will guarantee continued improvement. We promise, good things come to those who work for it... so keep working!

April 3-8 & DH JV Meet & Hurr Invite Recap
We have reached the mid-point of our season, and we continue to see great things from those who are putting in the hard work and dedication necessary to be successful.
This past week was a busy one; we had multiple meets and a Youngsters meet. A big thanks to everyone who stayed around and helped with the youth meet - it went very well and everyone helped a lot.
JV at DH: Despite the hassles (no bus; then a bus, but meet cancelled; then meet back on, but at DH), we ended up having a great meet. We had great races from many of our athletes and recorded many season and personal records. Our results are posted at athletic.net. Some of our best performances were the boys 1-5 sweep in the 1600 with Mikey taking the win, followed by Evan, Colton, Nathan, and Corbin. Corbin and Grant had a great battle in the 800. Colin brought home a win in the 300h followed by Evan. Brianna also won the 300h. And Alli won the 3200.
Hurricane Invite: A windy and cold weekend at Hurricane saw three more State Q's for our team. Dillan Robertson won the shot with the 5th furthest mark in Utah this season at 51-03. Samson ran a very good 200 taking 3rd with a 23.18. And Jacey placed 3rd in her first 3200 of the season running a 11:39. Other strong performances came from Carli who ran a big PR in the 3200 to place 8th. Xander who narrowly missed a State Q in his first 3200 ever and was just as close to qualifying in the 1600 as well. Dillan's 4th place finish in the jav. Caroline, Rylee and Jessica placing 2,3 and 5 in the 1600.
This coming week, we have two more meets.
Panther Relays: Tues at PVHS we host the Panther Relays. This meet is all relay races and starts at 4:00. Athletes need to be there at the usual practice time to help set up and get our relays set up.
Team BBQ: After the Relays, we will have a team BBQ and cook up some World Famous Panther Dogs. Stay around after the meet and eat if you can.
Desert Hills Invite: Fri and Saturday is the DH Invite. This invite is another State Qualifying meet, but we may have a few more spaces for entries than last week. Our bus times will be the same as they were for last week. On Friday, HS'ers are out after 4th at 1:35 and then we will go pick up the MS'ers who are out at 1:45. On Saturday, the bus will leave the HS at 7:45a. Remember, you MUST ride the bus over, but can come home with your guardian after checking out with the coaches.
