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.
