We will say this a million times over... Thanks so much for all of your help at the Invite. It went so well. So much parent help to cover everything we needed. All of you athletes that helped out in the sun all day (both days). Everyone who stood on blocks for hours. Everybody who jumped up and helped with hurdles and finish shoot and got water over and over. All trash picker uppers. And everything else! You couldn't count the number of positive remarks we had on the meet. Thank you, thank you.
Since we were so busy, you may have missed some of the great performance we had at the meet, so here's a little recap. Overall our teams did great. Some of our best team results in many years. The boys finished 5th in a very tight pack. And the ladies placed a strong 9th. Leading to a 6th in the combined standings. Some of our top results: Alli Baker setting a new PVHS Freshman record in the 1600 and State Qualifying in her first race of the year with a 5:13; Jacob Mpungi win a 3rd in the 100 and a State Qualifying 11.30 and a 1st in an injury shortened LJ; Samson Doyle making finals in both the 200 and 400; Jake McArthur with a 6th in the 110h and State Qualified in 300h with a 41.81 while taking 4th; the boys 4x100 of Michael Moten, Jacob Mpungi, Jacobe Turlington, and Samson Doyle came out of the middle heat to take 2nd at State Qualify; the girls Medley Relay of Yrene Heinze, Autumn Bishop, Alli Baker, and Jacey Finch placed 2nd; the boys Medley Relay of Micheal Moten, Sherm Jensen, Samson Doyle, and Alex Hill took 3rd and State Qualified with a time of 3:41; in addition to Jacob's 1st in the LJ, we had two other finalists with Michael Moten placing 3rd and Colin Tudor placing 8th; Celeste Fiame had a huge win in the javelin with a State Qualifying throw of 117"; and finally, Gina Wright had a huge improvement in the shot to take 2nd. And the list of PR's (Personal Records) and SB's (Season's Bests) is much too long to list... so great job to all of you!
Athletes of the Week: Email or text your nominations for AotW by Monday morning (remember it can be anyone who displays the awesomeness of PV Track and Field. Tell us who and why in your comments. (Let's get more than 3 of you doing nominations!)
Now even though we get to take a little breath, next week is a pretty busy one as well:
JV Meet on Tuesday: JV Race at Cedar (most everyone who isn't in the top 4 or so on our team in their events is "JV"). The meet starts at 4:00 at Cedar HS. The bus will leave PVHS at 2:15 and then we'll go get the 9th graders at. HS out at 2:00 and MS out at 2:15. Those 9th graders who are going on the Bio field trip need to know by Monday (at the team meeting) if you are going to be able to get to Cedar to compete so we can sign you up for events (PARENTS... if you want to give permission for your child to ride with someone else's parent up to the meet, you MUST send a signed note with your student to practice tomorrow to get approval by the administration).
Youth Meet on Wednesday: Our first (of three) K-8th Meets will be on Wednesday after practice (from 3:45-6:00). We will need a lot of help with this meet. This is a great opportunity to give back to the sport that gives a lot to you and help prep our future Panthers. If you need service hours for something use this to count some time. This is basically required for everyone to be at and help. So clear your schedule. The other meets will be April 18th and May 2nd. Spread the word to anyone you know who might want to come participate.
Long Weekend: We don't have school Friday and Monday, but we need to have practice. Please do your best to arrange your schedules to be available for practice at 8:00 each of those mornings.
Quote: Last week we talked about vulnerability and how being open is not a weakness, rather a strength that will lead to great growth. If we are out here doing this very tough thing of track and field, we might as well try and grow to our best selves. Doing that requires you to take a look at what is helping you grow and what is holding you back. Here's a thought about that very idea.
"Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity, and change." - Brene Brown

Concession and Event Help
PARENTS...
Here is what is scheduled so far in concession help. If you were missed, or would like to help fill in a spot, please text Coach Holt ASAP.
Event help - We are looking for anyone who could help in the timing tent or as an event official. We will have a trained person to help at each area. We need people to help mark throws/jump, etc... Any time you could be there is helpful, but anyone who could help throughout the meet either Friday, Saturday, or both days would be very helpful! Again, please text Coach Holt ASAP.

Week of March 19 - 24
Welcome back everyone... Hope you all had an awesome Spring Break!
Well, it is Pine View Invite week, so we have a lot to do. Please remember, everyone is expected to be available to help this weekend at the meet. Although we will try and get as many athletes in to events as possible, we are limited in the number of our entries (just like every other team) and not everyone will compete. Nonetheless, we expect every PV track and field athlete to be here and ready to help on Friday and Saturday. (We do have a JV meet on Tuesday the 27th in Cedar, so everyone will get a meet soon.)
Assignments: Boys have been asked to bring 20 oz gatorades, and girls have been asked to bring 16-17 oz waters. Please have those to practice or Coach Holt by Wednesday.
We also still need a few parents to help in concessions for the early shift Friday afternoon (starting around 12:30p until around 3:30) and on Saturday (8:30-11:00 and 11:00-1:30). Email pineviewtrack@gmail.com or text on the remind app.
A few athletes will be excused throughout the day to help with the setup. Everyone else will be out at lunch. Get a quick lunch and get out to the track by noon to help setup. MS'ers you will need to arrange your own rides over to the HS.
A few other reminders:
- At our team meeting on Monday (go do drills first and then come to the lecture hall) we will discuss availability to the rest of the meets for the season, so please check your calendars.
- All registermyathlete and fees must be completed and cleared for further participation with the team (including practice)
- Distance runners - remember you practice contract is due (signed by a parent) and that Levels 2, 3, and 4 have an early morning long run at 5:30a (wear white or bright and bring a light if you would like).
- Athletes of the Week - still looking for nominations for Athletes of the Week from our first meets and the first few weeks of practice. Send us the name and a short reason why he/she is being nominated. You can nominated a guy, a girl, a field athlete, a sprinter, a distance runner, whatever... He or she doesn't need to be your gender or your specific event even. Just think of someone (or many someones) who really showed what PV Track and Field is all about. Email to pineviewtrack@gmail.com or text on the remind app. Or even deliver to Coach on Monday morning.
- We do have a Youth Track Meet (K-8th) scheduled for Wed, March 28th. This will take place from 3:45p-6:00p. Everyone needs to plan on sticking around after a short practice to help with that meet. Also, spread the word around so we get kids out.
And... we have our biggest numbers in over a decade, but now we start to lose people. Go get everyone that you have ever seen out for track and bring them back. A nice word about how we miss them and want them with us goes a very long way!
Finally, for our team meeting tomorrow, we will be talking about an idea presented by Brene Brown called vunerability and why it is so important to help us become our best selves on and off the track. If you would like to learn a bit about this before, go check out this Ted Talk from her.
and our thought for the week comes from one of her books...
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, who face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly..." - Teddy Roosevelt

Spring Break and Virgin Valley & Snow Canyon Recap
Thanks to everyone that got all their registermyathlete done (another plea to finish it if you haven't!) and also those who got fees paid. By now, everything MUST be complete to be out with the team.
The themes for this Spring Break week are PRACTICE and SELF-MOTIVATION! Since we are out of school and many of you are gone, this is the time where each of you have to prove that you want to be committed to the team and your own self-improvement and get your workouts in. The meets this past weekend proved one thing, you must practice with consistency to get better. So if you are in town, come to your event's scheduled practices. If you're out of town, dig deep and get your workouts in. Either way... you MUST be PRACTICING if you want to get better and contribute to this team.
Sprinters:
We will have practice, for those in town, at the track at 8:00a everyday. If you have any questions, contact Coach Janz at (435) 313-2019.
Throwers: You will be meeting at the HS at 9:00a on M/W/F
Distance: Your schedule is linked to the right in the usual place. Monday we will meet at 8:00a at the Maverick round-a-bout on the Washington Parkway for our long run. All other workouts are on your own.
Thought of the week, fitting for a Spring Break week:
"If you want to look good in front of thousands, you have to outwork thousands in front of nobody." -Damian Lillard
A couple reminders:
Remember, we have the PINE VIEW INVITE the week we get back from Spring Break. All sponsors should already be turned in to Coach Holt. Boys are responsible for donating 20 oz. Gatorades and girls are in charge of 16-17 oz. waters. Those need to be brought to Coach at school or at practice by Wednesday of the Invite week. Also, we are still looking for some parents who could help in the concession stands. And, we are looking for anyone who could arrange donations or discounts on pizza and something like Chik-fil-a for the meet. So if you have the hook-ups, get working on it!
Also, this year we are going to do Athletes of the Week through nominations. Think of a teammate who is doing extraordinary things in practice, meets, and in leadership, and either text Coach (through the remind app) or email Coach at pineviewtrack@gmail.com. Send the name of your nominee and a quick reason why. We need guys and girls from all three track categories: sprints, distance, and field.
Race Recaps
Snow Canyon: This meet was a great start to the season. We had strong events from many, especially many of our young athletes competing in their first track meet. Autumn Bishop recorded our top 100 and 200 times on the weekend. Pyper Holt and Gracie Clements took 6th and 7th in the 800. And Josh Hardman recorded a 13th place in the LJ. Other top marks were Raymond Tauoa's 37' shot and Addi Baker's 5th place finish in the 3200.
Virgin Valley: Both squads did very well here, especially considering our limited entries. The boys took first and the girls placed 4th. Some top marks were: girls 4x800 (1st), Jacob Mpungi 1st in LJ (21-03) and 4th in the 100 (11.51). Boys 4x200 (2nd). Boys and girls 4x400 (2nd).

And Rylee Holt and Sylvia Brown going 2,4 in the 3200.

Week of March 5-10 and Virgin Valley and Snow Canyon Invites
What an awesome first week of practice! We had a lot of new athletes ready to come out and contribute to our team. The goal is now to KEEP everyone coming out. This is going to be a big week. We need to: get everyone registered and cleared to be on the team, everything lined up for the PV Invite which will be on the week we get back from Spring Break, and we have our first meets this weekend.
Registration: If you haven't yet finished your registration, please go to registermyathlete.com and get it all taken care of. This includes getting your Fees paid. To be cleared for practice and meets, you must also have Physical taken care of.
Pine View Invite: Our Invite is coming up on the week we get back from Spring Break. We are looking for a few parents who would volunteer to help with the concession stand as well as with the weigh-in of implements. The concession stand will be open from around 12:30p until the end of the meet 8:30p on Friday and from 8:30a until the end of the meet around 2:00 on Saturday. We try and organize about two shifts each day. If you are interested, please email Coach Holt at pineviewtrack@gmail.com. The weigh-in of implements is a pretty easy chore that needs a shift from 12:00p - 1:30p on Friday and another shift from 8:00a - 9:30a on Saturday. Again, please contact Coach Holt if you are willing to help. Another thing we need from athletes is water and Gatorade donations. We are asking the boys to bring 20oz bottles of sports drink (often available as 8 packs from grocery stores) and the girls to bring 16-17oz (usually 16.9oz) bottles of water. Bring as many as you can. And we ask that you bring them by Wednesday the 21st, so we can know if we need to buy more.
This Week's Races: We have two meets this weekend. It is not set yet as to what meet everyone will be traveling to. However, athletes will know by practice on Wednesday. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT EACH ATHLETE KNOW WHETHER HE/SHE CAN ATTEND WHICH MEETS (for the entire season, but especially this weekend) FOR OUR TEAM MEETING ON MONDAY. This will allow the coaches to put each athlete into the correct meets and events.
Virgin Valley Invite - Friday, March 9, Virgin Valley HS, Mesquite, NV. Throwing events start at 2:30p and running events at 3:00p NV time. Those attending this meet will be excused from the HS at 1:35 (after 4th period) and the MS at 1:45. The bus will come to the MS to pick up the MS'ers.
Snow Canyon Invite - Friday and Saturday, March 9-10, Snow Canyon HS. I just got word this meet will start at 4:00p on Friday (not 3:00 as originally planned), so we may try and move our bus back. But for now, the schedule will be HS out at 1:35 and MS at 1:45. On Saturday, the bus will leave from the HS at 7:45a (no pick up at the MS on Saturday).
Other Bus Info: For both meets, you MUST ride the bus to the meet to participate. If you are leaving with your parent(s), you may after the meet after signing out with the coach. You may NOT leave with someone else's parents, friends, or anyone other than your guardian. In more extreme circumstances, you may leave before the completion of the meet, but this must be approved with the coaches before the meet.
Spring Break Schedule: Each event group will have its own schedule of practice over Spring Break. Please check with your event coaches for your practice schedule. If you are out of town, please do you best to keep to the practice schedule.
Again, we are very excited to have each of you out with our team. This is our best turn out in years! It is very exciting to think what we can accomplish as a team with so many of you coming out and wanting to do great things.
