We are getting near the end... can you believe it? The progress we have seen from most of you has been a lot of fun to be a part of. Let's make these last few weeks great. This week we will split our squad between the Cedar Invite on Fri-Sat and the Orem Invite on Sat. (info below).
Hurricane JV: We had a very strong showing at the JV meet in Hurricane this past week. Both the boys and girls teams placed 2nd with many scoring finishers and new PR's (in fact we had over 70 new PR's set at Hurricane!). We had so many, it would take pages to mention them all... so take a look at the full results here and find a teammate to congratulate on a great meet.
Dixie Invite: Great job to all those who participated at the Dixie Invite. Full results are here. We had many great performances. Celeste won the jav with a new PR and the #2 mark in Utah this year at 124'. Samson made finals in 3 events culminating in a new PR in the 400. Jessica hit a State Qualifier in the 3200. We had 3 guys in the finals of the LJ (Michael, Colin, and Dallin). And we got to watch Alli set two new school records with a 5:06 in the 1600 and 2:15 in the 800! And mixed in there were many other PR's and finals performances. It was a great weekend of track and field for PV.
Athletes of the Week: Get your nominations in (via text or email). We will present them at the team meeting on Monday. Let's get some nominees for the great performances at Hurricane and Dixie and the examples of great attitudes and leadership we see everyday.
Top Performance Chart: Here is the most recent update. A lot of great marks and improvements on here this week. Check out Insta or Twitter (@pvxctrack) for our Top 5 performances all-time at PVHS (we've got a few this year getting close).

Thought of the Week: "Comparison is the thief of joy." - Teddy Roosevelt
What an awesome thought. We see so many of you progressing and doing great things; yet, sometimes there isn't as much joy as there should be. The biggest reason... you've compared yourself to someone else, yourself at a different time, who you think you should be, etc. It is important to let all that go and just do your best... and HAVE FUN DOING IT!
And a little side thought: Get your grades up... There are a lot grades that need to be improved out there... get yours taken care of.
A little XC Info - High Altitude Camp will be held our usual dates during the last week of July-first week of August (July 30-Aug 2) and we will be going to Pine Lake (up near Bryce Canyon). We will also have a preseason parent and athlete meeting during the first part of May - an announcement will be made for everyone interested to be in attendance.
