It is truly unbelievable that we are at this point in the season. It has been a great journey and has gone so quickly. We hope that you have found something amazing and a lot of joy as well. This week we have Region and we wish the best of luck to all our athletes who are participating. Before we get into all that, here's a recap of the last week:
JV Region at Canyon View: It wasn't a great day weather-wise, but we still had many of our athletes go out and do their best this past week at JV Region. Through the sleet and rain, Allison Brown set a PR in the 1600. Harrison and Cody both PR'ed in the LJ. Tanner PR'ed in the 3200. Carter PR'ed in the 1600. Jaron PR'ed in the 300h while placing 2nd and took 4th in the 110h. Madeline PR'ed in the 1600. And Sarah S. PR'ed and won the 3200. Carson, Tavin, and Jose all scored points in the 1600. Kathy medaled in the 400. Tavin, Boston, and Grant all placed top 8 in the 800. Sarah L. finished 6th in the 300h. And James and Tanner placed in the top 8 in the 3200.
Herriman Twilight Invite: We also had many great marks at Herriman on Friday evening. Jake improved on his State Q in the 110h. Jacey earned her State Qualifier while placing 5th in the 1600 and Jessica placed 7th. Alli improved on her 400 State Q and placed 2nd in the 400. Samson also placed 2nd in the 400 (where was also saw great races from Macen and Colin). Jake also improved his SQ in the 300h while placing 4th and is now one of only 8 guys in Utah to break 40 in the event. Jada ran a very strong 800 and took 4th and earned her State Qualifier. Caroline placed 8th in the event. Alex (1st), Logan (6th), and Evan (8th) all hit a SB or PR in the 800 and Alex's raced earned him a State Qualifier. Samson came out of the 2nd heat to PR, improve his SQ, and place 6th in the 200. And finally, Gracie had a nice PR in the 3200 to earn 4th and she was followed in by Ellie who placed 5th.
Athletes of the Week: Get your nominations in (via text or email).
Schedule for the Week:
Monday - regular practice schedule with a team meeting in the PVHS lecture hall. We need everyone at the team meeting (even if you are done racing for the season - we will discuss help at Region as well as finalize events for Region... we will have open spots in some events that JV athletes can fill in!). There is also the party Monday evening to discuss. (Distance runners check your schedule, it is a little different)
Tuesday - regular practice schedule.
Wednesday & Thursday - Region at Dixie. Because of our track condition (especially our LJ runway) Region has been moved to Dixie. We will still have a lot to do and we want everyone there to support our team, so please plan on coming. MS'ers will need to catch the first bus over to the HS after school and quickly get out front where the HS'ers will be waiting to get on the bus over to Dixie. We really, really want everyone to be there and staying throughout the meet to help support and cheer on our teammates! Schedule for Region can be found at the top of this link - Parents and athletes please note... this schedule will have more spacing than a usual meet, that is to help our athletes have time to recover in between events as best as possible.
Friday - regular practice schedule (and dungeon clean up - we need everyone there to help with this, please)
Saturday - distance crew will have a team workout for those advancing to State
NOTE TO ALL ATHLETES AND PARENTS: Thanks so much for an amazing year. This is going to be a watershed year for our program. In years to come, we will look back at this season and remember all the great things that took place as a time our program really moved in an important direction. There have been so many wonderful memories made. We appreciate our Seniors so much for all they have done and will miss them so much! Thanks again.
Thought of the Week: "Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it." - Greg Anderson
As we come to the end of the season, we hope that you will look back fondly on much of what has happened - even realizing that the difficult times were part of a greater journey. And as you move on to the next part of your journey, whatever it may be, strive to find pleasure and joy in all that you do.
XC Reminder - For those interested in XC next fall, please remember to get your registermyathlete complete and your physicals scheduled. First day of summer practice is June 4th, 7:00a and Washington Elementary.
