Week of Mar. 4 - 9

We have a meet this week!  What?!  Some of us are ready to roll, others are not.  Don't let that scare you; we all have to start somewhere.

Registration:  Hugely important... Everyone needs to have their registermyathlete done!  This can found at registermyathlete.com.  If you have competed in a sport at PVHS this school year, this will be an easy few clicks of the button and you'll be done.  If you haven't competed in a sport this year, you will also need to get your PHYSICAL.  This needs to be done ASAP.  And finally, everyone needs to get his/her PARTICIPATION FEE paid.  This can be done at PVHS, through registermyathlete, or at myschoolfees.com (I think).  If you don't have these steps done, you will no longer be able to practice with us.  You must have your registermyathlete complete by Monday and your Participation Fee paid by Wednesday to participate at the meet this weekend.

Meet Schedule: Check out the 2019 schedule on the link to the right.

Athletes of the Week:
Get your nominations in for this week (via text or email).  Last week we had 0 nominees... #bumma.  List the name and a short reason why he/she has earned it.  These need to be submitted by Monday at lunch.

Fundraiser: If you are getting a sponsor to help pay for you participation fee or hotel fee (or just to help us pay for more track equipment) this MUST be collected by Friday to get on the PV Invite shirts.

Schedule for the Week:
Monday - regular practice schedule with a team meeting in the PVHS lecture hall.  (Distance runners check your schedule, for long run in the morning at 5:45a - wear white/bright clothing.)
Tuesday-Thursday - regular practice schedule. 
Friday-Saturday - Snow Canyon Invite.  We will get as many athletes as possible into this meet (we have 6/event, but priority will be given to the Varsity level athletes). Bus Schedule: Fri - HS out after 4th period and bus will leave there shortly after.  MS out at 1:45 and the bus will come get you.  Sat - Bus will leave PVHS at 7:45a.  ALL ATHLETES MUST RIDE THE BUS TO THE MEET.  Athletes may ride the bus home or GO WITH A PARENT/GUARDIAN AFTER THE MEET HAS FINISHED and signing out with a coach (we do ask that athletes stay throughout the meet to promote team unity!).  Here is the schedule for the meet (click the schedule link at on the top left).  We will talk about uniforms at our Monday meeting.

Can you still join track?: We are still looking for track athletes, but registration and fees must be taken care of by the end of this week for those that are just coming out.

Important Announcements for the PV Invite... please read - we'll leave this up here for a couple weeks... The dance has been moved to the Saturday of the PV Invite.  It is imperative that ALL athletes are at the meet Friday and Saturday to help at the meet (on other dance/meet days, we will try and work schedules out as best as possible, but this time you MUST be there).  So please plan your day date (or tell your dance date) with this in mind.  Saturday meet clean up usually finishes by 2:00p.  I know this is a pain, but PLEASE plan on being available to help.
Parent Help - We will need a lot of parent help at the Invite.  If you are willing to volunteer to work in the concessions, at the timing tent, or with the field event weigh-ins, please let Coach Holt know ASAP (pineviewtrack@gmail.com or reply to the Remind text) - we've had some say they are willing to help, but no one has sent a confirmation: please text or email.

Youngsters: Practice for our 6th-8th grade developmental camp will be held Monday and Thursday from 3:00-4:00 at PVHS.  Get paperwork at practice.  Youth meet (for grades K-8th) schedule has been updated.

XC CAMP info for distance runners:  High Altitude Camp has been scheduled for July 29th (Mon) through August 1st (Thurs).  So see if you can get things scheduled around that.  Our moratorium will be July 1st - 6th, so that would be a great week to hit some family vacations and stuff.

Thought of the Week: "The strength of the team is each individual member.  The strength of each member is the team." -Phil Jackson
Pretty good words by a pretty good coach.  There was a reason Michael Jordan was arguably the greatest basketball player ever and why he won so many championships.  Sure talent helped, and he was definitely a very hard worker.  But what truly made him great was learning (from people like Phil Jackson) that every member of the team brought something that could help him be better - just as he could bring many things to make each of them better.  Then together, that's when the true greatness happened.
