March 4 - 9 (SC JV and Invite info *updated with bus info*)

Now we are rolling; no stopping until we are done... meets this week, fundraiser going, PV Invite coming up. We need to focus on getting the PV Invite ready to roll. Parents, please sign up to help (on Parent Meeting slides below); and athletes, make sure you have scheduled to be here and available to help on Friday, March 22nd (11:45a-10:00pm'ish) and Saturday, March 23rd (8:00a-2:00pish)

A few things that we need to get done: Registermyathlete - must be fully complete; Physical - has to be done; Participation Fee must be paid; parents and athletes, look at short slide show.

Also, let's make sure our grades are looking solid. 3rd quarter determines your eligibility for the season (this week's meets are based upon 2nd quarter).

Thanks for all your efforts with the fundraising. Keep it up! I hate fundraising, too. But we need the help for all our equipment. And it is definitely not too late to get started. Those getting sponsors for the PV Invite, we must have those by Friday 3/8 to get on the shirt.

This Track and Field Skills Camp is designed to help our young athletes learn the skills and basics of a variety of track and field events in a fun and well-coached atmosphere. Spread the word to those who might want to participate.

Uniform - Our uniform is the maroon top we've been using the last few years. We have a pretty solid number of sizes and fits still available. The tops are $35 and can be paid for through the PVHS finance office. Each athlete needs this maroon top. We also will use all black shorts/spandex. We have a a few of these for boys and a lot for girls. Spandex are $25 and also can be paid for through the PVHS finance office. Please remember that if you are a varsity athlete, you MUST have the team top and matching shorts (in case you are ever on a relay - plus we know they are legal and you won't be DQ'ed for uniform violations). We also have a variety of alternate/practice tops that can be purchased for between $10 and $30. These will be paid for to our club venmo account. These tops can be worn in individual events at certain meets (and at practice). 

Quote of the Week - 

"Before enlightenment chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment chop wood, carry water." - Zen Proverb

Wherever you are on the scale of awesomeness ("pretty dang awesome" all the way up to "truly awesome"), the thing is the thing. Work hard, focus on the basics, be consistent, push toward your goals, strive to help others, and on and on. It doesn't matter who you are or how amazing you are at track (or anything else), those who become great work hard at all the basics to become great. And then they keep working hard at all the basics to stay there and become even better.
