Upcoming Events: 

***REMEMBER ON MEET DAYS YOU MUST BE IN CLASS AND ON TIME***

Wed-Thur 5/8-5/9 - Region @ PV 4:30p Field/5:00p Track, Var athletes. We may have some spots for our top JV athletes (we will fill in all our spots - 4/event - and all our relays, so that may open a few events for our upper JV athletes). We would love to have the whole team here and supporting, and we will need help with hurdle crew and finish line and such. So each PV Track and Field athletes is EXPECTED to be at this meet even if you aren't competing (please be out to the track at 3:30). Please note that we are still planning Region spots; nothing on meettrax is finalized until we announce it as such.

Fri-Sat 5/17-5/18 - State @ BYU, Qualified athletes. We will be leaving Thursday before State. This is basically the end of the school year, so make sure all your grades are good and assignments in before we leave. An itinerary will be posted here. We know many of you want to come and support our team, we'll try and take as many as we can, but spots will definitely be limited. It may be best to make your own transportation and lodging plans. But we'd love you up there to support if you can.

RACE REPORT - we'll get these caught up when I get a little time

BYU & Sentinel Invites - We got a few more qualifiers this weekend: Brodie in the shot, Kwade in the 200, the boys 4x100, and Seedar in the jav.  Also a huge congrats to TJ on breaking his SCHOOL RECORD once again in the discus (although it feels like we have seen this many times, and we have, don't take for granted how amazing a school record is!). Sorry I don't have to write much more today, but good job to many new PRs (we're looking at you thrower ladies) and medalists. Also, thanks so much for making the trip as stress-free as possible under weird hotel circumstances, and for just being great people that do great things especially when were in the community. Sentinel Meet Results. BYU Meet Results. Performance Chart (not updated yet... ahhh time!)

Quote of the Week - 

"You have your best races when you don't put too much pressure on yourself to hit a certain time."

 - Ali Ince

Track and Field can be such a numbers driven sport - we have SQs to hit and school records, wind readings and individual and team sports. But when it ultimately comes down to it, we do our very best when we set all this aside and just COMPETE! That's what these last two weeks are about... competing. You can set aside times and all that other stuff, and just go out there and compete to your very best ability on that given day. And when we do that, our best marks will show up, State Qualifiers will happen, and our team and individual places will be what we want. All because we can now set everything else aside and just go COMPETE!
