***Tickets to State for Parents/Fam/Fans***

Great job at Region everyone. Congrats to all our Region placers and medalists, to our State Qualifiers, and to the girls for the absolutely dominant win! And before we go too far, thanks to all those who helped out with the Ironman. Some of the jobs were boring and others kept you on your toes, but thanks for being there and willing to help support our team.

Now it's time to get that final push for State. We will have a team meeting at 3:00p in the PV lecture hall tomorrow. We'll go over events, strategy, and a few other things to get prepped. Check back here on Monday or Tuesday for the full itinerary for this coming weekend. We will take a few alternates for our relays and (maybe, if there are spots on the bus and in the hotel) a few others up with us. So make sure you're around if you want that to be you. 

*please note - please check sporttrax to make sure we didn't miss any qualifiers. Entries have to be in by Sunday evening, so we need mistakes caught before then.*

MEET RECAP:

Region - A rundown of our finalists and SQs for the boys: Kwade made finals in the 100 (but we pulled him for injury); Nick took 3rd and Carter B. 5th in the 400 to advance to State; Benji took 7th in the 800; Elliot took 3rd in the 1600 to make 8 State Qualifiers in the boys 1600, Nate took 7th and Ben 8th; Nate and Ben took 2nd and 3rd in the 3200 to make it to State, and Dustin took 7th; Burkley took 8th in the shot with a nice PR; and Paul and Tray took 3rd and 7th in the Long Jump; the boys 4x400 took 3rd; and our lone Region Champ for the boys was the 4x800 team of Kyle, Carter R., Jake, and Carson.

We greatly appreciate the parents working to get things (food and drinks) together for our athletes up at State. Here's the message from Randi if you didn't get it:

Hi parents,

This is Randi Conrad I was hoping to get some help providing sandwiches, healthy snacks and drinks for our athletes this year for state track.  BYU doesn't have many options for our athletes and I feel our athletes will do even more amazing if we could help them out with food at the meet. 

I will need to borrow some big coolers

I will gladly accept donations of drinks, snacks and money. 

I think fruit and vegetables would be an amazing things to have available.

I won't be able to do this without everybody's help. I'm not sure where to start and  I would love any ideas or suggestions you have.

My email is jadeandrandi@gmail.com 

You can text me (435)632-4277 my Venmo is @Ran-con

Thank you, I'm so excited for our team this year!

May 5 - 10 *UPDATED with IRONMAN info for SATURDAY*

*IRONMAN UPDATE*** Parents please help you athlete be here to this... we need everyone's help. Here's the spreadsheet with info about where you should be. (Here is the pdf with a full description of each location and job.) We sent out an email with info about meeting time and stuff for THIS SATURDAY, but in case you didn't get it, here it is... 

Hey {first name},

We are excited to get the Ironman here THIS SATURDAY! My name is Dave Holt, and I'm the Run Pointer Captain. 

We've been working hard to make sure we fill all our spots. So thank you so much for volunteering.  Most of you are members of the Pine View HS track team, but we'll also be joined by some other members of the community who are also volunteering (excited to have you with us). 

For the High School team: we are going to gather at Hurst Ace Hardware (160 N Bluff St) at 8:30 on Saturday to organize everyone, get our shirts, and get assigned to our spots. PLEASE BE THERE and on time! (and remember that certain roads and routes might be closed off, so plan plenty of time to get there.) We will then scatter to our spots for the day. Please bring plenty of WATER, FOOD for lunch and snacks, sunscreen, and anything else you think you'll need (maybe a lawn chair to sit when you get a chance, clothes appropriate for the weather, etc). You're going to be at your spot pretty much all day, so plan on it. 

For our Community Volunteers: if you have the first shift, you can also join us at the same gathering location to get organized and get your shirt. Those who have later shifts, you can just report to the location you signed up for at the appropriate time and we will get your shirt to you then - or if you don't have specific spot, shoot me a text anytime and we'll get one set for you.

If you need anything during the shift, my number is 801-834-8524. 

This google doc has a spreadsheet for our shifts (and for the HS team, your location and who you are working with). Please feel free to grab another friend or two and bring them along with you to keep life entertaining. I can't guarantee a shirt for them, but I'll try and steal a few extra!

thanks

=========================================================================

There really haven't been too many weeks better in PV Track and Field history than what we just had. Huge congrats to the entire team on just a great week. We are so proud of our JV athletes who finished up their seasons with great races and events up and JV Region and SUU. Thanks for coming out and being part of this team. Non-Seniors, we hope that you keep coming back with even more passion and knowledge and keep our team growing in the future. Seniors, thanks for everything you've done to make PV Track the amazing program that it is.

That all being said, it isn't all goodbyes and see-you-laters... we have more work to do. This week we head into Region and are really gearing up for State. We will have a team meeting at 3:00p in the PV lecture hall tomorrow to go over Region plans and strategy. Everyone competing at Region (or if you think you might be, or if you are still wanting to come out and be part of the team for the next couple weeks but your racing is done) please be there.

*please note - entries in sporttrax for region are not set (or even real!); entries will be updated Sunday and Monday*

MEET RECAP:

JV Region - Congrats to the boys 4x100 for getting their State Qualifier. We also had some really great results from others: Julia was 4th in the 100h; Porter R. 7th and Josiah 8th in the 110h; Mia 6th in the 300h; Josiah 7th in the 300h; Andi 8th in the 400; Sydney 2nd, Vanessa 3rd, and Dagen 8th in the 800; Benji 1st, Mason 3rd, and Carson 5th in the 800; Sydney 2nd in the 1600; Trevor 2nd in the 1600, Joseph 4th, and Dustin 5th; Kyler 8th in the discus; Isi 5th, Julia 7th, and Mia 8th in the Long Jump; and Porter G. and Cooper tying for 4th in the High Jump. We had a lot of other great PRs and Season's Bests as well. Overall the boys took 2nd and the girls took 3rd - very impressive for our team which isn't nearly as big as most of the other Region teams. Results

SUU Invite - We had a very good meet up at SUU with great weather (until the jav debacle). Kwade took 3rd in the 100 and hit his State Qualifier in the 200. Nick took 5th in the 400. In the 800 Tevye was 3rd, Avery 4th, and Andi 6th. Tevye won the 1600, with Avery 2nd, and Sariah 3rd. Trevor took 2nd in the 1600, Nate took 4th, and Ben finished 8th. Avery won the 3200 and earned her State Qualifier. Nate won the 3200 for the boys. Aspen won the discus and took 8th in the javelin. Claire took 5th in the high jump. Sydney took 3rd in the Steeple. And Coach Jason took 4th in the 1600 and Coach Janz pulled off the rare 1600/200 double win! Results

BYU Invite - 2nd Place team for the ladies... very impressive for 7 girls and only 1 relay! The guys did a great job, too, even with some sickness taking away solid points. Ashley set a new School Record in the 100 to take 4th and Jade place a very strong 7th. Elsie also hit a nice PR in the 100. Tori just missed scoring in the 100h with a 9th place finish, but still ran a very strong time. In the 200, Jade put up an enormous PR with a spectacular time to take 2nd and set a new School Record. Ashley was not far off, breaking her own previous school record and taking 3rd. Emmalee ran a nice PR in the 800 to take 7th and put herself as the #1 seed in 4A. In the boys 800, Bridger just missed his PR and ran his third 1:53 of the season. Kyle, Jake, and Bender all hit PRs. Jake and Elliot hit PRs in the 1600. Kiera set another School Record in the discus with a huge throw in the finals to take 1st. Mailey made finals and took 9th (a big accomplishment for a freshman). Mailey also PRd in the shot, and Kiera took 3rd with a strong set of throws. The boys 4x800 of Kyle, Carter, Elliot, and Jake just missed our school record and took 4th overall. Ashley tied the School Record (from 1993) to take 5th in long jump. Tori hit a season's best high jump to take 3rd. And... a huge shout out to the girls 4x100 of Elsie, Ashley, Tori, and Jade for their tremendous 4x100 to take the win and set a NEW STATE RECORD! 2025 Performance Chart (not quite updated yet... but soon). Results

Last week, at practice, we talked about how we are at that halfway mark in the season. That point where we can choose to either be complacent and just kind of chill or refocus and make some strong growth as individuals and as a team. Here are some areas where you can refocus that will inevitably help you progress: Sleep - everyone should be sleeping more! Shoot for 8 hours. The best way to do this is take your wake-up time and count it back to see when you should be going to sleep. Then set a goal on working toward that. You might only need to adjust a little, or maybe you have a long way to go. But if you try adding 15-20 minutes more sleep this week, you're body and mind will thank you. And there is no doubt you will see progress from this added recovery time. School Work - one of the most stressful things in your life is school, and that stress is a big drain on your recovery and focus (I know, I give many of you a big chunk of that stress!). You can't get out of school work, but we can all manage it better. A few pro-tips from someone who has been around school for a long time: use the free/work time given to you in class (or study skills classes) (even 10 minutes of work done a the end of a class can add up and give you a lot of free time later); don't procrastinate (putting stuff off is human nature, but it always adds up to more work and stress); use teammates/classmates as resources (have them help tutor you, ask specific teammates who do well to give you extra encouragement). We are doing a grade check this week. To compete at the meets, you must have your grades turned in to Coach Decker by Wednesday (printed off). How good do they need to be? Bare minimum only 1 F; from there we will work on a plan to get them to a much better level. Practice - we hope you find joy in coming to practice, being around your teammates, working hard. But even then, sometimes we slack and take an easy road. We've had some great days with a full team and some poor days where we are missing a lot. Let's refocus on the importance of being at practice. Even if you are dealing with an injury, you should go into the trainers and then come out to practice and be around the team and see if there is anything you can help with. Nutrition - eat just a little better, drink just a little more water. A small improvement in putting in better stuff to your body will yield big benefits in what you get out of it. 

That's a bunch, and there is way more. Think of a few ideas of things you can do to refocus yourself and make these next few weeks even better for yourself and the team, and we'll discuss a few of those ideas on Monday.

Ironman Volunteer Opportunity - On May 10th, St. George is hosting its final Ironman. Every year, track has been gone and couldn't help out. But this year, we will be around. And the Ironman Foundation has offered us a very nice grant for helping out. We need athletes, parents, family, and friends to help cover our assigned spots as pointers. This is about the easiest job of all time. Basically throughout the day, you will be at an assigned spot and point participants where to go. We challenged all PV track and field athletes the other day to help participate (we had a record low amount of fundraising this year... and we get it, many of us are tired of asking everyone we know for money, but this is a way that we can actually earn our money and get involved in helping our team) and we expect that we fill these spots. Many spots have 2+ people on them. Get in there and claim those with your friends/family. However, some only have 1 person. Hopefully, we have enough people that we can actually assign multiple volunteers to each spot so you have someone to hang out with throughout the day. We really need people to cover this... PLEASE PLAN ON BEING THERE. Go in now to claim your spots; first come, first serve. Volunteer Sign Ups to claim your spot (we will go do the official sign up in the next week)

MEET RECAP:

JV @ Hurricane - Hey it was windy in Hurricane. Nonetheless, our JV crew continues to improve and impress. Although we have a smaller team, as coaches we have noticed that we have a great core group that is going to build into a very good team in the future years. Like we talked about the other day, don't get caught comparing yourself to others. Rather, each day strive to give your best effort and over time you will see great improvement. A few top results: Porter and Braxton took top 5 in the 110h; Carter was 8th in the 200; Jaxon and Cash took top 8 in the 300h; Jesus and Paul were top 8 in the 400; Joseph, Dustin, and Miles went 1-3 in the 1600 with Nathan also in the top 8, Travion, Austin, Ali'i, and Carson all took top 8 in the LJ; and Zach and Kash took top 8 in the HJ. Results

Hurricane Invite - Hey it was windy in Hurricane. But we did get two relays State Qualified: girls 4x400 and boys 4x800 teams. Despite not throwing out full teams and events, both boys and girls took 3rd showing our strength as a program. A few top results: Ashley 2nd and Jade 4th in the 100; Kwade 6th in the 100 and 5th in the 200; Tori 4th in the 100h; Jade 6th and Elsie 8th in the 400; Avery won the 800 with Vanessa 6th and Sariah 7th; Elliot 4th in the 800; Tevye won the 1600; Mason also won the 1600 with Nate 3rd and Bender 4th; Will was 7th in the 3200; Mailey won the disc and so did Ethan and he also took 2nd with a SB (Season's Best) in the shot put; Brock took 7th in the javelin; Claire was 6th in the long jump and she took 3rd in the high jump; Tori won the high jump; and Zach hit an 8th place tying make in the high jump;  The 2025 Performance Chart probably won't change much because everything was wind aided (or hurt), but we'll take a look at it and see if there are any changes. Results

MEET RECAP:

Panther Relays - We had a fun time getting some relays in at the Panther Relays. No official results were kept, and maybe that was for the best!

Pine View Invite - One of our best meets of all time! Many SQs and a ton of PRs, and even some SCHOOL RECORDS. Bridger took down to school records with the 800 and 1600. The 4x200 ladies also set a new school (and meet) record. We had big marks in our girls shot: Kiera and Tea hit big PRs. Individual SQs from Kyle (1600 and 800), Jake (3200 and 1600), Avery (1600), Jade (400), Carter R. (800), and the 4x200 girls. There were so many great performances, it would take forever to list them, but a couple super noteworthy ones: Liam 800, Sariah 800, and Elliot 1600 all hit very impressive breakthrough marks. 2025 Performance Chart is updated (girls continue to dominate the list, but we had some huge marks that made our records, go check it out). Results

PV INVITE HELP: some more info will be posted on here on Monday about helping at the concession stand, with the coaches' dinner on Friday, and help at the meet. So check back here on Monday. We also need all our athletes to bring drinks for concessions. Boys please bring an 8 pack of gatorade/powerade 20 oz bottles (please get this size) whatever flavor. Girls please bring a pack of 16.9 oz water (24 pack or whatever). We need these by Wednesday if possible, so we can purchase any extras we might need.

SIGN UPS: Here is our official sign ups to help with Concessions and the Coach/Officials Dinner. We need a lot of help here. Parent's please sign up. We had a few parents volunteer to help from our "Parent Meeting". We haven't put you on the official list, so go on either (or both) of these sign ups and add yourselves.  

    Concession Stands: Parents please sign up to help (and if someone wants to kind of take the lead, please let us know, we have all the info to help you)

    Coach/Officials Dinner: Parents please sign up to bring food and help serve (and again, if someone wants to kind of take the lead, let us know). We could also use some monitary donations to help pay for the meat. If you would like to help there, Venmo Coach Holt @Dave-Holt77 and label as "Invite Dinner" so that the money goes in the right place. 

MEET RECAP:

JV @ Snow Canyon - A real solid first meet for our team. We had a lot of great performances to start the season. We are especially proud of our athletes out competing for the first time. We had four marks make our 2025 Performance Chart: Burkley's shot, Elsie's 100 and 200, and Julia's HJ; great job! We also had some good results in the sprints from Carson, and Freshman girls (Payton, Mia, and Payton). Results

Snow Canyon Invite - PV came out strong in our first Invite of the season. The girls ended as meet champions, and in the combined scores, PV took 2nd overall. Please take these positive vibes to friends and see if we can get a few more people out to the team. Tell your friends we'll work with them in their busy club sports schedules and everything else; we just need a few more people to take this team right to the top! We had some very notable performances this past weekend. Some of our best were two school records: Ashley in the 200 and Keira in the Disc! We had a ton of State Qualifiers (SQs) and a lot of finalists and point scorers. Let's take a second and give a huge shout-out to Tevye (1600 & 3200) and Mailey (disc) for hitting their SQs in their very first meet. We've updated our 2025 Performance Chart to reflect this first week (the purpose of this chart is to attempt to even out the results from all the different events and keep track of our top performances; it is just for fun, but it is pretty accurate and we've been using it since 2016, so it has a lot of our programs history on it). Our 43 marks hitting the chart is our 2nd most ever from one meet and includes 5 new girls marks on the all-time record board (also, the girls have 16 of the top 20 marks on the season! Way to go ladies!). Results  

Kanab Invite - We had a great time over at Kanab this last Saturday. Despite some timing issues and delays, we recorded some great marks and represented PV very well. With our limited entries, both the girls and the boys teams took 2nd place. We also got some new SQs: Bridger and Emmalee in the 400, and Ethan in the shot. With also had a lot of event winners and new PRs. Results

NEW TRACK UNIFORM INFO:

New uniforms are in. We'll pick them up Monday. You have to have paid to get your new top. The cost for the new Nike top is $50 (if you are fundraising and hit the $100 mark, your top is free). If you haven't ordered shorts (this is done individually), please go back to the previous post and check out the info for uniforms and ordering shorts. 

FUNDRAISING:

One last call for fundraising. It is too late for sponsors to get on the Invite t-shirt; however, it is not too late to turn in business sponsors if they are still willing.

SMS Text and Social Media Campaign: Instead of using a company (like the last couple years), we will be using our PV Venmo to collect the money. The paperwork has an example message you could copy, a place to plan who to send messages to, as well as suggestions for including the Venmo on your text and social media posts.

For both types of donations, just make sure that any money sent to the PV Venmo is labeled "track sponsor - (your name)"
We've also included a list of incentives to help encourage you to participate.

"Champions are made when no one is watching" - Muhammad Ali. 

This is so true. Many people work when coaches and teammates are around or there is someone to impress. But those who really want to be great (and be great for their team and their friends), work just as hard (or harder) when there is no spotlight on them! ***
