Info for PV athletes and parents

2025 Schedule

Meets get rolling this week with JV at Snow Canyon on Tuesday and Varsity at SC on Friday and Saturday! Then before we know it, it will be the PV Invite - we'll be sending info out about how parents can help soon. Athletes, make sure you are at practice on Monday for our team meeting down on the track, so you can get signed up for races this week.

Last week posting some of this info, so please do it if you haven't

SportTrax: meets will be managed by SportTrax (formerly MeetTrax) this year. Athletes, follow this link to claim your profile and see what your registered for in meets. 

Registration: RegisterMyAthlete needs to be marked "complete".

PARENT/ATHLETE MEETING: 
Because of the busy schedule at this time of year, our parent/athlete info meeting will be held online. Please take a few minutes to look through these slides. Hopefully many parents can sign up to help at the PV Invite. And definitely, reach out with any questions you may have.

NEW TRACK UNIFORM INFO:
Hopefully our uniform tops are here on Monday! The cost for the new Nike top is $50 (they must be paid for before you can pick one up - 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. 
If the tops don't show up in time: Those who have last year's unis should wear those. If you don't, you can borrow one from someone, or you can buy one (we will sell previous year's unis (but they are new) for $20.

FUNDRAISING:
Although fundraising isn't often our favorite thing, we MUST do it to keep our program going. We host two fundraisers through our track team - athletes can participate in both. One is getting sponsors for the PV Invite and the other is a SMS text and social media campaign. Paperwork will be sent home for both and can be found below.
PV Invite Sponsors: Businesses can help sponsor the Invite for $50+. For this, the business receives its name listed on the back of the meet shirt, a link on our webpage, and being listed as an event sponsor on the meet program. Sponsors MUST be turned in to Coach Holt by Friday.
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. 
$50 - PV Track and Field t-shirt
$100 - your new uniform top is paid for -or- 1 night hotel stay paid for
each extra $100 - another 1 night hotel stay paid for
$300 - PV Track and Field sweatshirt

2025 Schedule

We had a great first few days of practice. Each athlete was challenged to bring out a few friends and build up our numbers, finish up registermyathlete, show their parents this blog and view the parent/athlete meeting slides, get their uniform shorts ordered, and register and join us for the Mr./Miss PVHS Fun Run. Thanks to everyone who did those things, and those didn't... Let's get on it now! We'll keep a lot of the info below the same for those that haven't checked it out. And it's not too late to join our team, so bring a new face on Monday.

Registration: Please get your RegisterMyAthlete complete by this time. Track is an amazing sport. We encourage every athlete at Pine View to come participate - we will make you better at your main sport! And we would love to see a big group of Panthers who are looking to get involved in a sport. From beginners to advanced, there is a place and event for everyone on track and field. Invite friends and let's get a big group out for what is going to be an awesome season! MSers, you can catch a bus up to the HS and change then come out to practice.

The tops will be here right about our first meets (we're crossing our fingers that they are here before!)

FUNDRAISING INFO for Mr./Miss PVHS:
Mr./Miss PVHS - Time to get ready for Mr./Miss PVHS and this year our recipients are the amazing Swapp family (the dad is a PV XC and Track alumni... so let's really get after it and help this family out!). We host two events for Track and XC: The Mr./Miss PVHS Fun Run and the Root Beer Mile (registration info for the Fun Run posted below).

Mr./Miss PVHS Fun Run - what we need everyone (all track and field team members) to do is get sponsors for the Fun Run t-shirts. You can get the sponsor info here or come get it from Coach Holt. We needed sponsors turned in by February 7th to get on the shirt, but anyone can still sponsor. You'll be amazed at how many business and people want to help out. Just ask! (PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU LOOK AT THE DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO TURN THE MONEY IN AND WHAT ACCOUNT TO TURN IT INTO)
This is also a great time to get donations for the team toward the PV Invite. So, share with your potential business sponsors that they can also help sponsor the greatest track meet in Utah as well. The money you raise toward sponsorship will help pay for our new uniforms!
