Our first invite of the season is this weekend at Hurricane HS.  Friday the meet starts at 3:00p and Saturday at 9:00a.  For those athletes competing on Friday, the bus will leave the HS at 1:30 (you will be excused at 1:15) and then pick up the middle schoolers at 1:45 (excused at 1:30).  The bus will return at the conclusion of Friday's events.  Those that want to leave earlier, may with their parent.  Saturday, we will all meet at the high school and the bus will leave at 7:30a.  Again, you may leave the meet early with your parent.  And the bus will return at the conclusion of the meet.

Spring Break and Panther Relays

Next week we hit Spring Break!  Awesome... but you've got to keep running/working out.  Distance runners will meet together on Monday and Wednesday at 8:00a at the high school.  Others who want to come then (throwers/jumpers) and get in a workout are welcome.  Sprinters schedule will be announce.
Getting back from Spring Break we run into our first meet - the Panther Relays.  They will be held Tuesday, March 15th at PVHS.  This is a great meet to start of the season with.  No stress, just fun relays to get the race legs under you a little.  Relay teams will get set on the Monday before the meet, so make sure you are at practice.
Later that week (Friday and Saturday, March 18/19) will be our first big meet of the year - the Hurricane Invite.  Look for more info about it after we get back from break.
Have a great long weekend and PLEASE BE GETTING YOUR WORKOUTS IN AS BEST AS YOU CAN!

Suicidal Tendencies

Some of the distance crew hit the trails on Presidents' Day.  

We headed out to Santa Clara River Reserve and ran Suicidal Tendencies.

Mr. PVHS Fundraiser - Root Beer Mile

Another awesome fundraiser put on by PVXC.  This year Pine View HS is raising money for Jaden Gibby a boy with spina bifida.  Preston Warby, our Mr. PVHS candidate, organized our Root Beer Mile which saw surprises, upsets, new records, a large crowd, and a lot of money raised.  For the first time ever, we ran the race in front of the entire student body at a fire drill (a few even stuck around).  Josie Bushar became a two-time champ on the girls side and Mitch Price upset two-time defending champ Jason Hall to set a new record at 6:39.
