March 6-11 (SC Invite)

***IMPORTANT UPDATE TO SC INVITE***

We have had busing issues and will have to leave much earlier than planned.  Please read on...

For Friday, the bus will now need to leave the HS around 12:45.  Because of this, the HS'ers will be excused for 4th and 5th - please be available right at the end of lunch.  The MS'ers will be excused at 12:50 - please get to the front of the school by the PVMS sign and be waiting for us.  

If this is a major problem (e.g. you must be at school for a test, etc.,) then you may have a parent bring you to the meet and check you in with one of the coaches - you are still NOT allowed to drive to the meet yourself; you will not compete if you do that.
ANOTHER UPDATE - we have a bus to take us to the meet on Fri, but not home. So, all athletes will need to arrange a ride after the meet. It MUST be with an adult (it CANNOT be with a student).  Please brig a signed permission slip from a guardian if you are going with an adult who is not your guardian. Saturday is all good (leaving from hs at 7:45a). Those not racing, you are still fine to do your own thing. 

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

We are in the full swing of things now.  It's been great having some new athletes come out and join us in the past few weeks.  Important info for the upcoming week:

Monday practice - even with the short day, we will meet at 3:00p in the lecture hall and practice after.  We will be assigning athletes to events for the SC Invite at this meeting... BE THERE! (distance runners: Levels 2 and 3 will have a long run on Monday morning at 5:30a; meet at the school and wear your camp shirts)

Register My Athlete - this must be complete by Monday if you want to be considered to compete at Snow Canyon this weekend.

Fees - you will also need to have your $85 Participation Fee paid.  We have run into a few unexpected snags with paying for the Participation Fee with sponsors $, but they seem to have been worked out!  Thanks to our great administration and those at the district who listened and developed a plan.  Just make sure you put all your sponsor money in the boys or girls fundraiser; then bring me the receipt and let me know what you need covered!

Snow Canyon Invite - will be held Fri and Sat.  Not everyone will be competing, but we will fill all the spots we can (up to 6 / event).  The bus will be leaving the HS at 1:35 on Fri and then picking up the 9th graders (out at 1:40).  On Saturday, everyone will meet the bus at PVHS at 7:45.  You MUST ride the bus to be eligible to compete.  Athletes may leave after their assigned events with a parent, upon getting checked out with a coach.  Schedule of Events

Youth Track Program - we are continuing to build our youth program.  If you know of anyone from K-8th grade that would like to come join your developmental camp, invite them to join us on Mondays and Thursdays at 4:00p!

Track Season is Starting!

9th-12th Grade -
The season begins on Tuesday the 21st!  We will begin with a short meeting in the lecture hall at PVHS at 3:00, followed up by practice out on the track.  We are very excited about all the athletes that are coming (or planning on coming) out, the improvements at our facilities (new shot, jav, and disc areas), and our coaching staff: Coach Aiono (throws), Coach Morgan (sprints/jumps), Coach Zabriskie (sprints/jumps/hurdles), Coach Roberts (distance), Coach Decker (distance), and Coach Holt.
Those athletes who are still finishing up a winter season, good luck at do well at State; we'll see you when your season is done.

Decathlon -
We are planning on having some multi-event days to help everyone learn about the different track and field events and help guide you to which events you would like to compete in.  On Mon-Wed Feb 27-March 1, we will be teaching and competing in 2-3 events/day.  This is a fun event and gets our season off to a great start.  Please plan on being at practice those days.

Please look at the Season Info Paper and bring back the signed back page to Coach Holt.

Elementary-Middle School -
PVHS will be hosting a developmental camp for kids who would like to learn more about the sport and participate in our youth meets (the schedule for these meets is still being finalized).
Our program will be supervised by Coach Martha Baker as well as the high school coaches and athletes.  The goal of our program is to provide interested youth an opportunity to learn the various aspects of track and field as well as receive supervised coaching and opportunities to train and compete.
We will practice on Mondays and Thursdays at 4:00p at PVHS.  These practices will start on Monday, February 27th.
A signed release form will be required to participate (will be posted soon), as well as a fee to help cover the coaching and racing cost; there will also be an option to by our club uniform for $20 (these totals will be updated/posted soon).

Spirit Pack!

If you want some gear from the Spirit Pack you MUST PURCHASE IT BY JANUARY 25th!
Go to pvtrack17.itemorder.com to view the items.
None of this gear is required (the uniform is separate - although there are tops and shorts that can be purchased here, they are workout gear/supplemental gear and NOT the official uniform that will be purchased later).
Unfortunately, this year our gear can NOT be purchased with sponsor money.  So this is just a suggestion... Use your sponsor money for your participation fee, hotel $, and official uniform (which is purchased through the school - more info coming later).  Then use the money you would have used for those things to purchase a few spirit pack items if you would like.
Anyway... get that stuff order ASAP if you want something.

Letter sent to Parents - Help at Region

Parents,

We are coming up on the end of a very successful track season (and a who knows school year!).  

For the Region meet next week (Wed/Thurs @ DHills) we have been assigned to work the javelin.  We are looking for any parents/family/friends that could help us with this event.  You don't necessarily need to know anything about the jav, just be willing to help.  If we have enough helpers, we could work out a schedule that would allow you to go watch your own kids in their events.  The ultimate goal would be that the coaches don't have to all be there running the event so we can actually go coach the kids.  

Thanks for all your help this year... It really has been a very successful and fun season.  We look forward to the last couple of meets and seeing the great improvement the kids are ready for.

We are hoping to be able to have a little more of an end-of-the-year get together this year than we have in the past.  It is a very busy time of year and it makes it hard to have a larger banquet; so we are thinking an ice cream social where we could give out some awards and recognize kids would be fun.  More info will be coming out about that soon.
