Important Announcements for the PV Invite... please read - we'll leave this up here for for just one more week... The dance has been moved to the Saturday of the PV Invite. It is imperative that ALL athletes are at the meet Friday and Saturday to help at the meet (on other dance/meet days, we will try and work schedules out as best as possible, but this time you MUST be there). So please plan your day date (or tell your dance date) with this in mind. Saturday meet clean up usually finishes by 2:00p. I know this is a pain, but PLEASE plan on being available to help.
Parent Help - We will need a lot of parent help at the Invite. If you are willing to volunteer to work in the concessions, at the timing tent, or with the field event weigh-ins, please let Coach Holt know ASAP (pineviewtrack@gmail.com or reply to the Remind text) - we've had some say they are willing to help, but we could use more... You will be hearing from us early in the week with assignments.

Freshmen - Junior Girls - water: a case of 16.9 oz water bottles
Senior Girls and all Boys - sports drink (such as Gatorade or Powerade): an 8-14 pack of 20 oz bottles (there are many sizes, please get the 20 oz bottles for consistency)
Performance Chart: The first edition of our PV Track and Field Performance Chart based upon our Scoring Tables has been updated for the SC Invite. We use this to rate performance across events and gender as well as to help us decide who will travel to away invitationals. In this first week we see Alli (1600) and Marcus (200, 100) at the top of the chart.
Herriman Qualifying Marks: These are the marks Herriman used last year for their invite. I would imagine they will be very similar this year. Please note the comment at the bottom of the page.
Youngsters: Practice for our 6th-8th grade developmental camp will be held Monday and Thursday from 3:00-4:00 at PVHS. Get paperwork at practice. Youth meet (for grades K-8th) schedule has been updated.
NCAA Tournament Challenge: For years we have had a track and XC tournament challenge. And although Coach Holt has never won, this is the year! Get your picks in at ESPN.com and join our group - Group Name: PVXCTrack Password: Panthers
Alumni Update: Many former Panthers participated in track meets over the weekend. Down at the UNLV Invite Celeste Fiame threw 122' in the jav for Dixie St., Carson Horspool ran a 16:11 in the 5000 for Weber State, and Mike Finch ran a 4:12 in the 1500 for SUU.
Thought of the Week: "... You need to surround yourself with far-sighted visionaries. You need to surround yourself with people who speak the same language as you. You need to surround yourself with people who fight and refuse to give up on their destiny. You need to surround yourself with people who testimonies give you reason to press on." - DS Mashego
You will become like those whom you are surrounded by. If you want great things, a positive attitude, to never give up, to succeed in school, to see the good in others, or whatever else, you need to surround yourself with those who do these things. It is a proven fact that attitudes and outlooks rub off on everyone around us. What kind of people are you surrounding yourself with? What kind of attitudes are being rubbed off on you?

Snow Canyon Invite: What a great start to the season for the Panthers! Taking advantage of the nice new track and (sometimes) good weather, we were able to get a lot of people to hit PRs (Personal Records), and even some Herriman and State Qualifiers. Some of our top finishers and outstanding performances: Alli started the Utah high school track season off with a bang running at NEW SCHOOL RECORD in the 1600 and a first place in a time of 5:00.51 (just over half a second from breaking 5:00... amazing!). Pyper also placed, finishing 8th with a huge PR in 5:30. In the boys 1600 Julien placed 6th. We also saw great races from Luke, Scottie, and Jason. Arden started her hs career with a strong run in the 100. And in the boys 100 Marcus (Fresh) and Sherm (Soph) went 1st and 3rd and Marcus grabbed his first SQ (State Qualifier). We saw some strong times from our girls in the 400 - Yrene, Jada, and Mady). Our girls 4x800 teams went 1st and 3rd. And our boys 4x800 team placed 2nd. We saw a 3rd place from our girls 4x200 team, and a 4th and 6th place finish from the boys in teh 4x200. In the girls 3200 Jessica finished 2nd and got a SQ and Rylee ran a strong 5th, just off the SQ. Another strong race in the 3200 was Kylee's thrilling heat win in a big PR. The boys scored strong in the 3200 with Julien and Cooper breaking 10:00 finishing 3rd and 4th and Scottie also picking up points in 7th. James hit the finals in both the 110h and 300h taking 6th in both. The boys 4x100 grabbed a 6th place finish. Some of our younger girls ran well in the 800, including PRs from Jenna, Brinley, and Kennis. In the boys race, Evan scored with a 7th place finish and Zach ran a strong race in his first hs track meet. The girls medley ran a very solid time and placed 2nd. In the boys 200, Marcus and Sherm once again ran a thrilling race. This time taking 1st and 2nd, respectively, and both getting a State Qualifying time! The girls 4x400 placed 4th. Brynlee made finals in the jav and placed 7th. Douglas also made finals in the guy's jav and placed 8th. A few of our rookie shot putters, Brennan, Peter, and Payton (on the guy's side), and Rebecca (on the girl's side) threw very well. Gina had a strong start to the season and placed 2nd in the Shot. Mady and Ellie both did well in their jumps (Long and High, respectively). Dallin had a strong meet and placed 5th in the High Jump and 3rd in the Long Jump. And finally, Nick picked up where he left off last year in the Disc and took 5th with a SQ of his own. Overall, these great performances led to very solid team performances for us. The ladies ended up 5th after holding a solid 2nd for most of the meet. And in a good invite with 16 scoring teams and all the teams from Region 9, the boys were a solid 2nd! Great meet everyone!
Thought of the Week: "The hardest thing to do is work when no one is looking." -Ray Lewis
This is character week! How badly do you really want to reach your goals? Often we have great visions of ourselves. But are we really willing to work for it when no one is there to watch over you or guide you through every step? This is an important time of the season to be hitting big workouts. So dig down deep and push yourself. Find a way to be committed. And ultimately, this will be a week that you can look back on and say that much of what you accomplished this season happened because of what you did right now.

Thought of the Week: "The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team." -Phil Jackson
Pretty good words by a pretty good coach. There was a reason Michael Jordan was arguably the greatest basketball player ever and why he won so many championships. Sure talent helped, and he was definitely a very hard worker. But what truly made him great was learning (from people like Phil Jackson) that every member of the team brought something that could help him be better - just as he could bring many things to make each of them better. Then together, that's when the true greatness happened.

And Celeste Fiame set the initial school record for Dixie State University in the javelin at her first outdoor meet with a throw of near 120 feet.
Thought of the Week: "Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can." -Arthur Ashe
Often our biggest fear of trying something new is that we aren't good enough. We'll tell you this - no one is good when they are just starting. It takes time, dedication, and commitment to become good at something. So as we start off a new season, we challenge each of you to grab a friend and challenge them to come get started at this track and field thing with you. And when they say, "Oh, I'm no good," remind them that all of us start somewhere and grow from there - even the very best!

Those who finished recently, come on out to practice (even if you need a few days to recover before you get started, come out to practice and meet the coaches and the team, let us know your plans, and get your registration done).
Important Announcements for the PV Invite... please read - we'll leave this up here for a couple weeks... The dance has been moved to the Saturday of the PV Invite. It is imperative that ALL athletes are at the meet Friday and Saturday to help at the meet (on other dance/meet days, we will try and work schedules out as best as possible, but this time you MUST be there). So please plan your day date (or tell your dance date) with this in mind. Saturday meet clean up usually finishes by 2:00p. I know this is a pain, but PLEASE plan on being available to help.
Parent Help - We will need a lot of parent help at the Invite (March 22nd-23rd). If you are willing to volunteer to work in the concessions, at the timing tent, or with the field event weigh-ins, please let Coach Holt know ASAP (pineviewtrack@gmail.com or reply to the Remind text)
Youngsters: Practice for our 6th-8th grade developmental camp will be held Monday and Thursday from 3:00-4:00 at PVHS. Get paperwork at practice. Youth meet (for grades K-8th) schedule has been updated.
PV Alumni Update: Congrats to two outstanding PV track and field alumni from last year. Carson Horspool (Weber State) competed in his first Big Sky Indoor Conference Championships in the 5000 and 3000. And Celeste Fiame set the initial school record for Dixie State University in the javelin at her first outdoor meet with a throw of near 120 feet.
Thought of the Week: "Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can." -Arthur Ashe
Often our biggest fear of trying something new is that we aren't good enough. We'll tell you this - no one is good when they are just starting. It takes time, dedication, and commitment to become good at something. So as we start off a new season, we challenge each of you to grab a friend and challenge them to come get started at this track and field thing with you. And when they say, "Oh, I'm no good," remind them that all of us start somewhere and grow from there - even the very best!

Week of Feb 18-23 / Practice Starts!
We are excited for another great season of Panther Track and Field! The official start to the season is Tuesday... out at the track after school. During our first week or two, our biggest goal will be to help each of you decide which events you want to focus on by introducing you to a variety of events. Our great coaching staff will start teaching you the basics and getting well on your way to a fun and successful season.
Registration: Everyone needs to do their registermyathlete in the next week (found at registermyathlete.com). If you have competed in a sport at PVHS this school year, this will be an easy few clicks of the button and you'll be done. If you haven't competed in a sport this year, you will also need to get your PHYSICAL. This needs to be done ASAP. And finally, everyone needs to get his/her PARTICIPATION FEE paid. This can be done at PVHS, through registermyathlete, or at myschoolfees.com (I think). All these steps must be complete by the end of next week.
Meet Schedule: Check out the 2019 schedule on the link to the right.
Schedule for the Week:
Monday - distance runners: long run, meet at the double churches at 8:00a
Tuesday - First day of practice; 3:00 at PVHS (distance runners have weights at 6:15a-6:45 - others on the team are invited to join us as well)
Wednesday - Friday - regular practice schedule

Thought of the Week: "The beginning is the most important part of the work." - Plato
Right... you gotta start somewhere. And if you haven't yet, the time is now. Something that is tough to see as a teacher and coach is young students/athletes who are too afraid to start something. We all want to be great; but often we are afraid that we won't be great at the beginning, so we never start. However, once we realize that the actual start is the most important part of the process to whatever level of greatness we may achieve, we can set those fears aside and get on with the journey. And that is what the beginning of a season is in so many ways - the opportunity to set aside fears and get on the path to becoming our best selves. So... lace 'em up and let's get going - together; as Panthers!

Weeks of Dec. 17 - Jan. 6
Things are starting to come together for another great Panther track season!
- Distance Runners - On December 17 the distance runners will begin winter training. Practice starts at 3:00p down at the track. The focus of these few days before the Christmas break is to get you moving again and committed to running daily during the break. It is very important that the distance runners show up to practice before the break and then run during the break. Your workouts have been uploaded on to your Final Surge accounts (workouts can also be found here on the blog). Use your Final Surge to keep track of your running over the break. Those who don't record your workouts (either because you didn't run or just don't update your Final Surge) will begin workouts back at Week 1 in January when we come back from the break.
- Sprints and Field events - Your workouts will begin when we get back from the break.
An info packet with winter track info, spring schedule, fundraiser info, etc. will be available to pic up in Coach Holt's room at the HS or in Coach Decker's room at the MS.
Over the break, we encourage everyone to use this HIIT workout twice a week to work on strength and fitness as we start working into the season.
Remind - remember to sign up for our text message reminders by texting @trackprs to 81010
Also follow us on Twitter and Insta at @pvxctreack
Everyone who is doing swim, bball or wrestling, keep having a great season... we will see you in Feb or early March.
Thought of the week(s): "Winter break is a great test for athletes. Your coach and teammates are no longer with you. You're on your own. Times like these are what separate the good and the GREAT."
-Tyler Pence
A great thought to get us going and moving into the break. In April and May everyone is going to want to travel to Varsity meets in Salt Lake, everyone is going to be trying to hit Herriman and State Qualifiers, everyone is going to want to run Varsity at Region. But its a pretty safe bet, that the thing that separates those who accomplish these goals from those who don't will be the habits and the skills developed over the next few weeks when it seems like their is no urgency and it doesn't matter if I get my run in and my other workouts done or not...

State Week and Region Recap
Well... we've finally made it to the end. It has been an amazing season and we look forward to great things from our State Qualifiers this week up at BYU. We'll have one more post next week to finalize our season, but for now let's recap Region.
Region 9 Championships - A huge thanks to all those athletes and parents who came out to help run the meet. It was a little hectic trying to host over at another school (and maybe a bit more disorganized than we would have normally been), but things went smoothly and it was a good Region meet. The girls team had their best meet of the season and really pulled together to place a strong third. The boys team started very strong, but then missed a few opportunities with injuries and missing finals and slipped down to fifth in a very tightly packed finish from 2nd to 5th. Nonetheless, it was a solid Region finish to a very good season. Here's a list of all our top 8 finishers from Region: In the girls 3200 - Jessica 3rd, Rylee 6th, Ellie 7th; Boys 3200 - Nathan 5th, Scottie 6th, Mikey 8th; Girls 800 - Alli Region Champion!, Jacey 3rd and a State Qualifier, Caroline 8th; Boys 800 - Logan 3rd and a State Qualifier; Evan 5th; Girls Medley 6th; Boys Medley 7th; Girls 1600 - Jessica 6th, Jada 7th; Boys 1600 - Alex 2nd and a State Qualifier; Boys 110h - Jake 4th, James 7th; Boys 100 - Samson 7th; Boys 4x100 5th; Girls 400 - Alli 4th; Boys 400 - Samson 3rd, Macen 7th; Boys 300h - Jake 2nd, James 7th; Boys 200 - Samson 6th; Girls 4x400 4th and a State Qualifier; Boys 4x400 6th; Girls Long Jump -Teulia 5th; Girls Shot - Gina 6th; Girls Jav - Celeste 1st, Brynlee 6th, Demri 8th; Boys High Jump - Jakobe 8th; Boys Long Jump - Colin 3rd and a State Qualifier; Boys Shot - Raymond 7th; Boys Jav - Dylan 5th; and Girls High Jump - Claire 5th.
This Week's Schedule:
Monday - regular practice schedule. Those participating at State, alternates, and just anyone who wants to still work out with the team, just meet out at the track at 3:00 (no team meeting). Also, all 8th-11th graders: physicals for next year at the HS starting at 5:30. Pay at the HS Finance Office and bring pre-physical and consent for filled out and signed by parent!
Tuesday - regular practice schedule.
Wednesday - Bus will leave the HS after lunch for State - an itinerary will be sent home to those traveling with the team.
Thursday and Friday - Utah 4A State Championships at BYU. Schedule.
XC Runners - Please get physical and registermyathlete done for next season now! Also please get a captain recommendation form from Coach Roberts and have it filled out and returned by Wednesday morning!
Thought of the Week: "The reward for work well done is the opportunity to do more." - Jonas Salk. This quote makes us think of our track season in many ways: 1) those who have the opportunity to compete at State this week - you have done amazing things this year; let's go do a bit more! 2) everyone who has completed this season with our team - hopefully you have done everything within your power to have improved yourself as much as possible, and because of this, you have opened more doors for yourself and others around you to continue to do great things in all aspects of your life.
And as we get toward the end, just a cheesy sentimental thought from some old people to you young people... Thanks for all you have done. You truly are an inspiration to us and all those around you. I for one, leave each season very confident that this world is going to be a good place because I get to see our future leaders developing strengths and passions that are going push us all in the right direction. So remember... stand up for that which is right; be kind to everyone around you; and true joy comes not from material things, rather from the moments that you get to share with those whom you love. Our Seniors... please keep in contact with us and go do great things!
Oh... and Happy Mother's Day out there to all you awesome Moms who love and support your kids so much.
