SUU Invite


Panther harriers came out in force for the SUU Invite on August 27th. 3 out of the 4 team titles were won by PV!
The JV girls started the day very well taking the top 4 spots and winning 26 to 61 over 2nd (Cedar) led by Nicole Heinrich (1st - 21:35), MaKayla Baxter (2nd - 21:38), Taylor Boyer (3rd - 22:08), and Kelsi Vaka (4th - 22:10).
The JV boys place 2nd... barely (32-34 to Desert Hills). JV boys champ was Colton Bowler in 16:57 (would have place him 11th in the Varsity race!) and 4 Panthers placed in the top 10.
The Varsity girls just missed (by less than 1.5 seconds) the course record set by the 2009 Mt. View team that place 40th in the nation and 3rd at Nike SW. 3 Lady Panthers placed in the top 5 and 4 in the top 10 - Kaylee Boyer (3rd - 18:41), Rachel Stone (4th - 19:05), Jessica Peterson (5th -19:13), and Frida Nilsson (10th - 20:31) - and won 38-69 over 2nd (Cedar).
The Varsity boys finished the day with some strong pack running to win 33-50 over 2nd (Desert Hills). Michael Finch placed 2nd in 16:27, Devin Gillespie 3rd (16:32), Jared Ellsworth 6th (16:44), and Timmy Lunt ran a great 7th in 16:49.
