UHSAA Utah 3A State Championships
With conditions about as good as they ever have been for the State meet, the Panthers toed the line looking good in our new State Uniforms.
The girls got the gun first. As we have done throughout the year, our pack was very strong and carried us to an 8th place finish - just four points from 6th and 18 points from 5th. Leading the team was Freshman Alli Peterson placing 32nd with a time of 20:50.7. Following Alli wth a spread of just 53 seconds was Josie Bushar in 42, Nicole Heinrich in 47th, Taylor Boyer in 48th and Liz Lunt in 55th. It was great to see Liz back running after her surgery last week. And it was nice to send off our Seniors with a solid race. Thanks to Mia, Ali, Liz, and Taylor for your years of dedication and leadership for our team.
After watching some amazing performances from the 4A and 5A girls, our boys began their race. Byron Warby ran a very gutsy race and truly epitomized our team theme of Dare to Go as he ran with the leaders (and as the leader) throughout the 3 mile race. He finished a very strong 2nd to Carbon's Garrett Marsing, well ahead of the chase pack. Our Seniors rounded out our scoring with Taylor Abel 14, Colton Bowler running a strong 16th, Matt Young 22nd, and Kyler Prisbrey 25th. And although it was difficult to have 2nd place slip past us, the team ran well and represented us very well.
Below is our scoring for the boys and the girls:

Region 9 Championships
The Region 9 Championships were held at the South Course - Bloomington Hills North park - on a perfect day for racing.
The day started with our Youngsters racing very well. The boys took 2nd in Region with Alex Hill taking 7th, Logan Hall 11th, Wesley Pugmire 13th, Alex Klein 14th, and Scottie Bushar 15th. The girls won the Region title led by Cristina Gaona in 5th, Rylee Holt in 6th, Addi Baker 7th, Jacey Finch 10th, and Karissa Gillespie 11th. Many of the Youngsters ran their course PR's today and have really shown a lot of improvement this season.
In the JV races, PV also did very well. The JV boys won the Region title despite having "off races" for a few of the runners - really showing the depth of our program. Reed Burr took control of the race early and dominated it throughout. His time of 17:11 would have placed him near the top 20 in the Varsity race and easily led him to another JV Individual Region Title for the Panthers (at least our 6th straight). Jake Taylor, Cameron Brown, and Andrew Nielsen also placed in the top 10 for PVXC. Some strong front running led our JV girls to a strong finish as well. Taylor Boyer placed 2nd overall and Kaelie Gillespie was 5th.
In the Varsity races, our girls team was facing some adversity. The team had lost Liz Lunt to an emergency appendectomy on Sunday and Megan Finch was stepping in for her first race/running in over 1 1/2 months. The team responded very well however and took 3rd place overall - just 3 points behind Canyon View for 2nd. Leading the team was Freshman Alli Peterson with a 12th place finish and her best race of the year. Nicole Heinrich ran a very strong race finishing in the top 15. Josie Bushar, Ali Johanson, and Mia Hart rounded out our scoring placing 20, 21, and 23 respectively. It was a great team performance, and we are all so proud of the girls.
The boys race saw DH run a very strong race and dominate for the Region title, and our PV boys distance themselves easily from the rest of the region for a strong 2nd place showing. Byron Warby raced hard to the line to finish 2nd overall and Taylor Abel placed 6th. Colton Bowler ran a strong race finishing 11th. Other Panther scorers were Nick Hill at 14th and Matt Young at 17th.
This was a great Region Championships for our program. It showed how our team has grown and that were are very strong as a team at all levels of XC competition - and set some high standards for us to reach toward in the coming season!
Now let's focus on State and good luck to the Varsity Boys and Girls who will be running there!

Now let's focus on State and good luck to the Varsity Boys and Girls who will be running there!
Snow Canyon Invite
Snow Canyon is our final tune-up before Region for our JV and Youngster runners. Against every Region team's Varsity except DH, the JV boys took 2nd overall. Reed Burr helped the cause with his 5th place finish. The girls were working on their pack running and as Mia and Liz held back to push the other Varsity runners, we saw some of our top times of the season recorded. Running particularly well was Josie Bushar who finished up a tight pack of PV 5 with a spread of 18 seconds. Cristina Gaona placed 3rd in the Youngsters girls race and Alex Hill had a top 10 finish for the boys.
Cedar Invite
The Cedar Invite was a good tune-up for our championship season that is about to begin. And it gave each athlete an opportunity to compare times from a course we ran at the very beginning of the season. In doing so, many PVXC'ers found their miles of hard work is paying off as they set course records for themselves. The Varsity boys took 2nd in the meet, led by Taylor Abel and Byron Warby taking 2nd and 3rd. Mia Hart led the girls, but the 4th place team finish was really the work of teamwork and a tight pack of 5 more Panthers finishing from 31st to 38th. The JV boys had a dominate showing placing 7 in the top ten - with Reed Burr finishing 2nd overall and Preston Warby 3rd (and that was with our top two JV guys running in the 8/9th Varsity spots). Chancie Johnson was our top JV girls finisher in 13th place. Our Youngsters once again showed the depth of our program as the girls took 1st and the boys took 2nd at the meet.
Nebo Invite
Our team overnight trip to Maple Mountain HS and the Nebo Invite met us with cold and snow on the mountains. In the Frosh/Soph race, the boys took a very strong 3rd - despite having 3 of our top Sophomores running Varsity. Andrew Nielsen paced the team with a top 10 finish. Our 9/10th girls didn't not have a scoring team, but all ran well. In the JV race, the boys again placed well, finishing 5th and beating many top 4A and 5A schools. In the girls race, Meskerem Stucki pulled in a strong top 10 finish after leading parts of the race. The Varsity boys took 9th of 25 teams led by Byron Warby and Taylor Abel in a tight pack at 24th and 25th place. Liz Lunt led the girls to a 17th place finish in the Varsity girls race.
Duel in the Desert
We had a very strong showing by our JV runners at the Duel in the Desert against DH at the Bloomington Hills North Park Course. Meskerem Stucki led our girls to the duel win as she won the race and paced a 4 of the top 5 showing for the Lady Panthers. Our boys scored a perfect score with 8 of the top 9 spots, led by quickly improving Sophomore Jake Taylor. And although we were the only Youngsters team there, both the boys and girls ran very well and got valuable racing experience on the Region South Course.
Bob Firman
The Varsity boys took the long trip to Boise, Idaho, for the prestigious Bob Firman Invite held at Eagle Island State Park. The boys had a great trip and enjoyed the high level of competition. Taylor Abel led the team to a 14th place finish in the Elite Race with his 40th place finish. The level of competition at this meet was amazing - something that we won't see again until Nike Regionals - and it gave our boys a great example of what it means to be Regionally and Nationally Elite as a team and individually.
Time Trial #3
Taylor Abel led the team in their 3rd Time Trial of the season to one of the top team times in our history. Taylor's 10:26 paced three boys under 11:00 with a fourth at 11:00. The girls, led by Mia Hart, had a tight spread of just 50 seconds through their top 5. In the Youngsters, Collin Tudor ran one of the fastest middle school times ever with a 6:11; and Addi Baker and Rylee Holt both broke the 7:00 minute barrier.
Herriman Invite
So I got a little behind on the updates... just a touch!
Herriman Invite -
The Varsity teams traveled up to Salt Lake for the Herriman Invite. We started the day in Orem watching Kaylee Boyer and Rachel Stone race for SUU - they both ran great and it was a lot of fun to support our XC'ers. After running the State course in what turned from a light drizzle to a heavy rain, we ate lunch and made it over to Herriman only to find that the meet schedule had been altered because of the weather. The girls had missed their race and the boys were starting in about 20 minutes. Despite the craziness, both teams ran well. the Varsity boys took 6th place with Taylor Abel leading the team with a 13th place finish. Colton Bowler ran in the JV race and ran to a top 10 finish. The Varsity girls were reassigned to the JV race and ran very well there at the top of the pack. Mia Hart won the race with Megan Finch taking 3rd. Josie Bushar also ran very well and placed in the top 10. The team placed 3rd, just 9 points off 1st.
