PV hasn't travelled to the Larry Burgess Las Vegas Invite in a few years. But earlier this summer, our schedule opened up this weekend and with the new course held at the Site of the Nevada state championships, this looked like a good opportunity for our team to run against new competition. The day started with our top three Youngsters taking the top 3 places in the race - Rylee Holt, Sylvia Brown and Addi Baker. Then the 9/10 girls ran a very strong race led by Carli Kimzey 2nd and Brianna Loya in 7th. The 9/10 boys got our first win of the day with a 1/2 sweep by Dallen Gillespie and Alex Hill. Mitch Price took 4th, Macen Walker took 11th and Anwar Schone rounded out our scoring at 16th.
As the day warmed up the varsity races got under way. The girls ran very well and took 2nd to a strong Palo Verdes team from Vegas. Josie Bushar was our top finisher, just over 30 seconds behind a nationally ranked 10:30 3200 runner from Centennial. The boys - led by Cam Brown who finished 6th - used depth to take the team title by a score of 52 to 80 over Centennial.
The day was very warm by the time the JV/Open races came around. We didn't have enough girls to score our JV team (same with our 9/10 girls), but they ran strong led by Annelise Burr and Macey Widdison. The JV boys finished off the perfect sweep for the Panther boys in nearly perfect fashion - just missing a perfect score by 1 point. Andrew Nielsen had probably the best race of the day for the PV harriers running a 17:28 and winning by over 30 seconds in temps well over 90 degrees. This team win earned the boys the Grand Champion Trophy for top team at the meet.
