Week 1 - XC is Starting!

It's already and finally here!  XC season is starting up next week.  Before we go over our Week 1 info, here are some other important announcements:

  • Physicals - Must be done ASAP!  Get your paperwork at PVHS or at the USHAA website, then get the physical turned in to the office at PVHS. Remember, everyone needs a new physical every year.
  • Register My Athlete is where we now do our paperwork.  Go online and get it done.  Those who are returning need to update your info and register for the 2017-18 season.
  • Payments - The school can't accept any payment for participation fee ($85) or this summer's high altitude camp ($85?) yet (not until July?).  But you may want to start saving up your money for these things as well as your uniform and spirit pack.
  • 2017 XC Schedule is posted - please make sure to check back and make sure you know of any changes... they happen often in XC.
  • We will be posting things on the remind app - the PVXC code is @a24b37 - please get signed up to stay up to date on all things PVXC.
  • And of course, follow us on Twitter and Instagram @pvxctrack
  • We (the coaches and captains) would really like to have all our athletes posting workouts online - this gives us all (coaches and athletes) feedback on how workouts, our health, races, team chemistry, and more, are all going.  You can do this at a variety of sites, but a couple we use are the fastrunningblog or our team Week Reports.  This is also a good way to track your total minutes, since we do this every week and post the info here at the end of the week.
Remember, be to practice everyday that you are in town (and when you are out of town, try and get your run in as best as possible)... it will make all the difference when we start racing.

Week 1:
Monday - Summer practice starts.  7:00a at Washington Elementary.  You can follow the practice schedule here.  We'll get a little run in; probably have a few XC traditions; and get to know each other a bit!

Tuesday - After practice, we have Summer Running Club.  This goes from 8:30-9:45a.  We need everyone's help.  Please plan on staying around on Tuesdays.

Wednesday-Thursday - Regular practice at 7:00a.

Friday - Practice at 7:00a at Sullivan Park.

Saturday - Run on your own or organize a group run.

I am the volunteer coordinator for the Top of Zion Relay, we are looking for some help~ June 23rd-24, 2017
I was wondering if some of the members of Pine View's XC team want to run the Top of Zion National Park Relay for FREE??? We will trade them a FREE TEAM for some volunteer Exchange Captains and/or Finish Line help!! And we only ask for a small amount of help compared to the value of the team! In monetary terms, a 6 runner team ($600 value) trades for around $300 in what we would pay an Exchange Captain. And a 12 runner team ($1200 value) trades for around $600 in what we would pay an Exchange Captains. Different positions are worth more than others. Based on the value of each station (including the value that you bring to the exchange) a trade would consist of filling several stations. See website for course details. Its seriously the most beautiful course you will ever run! All agreements must be finalized before free team is given. Topofzion.com. If this is something your students might be interested in I would love to arrange a time to talk more!
