Hooray, car wash done! Thanks for all of everyone's help. For only having one week to pull it all together, it went very well. We want to thank First Stop Car Wash for all of their help (and Nathan for being the hero of the day!). Please bring all your unsold tickets and your car wash money to the team meeting Monday. As we start to get things ready for our club trip to Phoenix in November, remember that the first payment of $100 will secure your spot on the bus. This money is due ASAP (if you have more than $100 from the car wash, then bring it all in). The final payment will be due near the beginning of October when a final cost is worked out (w/ the bus, hotels, registration, etc.).
We also had the opportunity to get on the new Region course over at Sand Hollow Golf Course on Wednesday for the Hurricane Invite. The location was beautiful for the quick winding course. Our JV girls ran very well and ended up winning the meet with Pyper Holt (3rd), Jada Chepkwurui (4th), Alli Brown (6th), and Macey Hayes (8th) all finishing in the top 10. The JV boys took 3rd with Cooper Despain (5th) and Josh Miraglia (6th) finishing in the top 10. Rylee Holt (2nd), Sylvia Brown (3rd), Alli Baker (5th), and Sarah Snow (7th) led the Varsity girls to the team title. The Varsity boys took 3rd with Spencer Bell (8th), Scottie Bushar (9th), and Mikey Abegglen (10th) leading the way.
This week, we will be a split squad heading to two different races. The JV runners will be racing at the Nebo Invite held at Maple Mountain HS on Friday. The race schedule is below:
Frosh/Soph Girls Race Start Time: 3:30pm
Frosh/Soph Boys Race Start Time: 4:05pm
JV Girls Race Start Time: 4:30pm
JV Boys Race Start Time: 5:05pm
Varsity Girls Race Start Time: 5:35pm
Varsity Boys Race Start Time: 6:05pm
The bus will be leaving Friday morning (HS - 9:00, MS - 9:15) and returning back to PVHS Friday evening. Athletes will be responsible for two meals (lunch and dinner), and will need to bring warm clothes - it looks to be chilly and rainy. We will announce who is running in which race Monday.
The Varsity runners will be racing at the prestigious Bob Firman Invitational in Boise on Saturday. We will be leaving on Thursday after lunch, traveling to Salt Lake (practicing on the State course), and then traveling to Boise on Friday to return home late Saturday night after the races. The race schedule follows:
10:30 DI Varsity Boys (Sect 1) 5000m
10:55 DI Varsity Boys (Sect 2) 5000m

12:50 DI Varsity Girls 5000m
1:25 DI Varsity Girls (Sect 2) 5000m
We may be in the Elite or DI Varsity Division. An itinerary will be sent home.
To attend either of these meets, athletes must be attending practice, have their grade check done, and minutes updated by Tuesday.
Grade Check: Each athlete must turn in a current print out of his/her grades by Wednesday morning (before school starts) to Coach Roberts. Our grade expectations were outlined in practice. Those who are below our team expectations will need to take time off of practice until the grades are improved - meaning no racing.
Week 15 Minutes: Please enter your Week 15 Minutes (the week that just ended) here. This must be done by Tuesday evening to be eligible to race.
Homecoming Week: There are a lot of events associated with Homecoming Week going on this week. Get out and have some fun, but also remember our team and individual goals and put yourself in a position to be successful with them. Wednesday evening is the parade. Our team will be marching in the parade (uniform race top) and passing out shirts; please plan on joining us.
Youngsters: Regular practice schedule - Monday and Thursday afternoon. There is a race Wednesday (20th) up at Enterprise if anyone would like to attend. More info at practice Monday.
