Aug. 5-10 (Week 10)

It has been a great summer and a fun summer. And this should be a fun week, too, with the opportunity for a couple relay races and our final week of summer practice. Make sure you check out the schedule for the week as practice locations/times are changing and also the Upcoming Events section as we've changed the time of the Desert Relays tomorrow and added our fundraiser car wash to the schedule.

Thanks to everyone who got their RegisterMyAthlete started/finished up. Please go check out where you are at with it and get it done. You're RMA will need to say "Ready for Tryouts" or "Complete" by Aug. 5 to be at practice.

Purpose of the Week's Workouts: Click here for a link to this week's workouts (you have to request access on your school account to see the workouts). We'll be moving into our SWEP - Speed/Strength With Endurance Process - phase now for those who have been with us throughout the summer (those who are new will be building their foundation a bit with few minutes/workouts). In SWEP we focus on sustaining our base while adding in more race pace work.

Race Report:

PV Time Trial - Pretty impressive stuff! It was great to see so many of you pushing yourself and letting all your hard work over the summer show. Many individual and team records were broken, and almost everyone who ran it in the past set a new PR (personal record) for the course. 2024 Results / Records

Youngsters (our 6th-8th grade club):

We want to invite all interested 6th-8th graders to join the most successful and fun running club in Southern Utah. We run our club as a youth camp for XC and usually meet 2 times a week. Days and times TBA. All of our Youngsters are invited to join us at our time trial, the Desert Relays, and the HOKA Mile Relays. The Cedar All-Comers will also have a youth race before the HS races. MORE INFO COMING SOON!

PVXC Thought of the Week: "Cross Country is a great metaphor for life. From the outside, it looks like an individual sport. A bunch of people running their own race. But in reality, it's a team sport. The sooner we embrace the team aspect, the better we perform, and the more joy and connection we create."

-Steve Magness

"To Live and Run Greatly" that is our PVXC motto. We do better in life with people supporting us and we do better in our running with people supporting us. And other do better in each aspect when we support them. We had a great final book discussion about unity and being together in all things. Let's keep reaching out to each other and building this team and strengthening each other. Get in the Boat!
