Race Report:

Timpanogos Invite - This was one of our best team efforts at Timpanogos, and we learned some very important things to work on as well. In the girls race, Emmalee placed 13th (our 2nd highest finish ever at this meet), she was followed by Vanessa, Elin, Tevye, Katie, Andi, and Jordyn to take 11th overall. In the boys race, Bridger was out strong before a bit of a back problem drop him back to 24th. He was followed by Trevor, Benji, Elliot, Jake, Liam, and Carter in placing 9th. Results / PV 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 will be meeting 2 times a week on Monday (not this week because of Labor Day) and Wednesday at 3:00p at PVHS. Our next Youngsters race will be on 9/3 at 5:30p before the HS races at the Dixie All-Comers at Bloomington Hills North Park.

Alumni Update: Brooklyn (Utah State), Jessica (Weber State), and Trey (Utah Valley) all had their first races of the season this last weekend. Brook took 15th at the Utah State Alumni Challenge with an 18:53 5K. At the UVU Invite, Trey placed 13th overall and 6th for the Wolverines in his first collegiate race with a time of 14:40 for 3 miles, and Jess placed 6th for Weber and 36th overall with a time of 17:59. 

PVXC Thought of the Week: "Trust your training. Want to perform? That's it. Do the work. Have confidence. Get out of your own way."

-Steve Magness

Now is not the time for overthinking and analysis. Now is the time to let all the hard work you have been doing go show itself. Often we stress about things we can't control. But one thing you have controlled is your training. So as you approach your next race, think about this... Do I want to perform well? Yes! Then trust all the work you have (and will continue to) put in. And stop stressing. Get in the Boat!
