Great job at Region Panthers! That was the culmination of a lot of hard work, dedication, and commitment to your team. Remember, we invite everyone to keep coming out and running with the team. Go back to last week's blog for a little rundown of post-season stuff and Nike info below.
**This MUST be taken care of by Sunday night** We are getting our trip to Nike Southwest set... the bus, hotels, and registration are the big costs. The total is going to be around $200 (but don't pay that all until the cost is set). But we do need a downpayment from everyone who is planning on going to be paid. We will be paying this through our club account - NOT THE HS -, so please pay $100 to Coach Holt by Sunday through Venmo @Dave-Holt77. We had 40 who said they would like to go to NXR. If we can get the bus to 45 that will help keep our cost down a little more, so if you weren't sure (or changed your mind), there is still space for you.
*Also, we need to start registration for JV State. The meet will be held on Nov. 1, at the Spanish Fork Sports Park. Remember, that athletes/families must arrange their own transportation/accommodations for this meet. We will register you for the meet when you pay $8 to the PVXC Club (use Coach's Venmo above and label - JV State "athlete name"). We'd love to have a big representation from the deepest and best JV team in the state, but we also understand that it might be difficult to arrange to get there... if you can and want to run, that would be awesome.

Race Report -
Region 9 Championships: One of PV's best Region Championship performances in history! Congrats to our 4 individual champions: Laura in the JV Girls, Benji for the JV Boys, Emmalee in the Varsity Girls, and Trevor with the Varsity Boys. It's the first time in recent memory that one team swept the individual titles. Although it was a difficult full 5K course, we got out there and pushed and ran with confidence. The JV Girls took 4th. JV Boys went full sweep mode with a perfect score of 15 and taking the top 9 spots in the meet. The Varsity Girls ran our best team race since Cedar All-Comers and took 2nd - a result we are very proud of. And the Varsity Boys put on a clinic with a huge win, scoring just 21 points, and taking 6 medalists and all 7 guys in the top 12. We are so excited to see the continued growth of our program and each of you individually.
Results.

Alumni Report - Jessica raced her final XC meet for Weber up at the Steve Reeder Memorial held by Utah State. She says she's looking forward to using the winter to get ready for her final track season.
PVXC Thought of the Week: "No one relates to a story that's only about winning." "Running has taught me that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is keep showing up." "Doubts and fears will always come up. The goal isn't to erase them - it's to move with them." "Healing doesn't mean the struggle disappears. It means you learn to face it differently." "The only way to truly perform your best is to free yourself from the weight of your own mind." "Thriving means being art of something bigger than yourself."

Since we won't have a full team meeting Monday (hey there's no school!), I'd like you to pick your favorite quote from above and be ready to share with some teammates why it stood out to you and what you can learn from it. We will share these thoughts on Monday morning, so be ready! And maybe while you're at it, go learn who Emily is and her story a little. Then root for her to crush it at Chicago - and of course, my main man Conner Mantz, too!
