State! State! State! Congrats on qualifying for State Panthers. Every single one of you has played a role in this - whether it's from running at Divisionals, cheering the Varsity on, pushing the Varsity in workouts, or being a part of this program. So to reward everyone, we are taking the full team up to State. We need to know on Monday who is wanting to go, because we will make our Hype Squads and get everything lined out at our team meeting.
We have spots for about 4-5 more of our team to join us to Nike. Talk to Coach if you are interested. We also need to get 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 -
Divisionals: Our goal - qualify for State. We did it. Both groups were working on some packing to help us be stronger going into State. The girls took 4th in their race. The boys won their race.
Results.
News.
Alumni Report - Trey raced for UVU out to Princeton. He said he was happy with his effort.
PVXC Thought of the Week: "Miles didn't hear it as a mistake. He heard it as something that happened - just an event - part of the reality of what was happening at the moment, and he dealt with it."
-Herbie Hancock (quoted by Steve Magness)
In this post, Magness is talking about how Herbie Hancock, the pianist for famed jazz musician Miles Davis, told a story of a time he (Hancock) hit a wrong note in the middle of a song. The big take-away from this for Hancock, and hopefully for us, is that Davis didn't freak out, demand to stop and start again, or even get mad at Hancock. Rather, he went with the flow. The mistake had happened and now what was important was how he helped all the musicians move through it and keep the smooth jazz rolling! Remember, we are going to have mistakes in our races and workouts. How are we going to handle them? Are we going to freak out? Shut down? Want to retreat and quit? Or are we going to work through it as just 'something that happened' and keep the smooth jazz rolling as we push with our teammates and competitors to produce some beautiful running?!
