State MVP and All-State
Congrats to Trevor Thompson for being named State MVP and Corey Kimzey and Tyson Boyer for being named to the All-State team!
Nike SW Regionals
The boys team came into NSW with big hope and expectations. However, we knew it would be very difficult to reach our goal of a trip to the national championships. The race was held at the Toka Sticks Golf Course in Mesa, Az. It was a nice layout that looked to be very fast. Leading the PVXC Club was Tyson Boyer in 43 (27th scoring) in a time of 16:03, followed closely by Trevor Thompson in 16:04 (45/29). The best race of the day was put in by Ryan Nielsen who ran a strong 16:06 (50/32). Rounding out our scoring was Corey Kimzey in 16:23 (81/55) and Devin Gillespie in 16:30 (103/69). Finishing out our 7 were Michael Finch in 17:47 and Casey Kimzey in 18:20. Although the race was a bit of a disappointment, we did place 5th with a 212 behind 4 nationally ranked programs: AF-44, Ft. Collins-88, Davis-93, and Albuquerque-172. It was a great season and I am very proud of all we accomplished!

October Athletes of the Month
Rachel Heinrich and Devin Gillespie were our Athletes of the Month for October. Both Juniors, Rachel and Devin have played a crucial role on our teams for the last three years.
Rachel was one of our team captains this year and provided a certain spark and fire for our team. Her race at Region was huge and would have placed us a point up had no other runners caught someone on the final straight.
Devin's best performance this year came at State where he took 14th place (13th scoring) and set himself up as the 3rd returner in our new 3A classification for next year.
Great job Rachel and Devo - looking forward to another year of great running from you guys.

Boys State Results
STATE CHAMPIONS!
Congratulations on an amazing finish to our state season. The boys came into the State Championships as the favorite, but according to some by only a narrow margin. The Panthers left with no doubt who the best team in the state is beating Mt. View 38 to 74! The 1:21:18 cumulative time is a Panther record (for the 3rd straight year) breaking the old record by over 2 minutes - it is also the 10th fastest time ever in Utah and the 3rd fastest 4A time of all time!
Although the race started off slow, the PV harriers stuck right to the game plan and established a strong position early but waited until 2500 meters to make their move. In doing so, Trevor Thompson put 20 seconds on the chase pack. Coming around the pond the final time, Trevor had a very large lead - but just big enough to hold off the rest of the pack when the effects of his head cold and the heat really hit him the last 500 meters. No matter how it was done, Trevor was State Champ in 15:56! Tyson Boyer pulled out a killer kick and finished 2nd in 16:00, and Corey Kimzey became our 3rd All-Stater with his 8th place finish in 16:14. The race was truly won, however, by the performances of 4th and 5th men Devin Gillespie (14th 16:31) and Ryan Nielsen (15th 16:34) who gutted out great races after being buried at the start to finish just behind Mt. View's top 3. Rounding out the Panther runners was Michael Finch in 71st with a 17:37 and Dyllen Cafferty in 84th at 17:49. Congratulations guys - that is years and years of had work paying off!

Girls State Results
The Pine View Girls finished the season in fine fashion with a Top 10 finish at this year's 4A State Championships! Leading the Varsity 7 was Kaylee Boyer who finished in a new school record of 19:17.0! Kaylee ran a solid race and was right near the individual Top 10 throughout the entire race. Also breaking into the Panther All-Time Top 20 were Rachel Stone who place 33rd with a 20:21.3 and Jessica Peterson finishing just behind Rachel in 34th with a 20:21.7. Finishing the scoring for PV were Rachel Heinrich (101 22:34) and Liz Harrison (104 22:38). Senior Captain Sierra Worlton finished just behind Liz in 106th with a 22:39. And rounding out the Varsity 7 was Megan Frodsham with a 23:12 and 118th place finish.
The cumulative time of the ladies was 1:45:12 - our 3rd fastest finish ever at State! Overall a great way to end a great season!

State Preview
Here is Deseret News' State Preview - not a lot of info., but we are used to that in newspapers. Speaking of... latest Nike SW update is out (check out their comment about our newspaper coverage!) The biggest way to change this is to email/call The Spectrum and ask for more coverage - so parents, family, friends get out there and do it.

BLACKOUT - Region Championships
After a lot of moving and debating, the Region 9 Championships(4A) were moved to Monday Oct. 11. This didn't seem to bother the Panthers as the Blackout was in full effect!
JV Girls got the team off to a fantastic start. Although the day was hot (90 degrees), the ladies pushed through and took 5 of the top 6 - and 8 of the top 9 - scoring a near perfect 16 to easily win the meet. Leading the pack was Madi Hansen with a 21:50. 2nd was Mia Hart in 22:02; 3rd MaKayla Baxter in 22:17; 4th was Kylee Becker in 23:52; and rounding out the scoring was Maree Wade who finished 6th in 24:04. Other top 10 finishers wwere Taylor Boyer (7th) and Chancie Johnson (8th).
The JV Boys ran well taking a clean sweep of the points and scoring a perfect 15 - in fact, the boys went 16 of the top 19 spots! Taking first was Michael Finch (16:46) who looks to be rounding back into form after his mid-season injury. Jared Ellsworth was 2nd in 16:58 (congrats on breaking 17!); 3rd was Timmy Lunt (17:22); 4th Morgan Wood (17:29); 5th Austin Manuele (17:51); and 6th was Wesley Plumb (18:06). Also finishing in the top 10 were Reed Burr (8th) - top Freshman in the Region! - and Robert Lusk (9th).
The race of the day was the Varsity Girls. Through two miles the race was all square between PV and SC, but valiant finishes by Jessica Peterson and Rachel Heinrich proved the 3 point difference as PV prevailed 27-30. Leading the race in dominating fashion was Kaylee Boyer who set a new course record (beating former PV standout Ruth Hilton by 2 seconds) in 18:20. JP finished 3rd outkicking a SC runner for a time of 19:57. 5th was Rachel Stone in 20:22. 8th was Rachel Heinrich in 20:50. And our final scorer was our Senior Captain Sierra Worlton who finished 10th in 21:08. Had it come down to a tie we would have still prevailed as Liz Harrison and Megan Frodsham both placed higher than the 6th SC runner finishing 12th and 13th in 21:24 and 21:27 respectively. This was one of the most exciting and gut-wrenching races I have witnessed. Both teams ran great and we are just so proud of the Pine View girls for earning their first region title since 2001!
The final race of the day - Varsity Boys - held little drama as our nationally ranked Panthers scored another perfect score victory (but not without some great efforts by two Dixie and one SC runners). Trevor Thompson just missed breaking the 15:00 mark recoding a 15:01 (but still breaking Snow Canyon great Hayden Hawk's record by 13 seconds). Corey Kimzey placed 2nd in 15:34, followed by Tyson Boyer in 15:44, Ryan Nielsen in 15:54, and Devin Gillespie in 16:04. This resulted in our 2nd best spread of the season - and on a day when Trevor truly had one of his best races of the year. Dyllen Cafferty made it into the top 10 finishing 9th in 16:50, followed by Casey Kimzey in 14th at 17:23.
What a great way to bring the Region season to a close. Everyone ran so well - and you all deserved it after working so hard all season.
Next stop... STATE!
