So on this section I have been a bit of a slacker this year, so here is a little run-down of former PVXC'ers running in college:
Trevor Thompson ('11) is a Freshman at SUU and ran a few meets this season unattached as he is officially redshirting for the season.
Corey Kimzey ('11) ran very well in his Freshman year at Utah State. Through most of the year he was on the traveling squad and placing 8th or 9th on the team (and 2nd Freshman).
Ryan Neilson ('11) ran at Dixie State this past season for his Freshman campaign and was generally 2-3 on the team.
Also joining Ryan at Dixie was Cassidy Ferris ('09) competing in what she says will be her final year for the team.
And finally, Ruth Hilton ('07) is finishing up her Senior year at Utah State where she has dealt with persistent injuries this year to generally be the top lady Aggie. This past weekend she placed 9th overall at the WAC Championships to lead USU to a 3rd place finish.

State 2011
What an up and down day - emotions were running all over the place.
The day started with the girls running extremely well. They executed the race plan perfectly and moved up each of their positions throughout the race. Kaylee Boyer moved into third at about 2K and held that place finishing in a new school record time of 18:53.8 (breaking her own record set last year of 19:17). Rachel Stone ran excellent placing 6th in 19:16.0. She was followed closely by Jessica Peterson who placed 8th (7th scoring) in 19:26.9. Frida Nilsson (20:08.3) and Mia Hart (20:31.7) finished off our team scoring in the 20th and 25th positions. Rachel and Nicole Heinrich also ran strong in the 6th and 7th positions for the team running 21:14 and 21:37 respectively. The team scoring was very tight, and when we saw we had placed 2nd we were all very excited - we had beaten the 13th ranked team in the nation (Ogden) and placed just 5 points off of Park City. An amazing effort by the ladies... Their combined time broke the old PVXC All-Time State mark by over 6 minutes!
The boys also ran strong, but their day was more of a disappointment. However, it must be noted that the boys ran the 3rd fastest time in PVXC history (just seconds behind the 2009 mark for 2nd) and that 3rd in State ain't too shabby! (Ogden 73, Park City 80, PV 82.) Tyson Boyer capped off his Senior year with his amazing comeback from major ankle trauma (dislocation and severe sprain in late August) with a 3rd place finish (16:10.8). Tyson was followed in the scoring by Devin Gillespie 9th (8th scoring - 16:24.1), Jared Ellsworth 17th (15th scoring - 16:42.1), Casey Kimzey 24th (21st scoring - 16:52.9) and Michael Finch 39th (35th scoring - 17:11.0). Timmy Lunt finished as our 6th scorer in 17:20.5, and Colton Bowler ran strong in his State debut finishing at 17:26.4.

Double Region Champs!
Congrats to the girls and boys who both claimed Region 9 titles last night at the Region 9 South Course! Kaylee and Tyson Boyer brought their stellar Region careers to an end with individual Region 9 victories.
Middle School: The day started strong with the Middle School race where some of our big crew of 6th-8th graders came and raced. Nick Hill ran a great race and outkicked a Hurricane kid for the win. Many other boys also ran great - all of them easily beating their previous course PR's. On the ladies side, we took 4 of the top 6 places - led by Alli Peterson and Josie Bushar; again all of the girls easily beat their course PR's!
JV Girls: The JV Girls have been our biggest surprise this season and they continued to run great at Region. We placed 3rd-6th (Liz Lunt, MaKayla Baxter, Liz Harrison, and Talor Boyer) and took a very close 2nd to Cedar when Abby Doty rounded out scoring at 11th. We hope Kelsi will get feeling better soon after her fall - such a bummer for her and the team... get feeling better Kels!
JV Boys: We knew this was going to be our toughest race coming into the meet. And it played out that way. Our boys had a strong game plan going into the race and executed well, but Desert Hills and Cedar really both brought their A games. However, we were all very excited for Byron Warby's start-to-finish win in a very strong time of 17:56! Congrats Byron!
Varsity Girls: The girls ran an extremely smart and well-paced race. Kaylee made a strong move early and took over the race and pushed for the win in 19:21 on this VERY difficult course - the toughest course we run all year. Jessica Peterson and Rachel Stone pushed close behind and finished in 3rd and 4th. Frida Nilsson ran a strong race and ended up placing 8th; and our scoring was rounded out by a strong run by Mia Hart finishing 14th. The ladies dominated the team scoring and won 30 to 56 over Cedar - for our 2nd consecutive Region Title! Next was Snow Canyon with 98 points and 100 for Canyon View to round out those teams qualifying for State. We do want to recognize Kaylee once again for her victory - especially since it was her 3rd Straight Region Title! That's right... 3 years of XC and 3 Region Titles!
Varsity Boys: The boys ran a strong race, pushing to their 5th Consecutive Region Title and 10th overall! Tyson Boyer (16:31) put himself into the lead early in the race and held off a strong effort by Ingalls of Snow Canyon and Devin Gillespie(3rd 16:41). Jared Ellsworth ran a very strong race to finish 3rd on the team and 6th overall. Michael Finch (9th) and Timmy Lunt (16) finished off our scoring to put us at 35 - well ahead of 2nd place Desert Hills at 72, Canyon View at 78, and Hurricane at 106 to finish off the State qualifiers.

Cedar Invite
Sept. 30th's Cedar Invite (check out the article in The Spectrum) was another very strong showing for PVXC. The JV girls started the day well with dominating win - scoring just 32 points. Paced by a top five of MaKayla Baxter (3rd - 21:30), Taylor Boyer (4th - 21:35), Liz Lunt (5th - 21:39), Kelsi Vaka (8th - 21:58), and Mariah Harris (12th - 22:51). The JV boys didn't have their best race, but still placed 3rd paced by Byron Warby who was the top region finisher in 7th at 17:18.
The Varsity girls ran well and placed 2nd to Timpview. Kaylee Boyer ran a great race and placed 2nd in 18:09.
The Varsity boys ran their best race of the year, taking 1st and avenging a loss to Salem Hills from last week. Tyson Boyer won the race in 15:39 and Devin Gillespie finished 5th also breaking 16:00 (15:53).
Both Varsity teams are setting themselves up to do very well at Region and State.

Athletes of the Week - Cedar
After a great team showing at the Cedar Invite, Tyson Boyer and Mariah Harris-Bowles have been selected as our Athletes of the Week.
Tyson, a Senior, has been working very hard to return to elite status after a difficult ankle injury at the very beginning of the school year. Running in his third race since the injury, Tyson looks to be returning to top for as he won the Cedar Invite in a time of 15:39.
Mariah, a Junior, is - like many XC runners - pulled in many directions by her various interests. One of which is drama, where she is highly involved in the school productions. He participation in this year's musical has limited her practice time, but Mariah still works very hard and it shows through her 12th place finish in the JV race at the Cedar Invite. Mariah was the 5th scoring JV runner and helped place the Panthers 1st in the race.
Great job Tyson and Mariah!

Regional Rankings 9/23
Nebo Invite/Wahsatch Rendezvous
PVXC had a successful trip up North this past weekend. On Friday the Varsity teams competed in the Nebo Invitational at Salem Hills HS, and on Saturday the JV's ran at the Wahsatch Rendezvous.
At Nebo, the girls took a close third to two very strong teams - Lehi and Maple Mountain. Kaylee Boyer added to her individual titles this year with a strong finishing time of 18:22 on the flat grass 3 mile course. Jessica Peterson had a killer kick to take 2nd in 18:28. Following, in the top ten was Rachel Stone finishing 7th in 19:05. The boys took 5th in a very tight race from 2nd-5th. Devin Gillespie paced the team in 18th with a 16:08 finish; followed by Tyson Boyer who is improving from his ankle injury - taking 22nd in 16:17. Casey Kimzey also had one of his better races of the season running 3rd on the team and 30th overall.
At the Wahsatch Rendezvous, both JV's ran very well.

Athletes of the Week - Nebo/Wahsatch
With some great performances at the Nebo Invite and Wahsatch Rendezvous, it was difficult to pick our Athletes of the Week. But we decided on Jessica Peterson and Jason Lindhardt
Jessica, a Junior, has shown great dedication to the team this season. She has balanced soccer and XC very well and in doing so, has helped push the girls team to the next level. Jessica took 2nd overall at the Nebo Invite with a killer kick on the track, helping lead the ladies to a close 3rd place finish.
Jason, a Junior, has shown steady and strong improvement over the season. He finished as the 2nd PV runner - and 9th overall - in the JV race at Wahsatch with a time of 17:44.
Congrats JP and Jason, great efforts this week!

Athletes of the Week - Provo
Athletes of the Week for Provo were Kaylee Boyer and Jared Ellsworth.
Kaylee, a Senior, has been running extremely well this year and despite being sick took her first title of the season by winning the Provo Bulldog Invite leading a pack of Panther harriers to the top three spots and the team title.
Jared, also a Senior, was just recognized as our August Athlete of the Month and he has continued to run well into September. Jared's emergence this year into a solid 2nd/3rd man on the team has played an important role in our team's development and push to earn another Region and State Title.

Provo Invite
Friday 9/16 the Varsity boys and girls went to run in the rain and mud at the Provo Bulldog Invite. Historically this has been one of our most successful meets - and this year was no different. The girls ran the 2.95 mile course (new course from previous years) in one of the best races of any PV team ever. Kaylee Boyer won the race in 18:42, followed closely by Rachel Stone in 18:44 (2nd), and Jessica Peterson in 18:48 (3rd). Frida Nilsson (19:54) and Mia Hart (20:13) rounded out the scoring by taking 9th and 13th overall - for a championship win over American Fork by a score of 28-38.
The boys placed third with a strong group showing, but missing Timmy Lunt (to illness), a lack of depth, and a little lower placement than usual led to an effort that wasn't our best. However, the top four grouped within 7 seconds, and that group included Tyson Boyer back for his first race effort this year - so those were two very positive signs.

August Athletes of the Month
Although the school has been slow to recognize them, we will announce our Athletes of the Month for August.
For the boys, Jared Ellsworth. Jared has played a crucial role in the development of this year's boys team. Jared was very dedicated in the summer and has come into the season in great shape. And this has shown by his consistent 2nd/3rd place finishes for the boys team.
On the girls team our Athlete of the Month is Frida Nilsson. Frida is an exchange student from Sweden who has not only been a great addition to the team for her running ability (4th Varsity runner), but also for her great personality.
Both of these athletes are great examples to their teammates in commitment and dedication as well as the team aspect of XC. We are so glad to have them on our team and look forward to their continued success!

Athletes of the Week - Dixie/PreRegion
Our Pine View XC Athletes of the past couple weeks are:
Liz Lunt and Matthew Young for Dixie
Byron Warby and Rachel Stone for PreRegion
Liz, a Sophomore, has improved mightily over the past two seasons. At Dixie, Liz was 4th on the team (which would have placed her as the 2nd JV runner on our team right now!)
Matthew, a Sophomore, also had a great race at Dixie and was out top runner overall - a true "Red Leader"!
Byron, another Sophomore, has worked very hard to get his running to a top level. At PreRegion he was our 7th runner - and with Tyson healthy, Byron would have placed as the top JV runner at the meet.
Rachel, a Junior, has really committed herself to XC this season and it is paying off as she has had many strong races placing 2nd and 3rd on the team and helping lead the team to many victories, like our big win at PreRegion.

Dixie and PreRegion
This past week, PVXC competed in two separate meets.
On Tuesday, the JV ran at the Dixie All-Comers. The team ran well against Snow Canyon, Hurricane, Dixie and Desert Hills. The boys were led by Matthew Young who placed 16th in 16:56 for the 3 mile course. The girls took 2nd as we worked to finalize our final 2 varsity spots leading into this coming week. Rachel Heinrich placed 4th in 21:57 to lead the Panthers. She was followed by Liz Harrison and Nichole Heinrich in 6th and 7th place. Liz Lunt also had a very strong race placing 14th (and 4th on the team).
On Friday, Cedar, Dixie and Snow Canyon joined us on the Region 9 South Course at Bloomington Hills North Park for our PreRegion 9 Meet. Both varsity squads were using the race as a time trial and ran a controlled tempo pace for a mile and then moved into their time trial. Despite this, both teams won their respective races by large margins and all the runners gained valuable experience on the Region 9 South Course.

State Preview
The Deseret News published its preview of the cross season recently. Notice no mention of PV in either the boys or girls... I think we have earned a little more respect than that. So you know what I say - STS - we can play the underdog!

Summer Running Club Race Results
So I am way late in posting these - but here are the results from the final race of Kids Club.
Tuesday, August 30, 2011
Athletes of the Week - SUU
Our Athletes of the Week for the SUU Invite are Michael Finch and Kelsi Vaka.
Michael (a Junior) has been coming off a stress fracture that sidelined him for most of the track season. It has been difficult for him to not only take the time off, but work back up to the level he once was. But through his hard work and dedication to the team and program, he has risen back to the top of the PV ranks. At SUU Mike was able to stay near Devin and then make a strong move into 2nd - leading the Panthers to a big win.
Kelsi (a Junior) has really shown improvement over the past couple years of XC and especially this year. Kelsi was one of 4 JV girls to sweep the top 4 spots at the SUU Invite - taking 4th overall and leading Pine View to a huge win over the schools.

SUU Invite
Panther harriers came out in force for the SUU Invite on August 27th. 3 out of the 4 team titles were won by PV!
The JV girls started the day very well taking the top 4 spots and winning 26 to 61 over 2nd (Cedar) led by Nicole Heinrich (1st - 21:35), MaKayla Baxter (2nd - 21:38), Taylor Boyer (3rd - 22:08), and Kelsi Vaka (4th - 22:10).
The JV boys place 2nd... barely (32-34 to Desert Hills). JV boys champ was Colton Bowler in 16:57 (would have place him 11th in the Varsity race!) and 4 Panthers placed in the top 10.
The Varsity girls just missed (by less than 1.5 seconds) the course record set by the 2009 Mt. View team that place 40th in the nation and 3rd at Nike SW. 3 Lady Panthers placed in the top 5 and 4 in the top 10 - Kaylee Boyer (3rd - 18:41), Rachel Stone (4th - 19:05), Jessica Peterson (5th -19:13), and Frida Nilsson (10th - 20:31) - and won 38-69 over 2nd (Cedar).
The Varsity boys finished the day with some strong pack running to win 33-50 over 2nd (Desert Hills). Michael Finch placed 2nd in 16:27, Devin Gillespie 3rd (16:32), Jared Ellsworth 6th (16:44), and Timmy Lunt ran a great 7th in 16:49.
