Run-a-Thon
On Labor Day, we had our most successful and fun run-a-thon ever. Because of the size of the team, we split into two squads who competed for the most mileage and fundraising. We also included a hour of family/friend running that provided an opportunity for others to get involved in the event. By the end of 12 hours of food (Coaches Holt and Roberts should be professional breakfast cooks!), frisbee, soccer (Taylor and Holt own!), and laps, the teams ended with 106 and 112 miles - each # was higher than we have ever recorded! Thanks to everyone who participated. It was a lot of fun, we raised a lot of needed money for the team, and became a closer team.
August Athletes of the Month
Kaylee Boyer
Our PVHS athlete of the month for September is Kaylee. She has established herself as the #1 runner on our team in just her first XC season. Kaylee is also pushing toward a region title. This is a very big goal, but she has been working extremely hard both morning and afternoon to achieve this.
Trevor Thompson
On the boys side, Trevor in the athlete of the month. Trevor's consistent racing has moved him to the top of the Utah XC rankings despite his annoying singing and antics that drive Coach crazy and bus drivers to banning him to the back of the bus!
Congrats Kaylee and Trevor - your seasons have been awesome! Keep it up!

Provo Bulldog and Wahsatch Rendezvous
PROVO BULLDOG
What a big weekend for our team! Both Varsity teams and a few JV runners traveled to Provo to run in the Provo Bulldog Invite. The girls ran extremely well and were a mere few points from beating Snow Canyon. If you can't tell, this has been our goal all year as SC is the defending region champ and a strong team. Each meet this year, the girls have closed the gap and gotten closer to this goal. Stefani and Cassidy's strong races at Provo really moved us a step in the right direction.
The JV boys ran solid as well. The best run was probably Casey's. He really looked strong and pushed himself.
The Varsity boys were up against a very strong field with American Fork (SW#2/US#13), Mountain View (SW#3/US#23) and a very good Pleasant Grove team. We really ran as a team and each runner did great as we were able to take second to American Fork, defeating MV by nearly 20 points! This was a big step for our team on our goal of a State Title!
WAHSATCH RENDEZVOUS
After an very physically and emotionally draining race yesterday, the Varsity boys bounced back to win the Wahsatch Rendezvous! This unique race pits each #7 runner against each other, each #6, and so on. Tason started us well with a 15 second victory. Ryan continued the winning ways with a 17 second victory of his own at #6. Then Devin won #5 by 9 seconds. Finally, Tyson won #4 by 4 seconds (24th overall). Austin ran very well at #3, taking 3rd (even with a wrong turn) and 17th overall. Corey also took 3rd (at #2) and 13th overall. In the final race, we needed a solid race from Trevor to take home the win, and he delivered a great final mile, moving into 5th (3rd scoring) and securing a 1 point win over a very strong Hillcrest team.

Tyson and Megan
Tyson Boyer and Megan Frodsham were athletes of the week. Tyson has become a solid fourth runner through his hard work and willingness to risk running with those above him. This has taken him to a very strong level of running himself, and greatly improved the team.
Megan's positive attitude and hard work have brought out what cross-country is really about to our team. Megan has also probably been the top recruiter for our team this year, bringing out a big group of friends building our team for years to come!

More RACING! and a #4 ranking!
BYU Invite
On the weekend of Sept. 5, Pine View Harriers headed up to Provo for the BYU Autumn Classic. This was a solid meet for all who participated. The girls ran well and recorded some solid times on the looping 5K course. Fresh/Soph girls finished 13/14 teams, JV girls were 13/15 teams, and the Varsity girls finished 16/30 teams with Kaylee as the top finisher in 43rd place and not too far off of Snow Canyon.
The boys, as in years past, ran well also. The Fresh/Soph race saw a 4th place finish (25 teams). JV boys ran very well 2/24 with Danny taking 5th. And the Varsity took 3rd out of 32 with Trevor finishing 4th! Although the final result was a little disappointing for the boys, it is still a long season with a lot of time for improvement.
MURRAY Invite
Sept. 11. The Varsity boys went to Murray to compete in the Utah Nike Cross Team Qualifing Meet. After a strong week of practice, they bounced back from last week and ran very strong up front to win the meet! The score of 100 defeated a very tough Timpanogos team (105) and Davis (112, who beat us last week). Trevor and Corey both place in the top ten. A strong run by both Austin and Tyson was also very important to the team effort. This victory moved us up to #4 in the SouthWest rankings! Cool Beans!
