Athletes of the Week - Cedar/Hurricane/SUU

We had to go back a few weeks and catch up our Athletes of the Week from the first three weeks of the season, so here they are:

Cedar All-Comers -
Boys: Nick Hill.  Nick is a freshman who ran in the Youngsters group with us last year winning many races including the Region Title.  Nick has continued his strong running this summer by having a great race at Cedar that propelled him to the Varsity squad for the Hurricane Invite - pretty big deal.  Nick enjoys Appropriate Tuesdays, morning runs with a sunrise and Coach's crazy rants about left-handers.
Girls: Aubrey McBride.  Aubrey is a senior who has worked very hard this past summer and had it pay off right away.  She had a great race at Cedar, probably her best race ever, placing 3rd on the team and 14th overall.  Aubrey enjoys being the official treat girl this season and knows the value of peanut butter M&M's and Wheat Thins.

Hurricane Invite -
Boys: Jake Taylor.  Jake, another freshman, was chosen because of his hard work and example.  Jake ran a very strong run for his first HS race and did it with a smile.  Some of Jake's likes: blue cheese, the smell of dirt, and lazy winter days.  Dislikes: diet drinks and the KGB.
Girls: Mia Hart.  Not many runners have worked as hard as junior Mia Hart.  At Hurricane she placed 5th overall and made the huge jump to elite Region runner.  Mia truly enjoys dirty hair and Christmas sing-a-longs.

SUU and Highland Invites -
Boys: Michael Finch.  Senior Mikey Flat Stanley Finchy Boy had one of the greatest races in PVXC history at the Highland Invite at Sugarhouse Park in SLC.  Mike led much of the race and ended up placing 3rd to a national top 20 runner and top 75 runner.  Mike enjoys laughing - a lot, and giving me a grin in class that makes me think he is up to something fishy (or Finchy, I've heard it both ways).
Girls: Sally Lawlor.  Sophomore Sally Lawlor has seen tremendous improvement this season.  One of her goals is to make Varsity and with her hard work she is on her way.  Sally's biggest joy is making the coaches wonder what she is thinking since she never talks.  Her biggest pet peeve is coaches who make up stuff about what she might be thinking since she never talks!

Great job all of you!  You guys are amazing examples of what PVXC is all about!
