6th-8th Grade Info

We like to call them The Youngsters.  These are the 6th-8th graders who make up the top middle school program in Southern Utah!

We are pleased to announce this year we will have a coach dedicated to our middle school program - Martha Baker, a PVXC Hall of Famer, will be working with our 6th-8th graders as well as with our HS  program on occasion.

Practice Schedule - The Youngsters will be practicing 3 times a week as an organized group (Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays) at 3:05-4:30(app.) at PVHS - meet at the top of the football field.  The other days of the week, 6th-8th graders are invited to still attend practice if it fits in their schedule.

Races - many of our meets have middle school races, often preceding the HS races.
  This week we have two races for those who would like:
  Tues at Cedar HS 5:30p
   Sat at Hurricane HS app. 10:00a

Paperwork - 6th-8th grade athletes will be required to fill out a disclaimer which discusses the risk involved in XC running and releasing the program/school from liability.  It is HIGHLY ENCOURAGED that each athlete receive a physical to make sure he/she is ready for the rigors of distance running.

We have often had the largest 6th-8th grade program in our region and we have definitely had the most successful as our boys and girls each claimed the top spots individually and as a team at last year's Region Championships!  We want to continue to grow this amazing sport, so we invite all 6th-8th graders to come out and join our program and would love to have you bring your friends!
