Important changes have been set in motion for out Youngsters program. The district has become concerned with the involvement of 6th-8th graders in cross country and has called for an end to our season. Fortunately, our program has only a few minor changes to implement and we will be in compliance. So what does this mean for us? We will continue to hold Youngster practices through the PVXC Club and with Coach Martha Baker at the regularly schedule times. We will not, however, be able to have our final two meets of the season - at Snow Canyon and Region. Instead, PVXC will be hosting a skills development race (Time Trial) at PV this coming week, most likely on Friday. Those who are planning on racing at FootLocker, will need to follow the guidelines discussed below. While the rest of our Youngsters will receive more information about winter and spring training within the next week. At PV, we continue to have the largest and most successful Youngsters program in the area. We are so thankful to Martha. She is a great coach who loves working with each of these developing Panther harriers. We appreciate the hard work of parents who get their kids to races and practice and want to see their kids learn the values taught through distance running. And we, of course, are so proud to have the Youngsters with us on our club team. They are amazing runners and have so much energy. Keep up the great work and keep coming around… our program will always be here running and we want everyone who wants to, to be a part of it too!
Another bit of info for FootLocker. All athletes planning on attending the FootLocker/California trip with the PVXC Club need to have the entire $165 payment taken care of by October 6th. We have a few seats left and we need them sold for $ sake and we want them sold for the coolness of having more of our teammates coming. If no high schooler's claim them (or those who haven't finished their payments don't pay in full), we will sell the seats off to other runners - possibly from other schools. Please remember that everyone who goes to Cali (except "manager of the year - Chandler") needs to sign up for and run one of the races. You can find the link to sign up by going to FootLocker West Region and following the links. Athletes who plan on attending this trip, must continue to be committed to the team and practice up through the trip. Those who can't meet these requirements are asked to not attend.
