Pine View XC: December 2015

State

The Utah State XC Meet was one filled with a lot of emotional up and downs for the Panthers. We couldn't be prouder of both squads - both placing second and for the first time in PV history having both the boys and girls coming home with trophies. We are also very proud of Preston Warby for earning Academic All-State.

The girls' race had some controversy about runners going out-of-bounds and after initially thinking we had won, we placed 2nd to Stansbury by 1 point. Although this was a very difficult situation and there were a lot of unanswered questions, the girls handled it all as best they could and will move on stronger than ever before because of it. Each of the girls ran well and helped us set a new PV team time record as well as the 8th fastest 3A time ever. We are also proud to have 6 All-State athletes on our team - 2nd Team: Meskerem Stucki 8th, Rylee Holt 13th; 3rd Team: Josie Bushar 15th, Ellie Bushar 16th, Jacey Finch 18th, and Caroline Clements 20th.
