Week 12 and Desert Relays

What a great week!  Thanks to all those who came out to the early run on Monday morning AND WORE YOUR CAMP SHIRTS (same thing this week... run starts at 5:30a, wear the camp shirt).  We had a good workout at the park on Wednesday and then followed that up with a very strong race at the Desert Relays.  Both races looked to be very close coming into them, but we were probably on the down side of those scores.  The girls got us started off very well, especially our 3-6th teams, and we were able to flip the score and secure our 3rd straight title by 2 points over a DH team that ran even stronger than last week.  Jacey Finch won our lone Plate with a huge run on Leg 3, besting her Leg record (set last year) by 5 seconds!  The boys followed suit by pulling what would probably be called an upset and winning by just 1 point!  It was a great race, and all the boys pulled together for their first win over the 3x defending state champs in 4 years.  Probably the greatest thing about these wins is that as a team we won only 1 of the 6 individual titles, but in the true definition of TEAM, everyone did their best and helped Pine View to achieve our best!  Great job Panthers; we are so proud of you guys.  We then capped the night off with our annual Run-A-Thon.  There was a ton of team bonding, great games, running, food, wildness and whatever else you could imagine.  Awesome times... and glad it's done.

Just a quick note, but a very important one, on practice - Our team is growing a lot.  We will have over 70 athletes registered by this week.  This means it is even more important than ever to make sure you are at practice for every required workout (and only use the optional ones when very needed).  Many of our trips will only take between 48 (like Murray and Nebo) and low 50's athletes.  The very first way that we will determine the traveling squad is attendance at practice.  YOU MUST BE AT EVERY REQUIRED PRACTICE TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE WEEK TO BE ELIGIBLE TO RACE! (AND FOR OVERNIGHT TRIPS IT WILL BE 2+ WEEKS.)
