Week 23 and Autumn Classic Recap

Big week coming up... we've got our banquet on Thursday and a big week of practice before peaking for Nike next week.
This past week was another strong one for PVXC.  We held our annual PVXC Autumn Classic on Thursday night.  This year, we brought the meet to the track and ran a 2 mile for the Hoka Postal Nationals competition.  Both PV and DH ran very well (along with a few guys from Cedar) and hit nationally ranked times.  Our Freshman girls times ranked them in the top 30 nationally and 3rd in Utah.  Our Varsity boys times placed us 11th nationally (at the time; we've been bumped backed two spots since then) and 2nd in the state.  And our Varsity girls are placed 2nd nationally and 1st in the state.  The boys earned their times with a tight 13 second spread from 1-5.  While the girls were able to place 3 girls under the Utah 4A State Qualifying time for the upcoming track season.  Outside our Varsities, we had a lot of other great performances as well.  Great job to everyone.

Banquet - Team banquet will be held on Thursday evening at PVHS.  It has been requested that we use the back entrance of the cafeteria because of other activities at the school that evening.  We are also asking that we show up at 5:45p so we can start eating promptly at 6:00p.  If you haven't got your assignments yet, a note will be sent home with you.  This is for all members of the Pine View HS XC team, please come and be recognized for your great season; and please bring your family.

Nike - Those who need to finish paying, please do!  Ask Coach Holt if you need to know your final payment.

Foot Locker - If you are thinking/planning on going to Foot Locker, you need to pay for the race soon.  The cost will go up in the next week.  This race is completely on your own.  The club will not travel to California together.  But it is a great experience to finish off the season.  We will continue to have club practice up until Foot Locker for those who are interested.
