Region - We have the opportunity to host Region this year on Tuesday, October 9th from 4:00-7:00p. We will be using the Sand Hollow GC Course that hosted the Hurricane Invite and Region last year. We could really use some help from parents along the course and at the finish line. Please let the coaches know if you're able to help. Helping at this meet will still let you do some good yelling and cheering for our Panthers as we go for some Region titles!
Car Wash - The Car Wash was a big success. Everyone helped at ton. Bring your unsold tickets and money to practice Monday. (Remember you are responsible for all unsold tickets, make sure they are accounted for.)
Phoenix - The $100 down payment for the Nike trip is due Monday (October 1st). This money will guarantee your spot for the trip. The total cost will be around $175-$200 depending on our bus cost and the number of athletes who come (the more athletes, the lower the cost). Please remember that all payments will be made to the PVXC club through Coach Holt and MUST be made in cash (no checks accepted).

Week 15 Athletes of the Week -
Tough at Practice - Kylee, Jr. Kylee is always pushing herself and those around her. She loves XC and is totally committed to doing what it takes to get our team and herself to improve.
Team Builder - Coach Decker, Super Sr. Coach Decker is doing a great job at bringing the team together through his beautiful beard and desire to see everyone do his/her best.
Performance - Addi, Sr. Addi ran a strong race up at Bob Firman. She is a great example of pushing through the tough times and being persistent. Good things will always come to those who work their hardest (even if it isn't happening right when we want it to).
Cedar Invite - Way to bring it together Panthers! The JV Girls were lights out with a perfect sweep. Jenna finished 1st, Allison 2nd, Jenessa 3rd, Addie T. 4th, and Kyanne 5th. Kathya also finished in the top 10 with a 9th place finish. Tavin ran well in the JV Boys race to medal and led the crew to a 2nd place finish. The Varsity Girls ran quite a bit better and placed 2nd to DH by a score of 50-55 and were led by Jess (2nd), Alli (3rd), and Rylee (14th) medaling in the top 15. The Varsity Boys then put together a strong team effort finishing with a 1-4 spread of 7 seconds and 1-5 of just 31 seconds. Julien finished 4th, Nathan 9th, Scottie 10th, Cooper 12th, and Mikey 18th. The Panthers 6 and 7 actually finished in front of all but one school's 5 (our 7 missed Cedar 5 by just 1 place)
Thought of the Week: "The secret is to work less as individuals and more as a team. As a coach, I play not my eleven best, but my best eleven."

This quote by the legendary football coach of Notre Dame really epitomizes what us coaches think about when looking at our team, and hopefully what each of you think about when analyzing yourself and our program. It isn't always the best runner or the fastest runner. We look at who contributes the most to our team. Are you striving to be the best for yourself or the best for our team?
