Race Report -
Viking Invite - We haven't ever attended this meet, but circumstances brought us here this season, and the team performed well. On Friday, the Varsity team got our afternoon practice in on the State course for the 3rd and final time for the season (we are feeling prepped and ready to roll in a month!). The course on Saturday was a bit muddy and sloppy from the rains on Friday. It consisted of a 3x1mile loop course almost entirely on the grass (with a small section of the track). The Varsity girls started us out well. Jess got out with the front runners and held their throughout the race. She finished a strong 3rd in a time of 18:48. Alli battled throughout and finished 5th. And Adri had her best race of the season to put 3 Panthers in the top 10 with a 9th place finish. Brooklyn continues to improve and was our 4th runner with a 23rd place finish. Then Pyper finished out our scoring with her 29th place finish. Jenessa placed 39th and Allison 57th. With a mix of strong races and off races, we still pulled off the win by a score of 63 to 68 over Lone Peak. The boys had a similar race with some Panthers running very well, and a few being a little off. We were led by a very strong race from Luke (he just continues to put himself into position to run with the best in the State and every week he gets better and better at it). He was 7th overall and just the 2nd non-AF runner. Scottie placed 16th, followed closely by James and Boston in 23rd and 24th. Through these 4 we were not far off 2nd place and in a very solid 3rd. Dakota, running in his first true Varsity race, showed that he is ready to help sure up the 5th spot with a good run to round out our scoring. His 50th place landed us in 4th, just a few points off 3rd. Finishing not long after Dakota were Tyler and Jason. Read the Milesplit recap here.
Youngsters Running Club - We are still open for any 6th-8th graders to join us. Practice is Monday and Thursday at 3:00 at PVHS. For questions email Coach Holt at pineviewxc@gmail.com. Youngsters race this Saturday at Canyon View at 10:00 (but maybe 9:15). Cost is $1. We have to preregister, so please let Coach Bethany know on Monday if you are planning on attending.
Thought of the Week: "Be where your feet are."
-unknown
There are a lot of ways you can apply this thought - It fits very well in both running and life (as well as in the balance of the two). When it is time to be doing school work, focus on school work. When it is time to hang with the fam, focus on the fam. Be where your feet are. And then... When it is time to run, focus on running. And while you are running, be in the present. You can't think about the bad move you just made, or how tired you are, or how much you have left in front of you, or whatever else; just focus on that exact moment you are on: do what you are supposed to do that step, that second, that breath. Then do it again.
