Week 14 Athletes of the Week -
Team Builder - Emma Ward, Jr. There isn't anyone around that brings a better attitude to practice and the team than Emma. Her positive attitude is infectious.
Tough at Practice - Scottie Bushar, Jr. Scottie has really been digging into workouts and pushing the top group of Varsity boys.
Best Performance - Kenny Olsen, Fr. Kenny finished top 10 in the Freshman race at Murray. In the past few races, he is making a serious push toward the Varsity.
Race Report -
Dixie All-Comers - On Tuesday we had a good (and very hot) race previewing the Region course at St. George Golf Course. Although we pulled our Varsity, the Panthers still represented very well. On the girls side, PVXC took 2nd place with Emma and Kylee in the top 10. Allison, Kennis, Jenna, Addie and Kyanne all finished in the top 25. And Brinley would have placed in the top 10 with her time from the boy's race. In the boy's race, Caleb was our top finisher followed by Dakota and Elijah in the top 30.
Murray Invite - This race was proof that our hard work is really starting to pay off. The times were stellar across the board. But it was much more than times, it was the effort everyone was putting into racing that shows our growth. The day started with the Seeded (Varsity) races. The girls had great packing and saw big races from everyone. Jess and Alli placed in the top 20 followed by Adri and Pyper in 29th and 30th. Brook followed next in 49th and was then quickly trailed by Jenessa in 55th. Rounding out the team were Emma in 70th and Jenna in 101st. Overall, the ladies placed 3rd behind two nationally ranked programs in Lone Peak and Farmington. The boys looked strong, too, and were led by Luke in 21st and Scottie in 28th. Boston and JD ran very well and placed 42nd and 44th. Our scoring was rounded out by Jason in 111th and then Gabe followed in 115th and Tyler in 132nd. This enough to place the boys 6th overall (behind 4 nationally ranked programs) and the top 4A team. In the Open Boy's Race, our top finishers were Dakota and Caleb who ran a 17:06 and a 17:18 respectively. In the Open Girl's Race, Allison (32nd) and Kylee (46th) raced very well. Sadie also had her best race of the year to finish in the top 100. Likewise, Nic had his best race to be a top 100 finisher in the Soph Boy's Race. In the Soph Girl's race, Kyanne ran very well to claim our top individual placer of the meet with a 6th place finish. She was joined in the top 20 by Addie who raced very well to take 17th. Emily also had her best race as a Panther to take 32nd in the same race. Hannah ran well as our lone representative in the Fresh Girl's Race, and Kenny (10th) and Trey (14th) claimed top 15 finishes in the Freshman Boy's Race. Overall, A Great Day to Be a Panther!

Thought of the Week: "Ultimately, running is deeply personal. That's why it's so important to us. At its core, it's you vs. you and there's huge value in this battle."
&
"Running is the best method I know for people to learn that they can be so much more than they ever dreamed they could be."
-Greg McMillan
Have you found your why? People often ask us runners why we do this hard thing - in fact, it's a great question to ask yourself... it's a great question to ask yourself well before you are out running in the 110 degree heat, or trying to wake up for an am practice, or pushing hard through the 3rd mile up some hideous hill. Many of us find our why answered in the ideas of these quotes. Running is something that really can touch your soul and bring out the very best of you. Remember, the mission of PVXC - TO LIVE and RUN GREATLY!
