PVXC Thought of the Week:
"Remember that prioritizing sleep is not sacrificing other activities. Good sleep allows you to bring your full self to whatever it is you are doing. It's better to be fully awake for 16 hours than 60 percent awake for 20. You live more life that way."

Dual w/ Crimson: Somehow we battled through some extreme heat and ended up with a very good race with Crimson. The Youngsters got us started with a good race with a big crew of MSers from around the area. The HS girls ran very well and had great packing throughout and finished with 13 of the top 18. Kennis led us with a 2nd place finish. She was followed by Katie, Sadie, Madeline and Kyanne to help the Panthers to victory 20-41. The boys also saw strong packing and took 5 of the top 6 spots - led by Bryan in 1st, Keaton 2nd and Boston in 3rd to win 17-40.
Timpanogos Invite: On Saturday, the Varsity teams traveled to our largest meet of the season, the Timpanogos Invite in Orem. The Varsity girls ran well in the Elite Varsity Division and placed 5th overall as a team. We were led by Adri who had a breakout race and placed 6th overall. Brinley ran a strong 22nd followed then by Alli, Brooklyn and Pyper all in the top 45. The boys also competed in the Elite Varsity Division and placed 16th. Scottie led the team and our Sophmore crew continued to improve led by Trey who was our 2nd man and Keaton and Kenny who were our 5th and 6th runners.

It seems that we've been having quite a few talks/thoughts about sleep lately. Is it an overload? I don't know - maybe if you sleep a good amount it is. But being around this stuff long enough, it doesn't take much to know that almost every high schooler could use more dedication to sleep. It is the #1 performance enhancer; it helps you get more out of every workout than anything else; it helps you fully engage more in everything you are doing than anything else. GET MORE SLEEP! A lot of you ask, "Coach, what can I do to get better?" Most of you are doing a lot of things right - workouts, drills, weights - one thing you could do better at... SLEEP!
