It's been impressive to see everyone coming back out and refocusing after a long XC season. It's paying off already for many of you with a great race at the Autumn Classic. And it will pay off for all of you (and for our team) in the long run as we keep pushing through these next few weeks.
Purpose of the Week's Workouts: This week's workouts - Make sure you check out the schedule of workouts for the week to see when you should be at practice. This week we will hit some hills and some more race pace work as we prep to race this weekend and in a couple weeks at the Border Wards.

Autumn Classic:
A great evening for racing with many great races. Many big PRs and 2 mile debuts. We used this event to enter times for the Hoka Postal Nationals. Our girls Varsity crew ended up with the 10th ranked ave time in the nation and were the Utah leaders. Our Freshmen girls were the 6th ranked 9th grade squad in the nation. The Freshmen boys and Sophomore boys were both the 9th ranked national team of their respective grades. And the Varsity boys finished the competition as the 43rd ranked team in the nation and #6 in Utah.
Upcoming Events:
Border Wars Utah Qualifier: Nov. 7th in Spanish Fork. We are pretty sure everything has come together (thanks for helping get this all planned in a very short time). Driver parents, you will get info sent home tomorrow and athletes/parents an itinerary for trip will also come home tomorrow. Please start paying for the trip; it will be $55 to pay for gas and hotels (you will be responsible for your own food). DO NOT PAY TO THE HIGH SCHOOL! This is a club trip, so pay by cash or Venmo to Coach Holt @Dave-Holt77 ***ITINERARY***
Border Wars: Nov. 21st at Staheli Farm
PVXC Dream Mile: Nov. 23rd at PVHS
Team Banquet: we will be having an awards night. Date hasn't been set yet, nor do we have all the details. We will need to host at an outdoor venue for social distancing. It is likely, that we will have an ice cream social at a park where everyone can space out. So things will be a little different this year, but what's new? Updates coming soon.
PVXC Thought of the Week:
"Honest question: Excluding your running, do you make your team a better team? Everyone is capable of this, but you need to make it a goal."

-Hansons Running Project
Every single one of us are at a different point in our running ability. Some are All-Staters headed to college, some are brand new and just figuring things out... and then everything in between. But to make a great team, it doesn't matter how good of a runner you are. What matters is how good of a teammate you are. So what have you done to make the team better this year? Were there areas that you struggled as a teammate that you could do better at with some refocusing? These last few weeks are a great time to improve yourself as a teammate and help make this program go to another level because of your leadership and contribution.
