Race Report:
Region X Championships - Region went well for the Panthers once again. The JV girls started us off in strong fashion, and despite a few setbacks for a couple of our top runners, the girls placed a very solid 3rd. Kyanne ran a very smart race and came away with the victory. She was followed by Brianna in 8th. Elle placed 14th and was our 3rd runner. Our top 5 were rounded out by Roxy and Laney in 24th and 25th. The JV boys did an excellent job and placed 4th. Diego (4th) and Porter (10th) ran very well and earned top 10 finishes and varsity sports for State. Kyler and Parker were next and placed 25th and 26th with Grant rounding out our scoring in 29th (and Bridger close behind in 30th). The Varsity girls held off a very strong Cedar team to win their 3rd straight Region Championship by a score of 50-56. Brook and Adri paced the way with 5th and 6th place finishes. Our other scorers ran well as a pack to secure the win with Katie 12th, Kate 13th, and Brinley 14th. Brecken and Kennis also packed well and displaced many teams with their 29th and 30th place finishes. On the boys' side, Trey ran in a tight group throughout the race to earn 9th place. Kenny (22nd), Talmage (24th), Bentley (34th), Zack (42nd), and Gianno (44th) finished off our placement for a 5th place finish for the team.
Youngsters:
Great job to all our Youngsters; we can't wait until you are all with us on the team! And thanks so much to Coach Martha and other who were able to help with the team throughout the season. After State (so on October 28th) any Youngster that would like to come out and run with the HS level of our club team is invited to participate with us. We will continue to meet out front of the school at 3:00 and run throughout the winter.
PVXC Thought of the Week:
"Pressure is a privilege."
"Pressure is a privilege."
-Billie Jean King
What a great privilege we have to be on an amazing team, with awesome teammates, representing the best school in the world! We've had great success at PVXC over the years and with that comes some pressure to do well at a big meet like State. And with that pressure comes nerves. Well, guess what... that's great. That means you're part of something special. The team that comes in last, the program that doesn't expect to do anything at State doesn't have any pressure. We've earned that pressure with our past performances and our hard work. So don't let it stress you; let it be a reminder of how amazing you and your teammates are. Let's go do great things with the pressure!
