We are coming up on our last few weeks of the regular season. But we are also getting ready for our post-season. Take a look at the following info and come prepared to help with the planning on Monday...
PVXC Club Trip to Nike - It looks pretty sure that our club trip (this isn't associated with the school or the district) is going to be to Phoenix for the Nike Cross Regional meet. This is on the Saturday before Thanksgiving and we will be traveling on 11/18-20. Usually the cost of these trips ends up being around $175 *but don't quote us on that yet!* This includes two nights of hotels, meet entry, and the charter bus. We need a count of who is interested on Monday (this won't tie you in, but we need a good idea, so please talk it over and have a good idea).
Purpose of the Week's Workouts: This week's workouts. We move into our Competition Phase this week. The goal... get ready to run fast. Minutes will come down (but varsity will still hold a little longer than the jv) and the intensity will build up a bit.

Race Report:
Hurricane Invite - Out at the awesome Sand Hollow Course on a beautiful day, our JV crews ran great against the Hurricane and Dixie Varsity and Cedar JV. The girls took 2nd with a strong top 10 finish from Kyanne, Amelia, and Elle who took 5th, 6th, and 7th. Brianna pushed well to earn 15th and Macy wasn't far behind in 18th to round out our scoring. Roxy had another strong race and so did Alianna. The boys were led by Diego who had an awesome race placing 12th. Bridger placed 17th. He was followed by Gianno, Carson, and Parker for our scoring. Evan had an excellent debut race, and Ben ran well also.
Athletes of the Week: (from Week 16)
Performance of the Week: Kenny (Jr.) - Kenny ran well at Border Wars, closing the gap significantly between our #1 and #2 down to just .2 secs.
Tough at Practice: Elle (So.) - Coming back from injury and surgery, Elle has been very patient with healing and it is starting to pay off as she has been able to continue to work back into shape and grow her role on our team.
Team Builder: Allen (Jr.) - Allen has a statement to make and we better all listen! Allen is a quite, yet effective leader who holds the feet to the fire when necessary and is doing a great job at it.

PVXC Thought of the Week:
"When an athlete gives an excuse during a post-race interview then they started with that in their head. It's hard to run well when you're already prepared to explain why you didn't."

We've talked a ton about mindset, positivity, (re)focus, and stuff like that all year. Also, we've all worked so hard throughout the year. Now is the time to bring it all together and set all the excuses, nerves, and scared stuff aside. Let's be ready to go into this week's workouts and race with only POSITIVE VIBES!
