Race Report:
Dixie All-Comers - aka the Furnace Race! Despite the merciless heat (high 112, race at 105+ just for the record), we did extremely well with a ton of improvement over our 2 mile time trial times from early August. Our Youngsters continue to do awesome and are looking great to carry on our tradition of excellence at PV. The boys started off the meet with a solid 3rd place finish. Gaige was our top finisher with a 7th place finish. Kevin continues to show a lot of growth with his 12th place finish. He was followed in 13th by Evan. Then we just had a ton of PV guys coming in: Boz 20th, Parker 21st, Gianno 25th, Liam 29th, Grant 31st, Jamin 35th, Ian 36th (and one of our biggest improvements on the day - over 2 mins faster than last month!), Jaxon 39th in his first race, AJ 41st, Carson 44th, Coleman 46th, Ben 47th, Gary 49th, Jake 50th... and on and on. Congrats guys; a lot of goals were set and accomplished as we ran strong together in the heat. The girls also placed 3rd and were led by Brianna taking home another win as she pulled away from the pack and controlled the race throughout! Brecken ran a solid race with a big improvement over the summer to take 5th. Next we had Alianna in 13th, then Amelia 44th, and Olivia 54th to round out our scoring. Sarah and Elena ran very well to finish 57th and 58th, and Bella rounded out the team in 69th place. PV Full results for all our races can always be found at athletic.net

Alumni Report:
Julien Canales - J had a great summer loaded with tons of mileage (many of you saw a lot of his hard work as he came out and ran with the team this summer). In his first race of the season held at famous Buffalo Park in Flagstaff (home of NAU), Julien ran to a seventh place finish on the Utah Tech team. Look for J to continue to improve and push to the top of the UT pack!

PVXC Thought of the Week:
"One factor that I've seen time and time again in those that made the jump from good to great is... Mentality/Belief. Being convinced that you're capable of being elite, and making the jump and believe you can reach your goals and working hard and smart to achieve them"
"One factor that I've seen time and time again in those that made the jump from good to great is... Mentality/Belief. Being convinced that you're capable of being elite, and making the jump and believe you can reach your goals and working hard and smart to achieve them"
-Isaac Wood (SLCC XC coach and former BYU asst.)
You may have noticed coaches bringing up this idea in the past week (and we will continue). It is really hard - even impossible - to accomplish something that you haven't seen yourself doing even in your dreams. YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE SOMETHING BEFORE YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH IT! Do you really believe you can break through and run with that teammate whose been up in front of you all year? Do you really believe you can take it to that next level and run Varsity? Do you really believe that sometime you could be a State Champ? Do you see yourself standing on that podium surrounded by your teammates having accomplished the ultimate goal of HS XC? Do you see yourself moving on to run in college, become pro, the Olympics, World Records? Who knows what that ceiling is; but if you've never envisioned yourself accomplish it, going out and doing it, then you've already created a limit for yourself. Dream big! Visualize it! And then get to work on achieving it! Every day... day in and day out!
