21 weeks... nearly 150 days ago... that's when we met together on a (probably) hot June day to start up this season. And quite a season it has been: long hot summer runs, Kids Club Tuesdays, High Altitude Camp, some of you you're first 1,2,3,4, and 5 mile runs, some of you you're first 10 mile runs, early mornings before school, lightning, awesome races and bummer races, friendships formed, team parties, and goals accomplished - we can truly say we have CHOPPED WOOD CARRIED WATER. It's been an awesome year, and now we get to bring our season all together with State this week!
A little Decker production for some hype!
*NEXT YEAR HIGH ALTITUDE CAMP* JULY 17-20 AT JACOB LAKE - make your plans now.
Summer Moratorium will be June 28-July 4
Some other important announcements:
- Nike SW Regional (NXR) - The final total will be $155 if you'd like to pay the full cost right now (includes, bus, hotel, and registration). Final payment due at the end of October. Spots are filled up if you haven't paid your intial $100 (if you would still like to go and haven't paid, talk to Coach Holt and we'll get you on the wait list - first come, first serve).
- Those interested in going to Foot Locker/Eastbay/Champs (whatever else it wants to be called) in California in December, we should start planning that a bit too. We are thinking maybe some parents would like to drive and we can take 15-20 kids who might want to go. Give us some feedback if you want to go (athletes) or may want to help drive/chaperone (parents).

Race Report:
We had a great Region 10 Championships on Tuesday at the Bloomington Hills North Park. The weather was still a bit warm, and of course the grass was long, but PVXC gave it a great effort. Our guys in the JV B race did awesome and got us started well - Gary got the win and Parker R. took top 5. JV girls ran very well led by Ma'a taking a solid win. Brecken also ended up top 5, then Laney and Alianna ended up 15th and 16th. Unfortunately one of our top runners (one of the top runners in the race) wasn't able to finish, but we still took a close fourth as Olivia continued her improvement throughout the year to finish as our fifth. The JV boys also took 4th, as the JV A race was probably the most loaded JV field in our Region's history. Gaige led us with a 14th place finish followed by Evan, Bender, Keaton, Carson, Liam, and Kevin all within 17 seconds of Gaige (not a bad 1-7 spread). The Varsity Girls took a very close 2nd to Cedar by a score of 31-33. Brook took over the race halfway through and won in very strong fashion setting a course record by over 20 seconds. She was followed by Emmalle in 4th, Adri in 7th, Kate in 10th, Katie in 11th, and Elle in 14th. It was a great race by our girls and we're going to give it a real run for the money next week at State. The Varsity boys finished us up with another 4th place team finish. Joining Brook, Trey won the boys title to become the first time with a full region that both individual champ were from PV. And like Brook, Trey also broke the course record with his winning time. After Trey, we had a 10 second spread between Talmage, Bridger, Porter, and Kyler to round out our scoring. Diego wasn't far off our pack, and Dane ran well and secured a spot on the Varsity team for State. It was a definitely a great day to be a Panther as our team ran well and with class despite some adversity from different things.
