Great job on making it through a tough week with the start of school, a race, practice schedules and other activities. Let's keep it rolling with a positive week coming up.
Just a quick comment about practice... Everyone is, of course, expected to be at practice (as outlined below). With the rare exceptions, athletes need to be at each practice. Athletes have chosen a level they want to work at, and are then expected to be there. It is very difficult to build a team when our teammates are missing. Obviously you miss the training when you are gone, but you also miss the building of the team and team unity, trust, and friendship that is created from being together. One of our biggest misses this past week was Friday morning. Friday morning is not an optional practice. We practice together as a team on Friday morning, because of the differing schedules of the schools and to allow athletes time to complete school work and spend more time with families/friends on Friday afternoon. Those who are missing required practices won't be invited to go to meets with the team.
Stuff you HAVE TO DO!:
Register My Athlete - most are done; check and finish if you haven't.
Physical - Get yours done if you haven't yet. Must be at least scheduled, and has to be complete before you can compete at Cedar or later races. If you had your physical done at the end of school last year, make sure you have done your RMA so that the office can enter your physical in.
Fee - has to be paid. Again, has to be done before you can compete at Cedar or later races.

Race Report:
Cedar All-Comers - 2023 results. It was great to get the first full distance race in. And despite the rainy weather, we did excellent. A few of our Youngsters headed up and represented PV very well. In the rainy girls race, we took 2nd on a tie-breaker (just a few points back of DH). Emmalee (3rd), Brecken (4th), and Elle (9th) led the way with top 10 finishes. Vanessa continues to grow in her racing and recorded our 8th fastest Freshman time on this course in the past 8 years (course change in 2016). It was also great to see some of our other new members of the team (like Cassie, Sariah, Ren, Samantha, and Ayla) get their first race in and overcome some of the nerves of racing. The boys also took 2nd behind DH and had a solid pack of Talmage (4th), Bridger (6th), Kyler (7th), Porter (11th), and Bender (15th) leading the way. Our Sophomore crew continues to improve, and we saw great races from Trevor, Liam, and Jake. And the Freshman group has shown a lot of potential with Brennan, Elliot, Nate, Nathan, and Ali'i up front. PVXC Records

PVXC Thought of the Week:
"Those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything."
-George Bernard Shaw
As we focus a lot of the importance and power of the mind and our thoughts, and the role they play in our performance as well as our desire to see growth throughout the season, this quote really carries a lot of power. EVERYTHING starts with the mind. If you can't change the mind, how can you change anything? Many want to get better, but then do the same thing (miss practice, don't focus on pre or post-run work, get to bed late, don't stay up in school) that has caused them to not grow in the first place. Until you have really had a paradigm shift in your thinking, the growth we say we desire won't be there.
