We had another great week of PVXC. Much of the team traveled up to PreState on Weds and did very well. Then we ended the week with some very good workouts to set us up for a strong push into our championship season in the next few weeks. We are getting pretty close to the end of our regular season, so like we talked about on Thoughtful Thursday, now is a great time to be doing things just a little better... with Purpose!
Purpose of the Week's Workouts: Click here for this week's workouts. We continue in our Competition Phase where we want to give everyone a chance to really have great races. Although we still need to keep our aerobic engines strong, we don't focus as much on the long run; instead we continue growth of race pace (and touch on sub race pace) development.

Race Report:
PreState - 2023 results. We had great weather, a little cooler with some cloud cover, and it was great to be on the State course. The races were divided into grades (Fr/So and Jr/Sr), so we were able to work on a few different things individually and as a team. In the Fr/So races the girls placed 11th and the boys 2nd (just 3 points off a powerhouse Herriman team). Emmalee led the way with a 2nd place finish and Sariah had a strong race placing 40th. Bender led the boys with a 6th place finish, then Trevor 12th, Liam 25th, and Carter and Ben 27th and 28th. The Jr/Sr boys ran very well and took 4th behind some nationally ranked programs. Bridger and Talmage ran very well and took 7th and 8th, Porter 20th, and Kyler 22nd. The girls took the win (and were 2nd in the full meet merge behind national top 15 team American Fork). Leading the way was a strong duo of Kate in 3rd and Brecken in 5th, followed by Elle in 11th, Katie 21st, and Brianna 26th.
Alumni Report:
Julien and Keaton raced for Utah Tech down at the UC Riverside invite in Riverside, Ca, this weekend. Julien ran the 8K course in 25:28 and placed 3rd for the TrailBlazers and Keaton ran a time of 27:12.

PVXC Thought of the Week:
"Observation: the people who sustain success over the long-haul are rarely shooting for success. They are focused on the path. Their goal is mastery, which knows no end."
-Steve Magness
This is a great quote that not only goes along with what we talked about on Thoughtful Thursday, but goes along with our team motto this year of "Building the Legacy". The Legacy is all about your journey and the journey of our program. When we are continually seeking to do our best through mastery of even the seemingly simple skill (seeking a purpose in all things) we will have continued growth throughout our journey.
