just scroll down another post or two and you'll find the info you need)
So what should you be doing with 1 week to go until the official start day?
Get started a little bit:
read through the Parent/Athlete Meeting slides (if you weren't at the meeting... or even if you were and you want a little more detailed explanation of PVXC)
get your physical if you haven't yet
get familiar with the Pre-Run Warm-Up stuff and Post-Run stuff we do - follow the link and create a login. Also check out all the docs on the right labeled under "XC Training System Info" and request access to those with your school google account.
start running a little - if you run a few times this week 5, 10, 20-25mins it will make a big difference in how you feel next week
GO GET SOME FRIENDS TO JOIN YOU! Running is a social activity and having friends out there with you is one of the very best things about XC. Call up some friends and invite them to come out with you
We will be having our Opening Social - on June 7th, Wednesday, at noon at Quail Lake!
First day of practice - June 5th, Monday, 7:00a at Washington Elementary
Thought of the week - "The beginning is the most important part of the work" - Plato
Starting something can be a scary thought. Whether is coming out for a new sport that seems kind of hard or being an experienced runner who feels that maybe there is some pressure on you now to run fast and lead. Because of this fear, many people don't even take the first step - it is just easier to not do it than to work hard, get out of your comfort zone, be brave. Those who dare take this initial action, however, are those that grow and do great things in their lives. So as we get ready to start of a new adventure this XC season, remember that getting started is the most important step in accomplishing anything... without getting started, you'll never go anywhere. So, PVXC, let's go somewhere!
Practices: We begin practice early in the summer. This is very important to staying healthy and having a successful injury-free season. As a cross country team we will be practicing on Mon. June 5th. We will practice pretty much every weekday throughout the summer – I know that sometimes you’ll be gone to camps, vacations, etc… but come to practice every day you are in town. Practice is held at 7:00 am at Washington Elementary (near the Wash. Rec. Center) unless stated otherwise.
PHYSICALS: everyone needs a physical every year. You must have a current physical on file at PVHS to attend High Altitude Camp. Get yours done and taken care of now! PHYSICALS ARE BEING HELD ON MONDAY MAY 8TH, AT PVHS (6p-7:30p) – COST IS $20 (pay at PVHS finance office) - Paperwork can be picked up at PVHS or UHSAA website.
REGISTERMYATHLETE.COM – registration can be found online at registermyathlete.com – please make an account and register ASAP (usually opens to new registration after June 1st).
PVXC blog – pvxc.blogspot.com is the place to go for the best, most current information on PVXC. Please bookmark it and visit it often.
SUMMER RUNNING CLUB – This year is our 13th annual PVXC Summer Running Club. This year we will be holding the Club on TUESDAYS at 8:30 am at Washington Elem. We want/need all of you there to help run the Club. You will be assigned a group to work with throughout the summer – the kids love working with the high schoolers and you become great mentors for them – please plan on being there!
Team Camp – We will be having our team summer camp up at Jacob Lake (near the Grand Canyon)
Dates: July 17 (Mon) – 20 (Thurs)
Camp Info: Our camp will be focused on training, distance running classes, and team building at an altitude of 8000+ ft. We will be in a group campsite with running tap water, a restroom, Jacob Lake store nearby, and access to a lot of cool running trails!
Cost: $90/person – This includes campsite fee, transportation (we will need help with transportation from parents – up and back), main meals (not snacks and junk), and a camp t-shirt. This money is due June 26th (and will be paid through our Pine View Cross Country Club - NOT THE High School, so don’t pay to the office) – Depending on our numbers, we may select the 50 athletes who will come to camp (based on summer attendance and effort).
You don’t have to come to the camp – but everyone loves the experience (so try your best to work it into schedules for the summer and finances).
Volunteers: We need some parents to drive up on Mon. mid-morning and back on Thursday mid-morning. Or even some who may want to stay for all/part of the time with the team. If you think you could help, let me know ASAP. <pineviewxc@gmail.com>
Grades – your 4th quarter grades determine your eligibility… make sure they are good!
Keep in touch and up-to-date with important info by following us on twitter and Instagram @pvxctrack and receive our texts by using the class code @xcchamps at remind.com or text the code to 81010
Costs:
- Participation Fee - $100 (charged by Washington Co. School Dist. for everyone participating in sports; Please pay at PVHS finance office)
- Uniform – everyone will have their own uniform – to keep – cost is an estimated $35 for the top and $35 for the shorts.
- Hotel Fee - $25/night. Each overnight meet we attend will have a $25 hotel fee (per night).
- Shoes - this is a personal cost - there is one piece of equipment you need to run, good shoes. Please go to a specialty running store and get fitted for shoes that fit your foot type. You will probably need 2-3 pairs throughout the season. Good running shoes cost about $100-$150, but you can find sales sometimes to help out with cost. But please don’t skimp on junky, cheap shoes or think you can get away with just one pair for the whole season. That’s when injuries happen.
Other races/trips - Our PVXC Club is planning on taking the Varsity to Phoenix for the Nike SW Regionals (in late Nov.) and the whole club to Footlocker West Regionals in California (in the first week of Dec.). Of course, all these will take money, so fundraising can help you pay for all of it.
WE WILL HAVE A SPIRIT PACK ORDER FORM PUT TOGETHER AND GIVEN OUT DURING SUMMER PRACTICE TO PLACE AN ORDER FOR UNIFORMS AND OTHER (OPTIONAL) GEAR
Fundraiser – All Our fundraising is totally optional and through our club not the HS team. That way the money goes toward each individual athlete. We have a run-a-thon that athletes can get sponsors for and our car wash (both in the summer). These are great ways to raise some money to help pay for fees, hotels, camps, even uniforms and shoes.
SEE YOU JUNE 5th AT 7:00 AM
AT WASHINGTON ELEMENTARY
And as always… spread the word and let’s get a bunch more people.
(Goal numbers for finishing the season 30 girls and 40 boys!)

We had a tremendous XC season. Thanks so much to all of you who helped in any way: parents, PV, bus drivers, our Youngsters crew (especially Coach Martha), coaches, and most of all - you athletes; thank you for letting us coach you and for being an amazing part of our lives.
Two Week Break: for your break, remember, 2 weeks. Be active during this time: lift, walk, bike, yoga, whatever. No running the first week. If you feel ready to, during the second week, you can do a few 20 minute runs.
When Break is Over: Those who have already hit their break and are ready to get back running, you can come out to the track after school and we'll organize some runs together to get going. Everyone else, we will start up together on December 19th. THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO INVITE FREINDS AND OTHERS OUT TO JOIN US! We will all be starting new, and so it isn't as scary for someone to start up when we are all going a bit shorter. So I challenge everyone of you to get 1 new person out... Sophomores and Freshmen - you have to get 2 new people out! You are the heart of our future team; we need more 9th and 10th graders.
Running Over the Holiday Break: It is real important to run over the break. Runs will be posted at pvtrack.blogspot. This time is like the summer is to XC. Maybe you might miss a day or have to change the planned run because you're out of town or something, but remember... CONSISTENCY IS KEY! When we get back from the break, we will be doing a time trial to help set our workout paces - so you want to be in decent shape by doing the prescribed runs, strides, and post-run work.
Nike Southwest: We had a great club trip down to Phoenix for Nike. A lot of great racing, fun times on the bus, and just being around our teammates. Check out the results here.
Champs West: About 20 athletes headed down to Southern California for the Champs West Regional. It was a great race, and probably the best PV has ever done down there as a whole. With about half our team, we had 13 or so medalists and Brook and Trey were some of our highest placing individuals in program history.
NOW IT'S TRACK TIME: So we've brought up the idea of the importance of running track. It really is a big deal to connect the seasons. So hopefully everyone decides to join us and bring some friends. Those who are in a winter sport, try to keep getting in a little run here and there just to keep the body connected to the skills of running (but hopefully your sport is keeping you in decent shape and then you can really ramp up the running when your season ends).
As we transition to track, we'll be using the track blog found at the link above. So go there for some winter info.
For some of you this will be your last week with us for a little while; others might have a couple more weeks until the break. So, *REMEMBER, YOU MUST BE AT PRACTICE TO BE ELEGIBLE TO COME ON THE POST SEASON TRIPS*.
Since we are finishing up the season, here's a rundown of what is going on: At the end of the season, we will take a 2 week break - during that break, it is encouraged that you stay active (do SAMS and core, bike, cross train, lift, get outside and do some things) - but during the first week off, NO RUNNING! Let the body heal up and the mind have a break (basically we want you to miss running a bit). During the 2nd off week, continue to keep active, and if you want to throw in a short 20 min run every other day (3 times) go ahead. But if you aren't ready to run yet, don't. Nevertheless, it is important that you're staying active and doing some things during this time. This will all be self/athlete led, no coaches for these two weeks (you need a break from us, and I hear we might need a break from you!). After the two week break, we'll get going again and building back toward track (for those not in a winter sport).
We'll keep this here one more week in case you missed it: A message for parents - As we are maybe starting to think about presents at this time of year, here's a few ideas for the runner in your home: shoes, shoes, and more shoes (the one piece of gear a runner must have is shoes, and now is a great time to get a new pair and double it up as a present!); a watch (a decent gps watch can range from $100 or less to quite a bit more, but really you don't need anything super fancy); recovery aids like foam rollers, rolling sticks, and massage tools; a book about running or sports psychology can be an interesting read.

Race Report: Great job at the Autumn Classic. The girls ran a very strong team race and most were able to find teammates to pack with throughout. Brook led 5 Panthers under 12 minutes with her 11:33 win. She was followed by Kate, Katie, Adri, and Emmalee. Brianna and Alianna set new PRs and Laney was just off hers. While Elena and Bella ran great efforts for their first 3200s on the track. The guys saw a lot of great races throughout the order. The younger guys showed a lot of strength for their first 3200 on the track. And we place 12 boys under 11:00 (while missing a couple top runners). Trey led the way with another spectacular race finishing first in school record fashion with a time of 9:19 (splits were 4:45 and 4:34!). He was followed by Porter, Talmage, and Kyler; then a big group of Keaton, Cane, Jamin, Evan, Kevin, Boz, Parker, Grant, and Gaige. Fast 3200s show the importance of XC strength and mileage to fast track times. Check out athletic.net for results.
Alumni Update: Jess ran at Mountain Regional XC Championships on Friday. She finished as 3rd scorer for Weber and 79th overall. Great season Jessica!

PVXC Thought of the Week: "God gives his shortest shorts to his toughest soldiers."
-Dumbflotrack
What does that have to do with anything? Nothing really! You guys are all just awesome. It has been such a fun year. Athletes: thanks for all your hard work, your commitment to each other and the team, for truly caring about each other, for teaching yourself that you can do difficult things and overcome trials, and for being an inspiration to all of us. Parents: thanks for your support of all this craziness; of course you love you kids and want them to do great, but sometimes it is difficult to see your kids go through tough stuff - the lessons you are letting them learn here in XC are going to help them grow in every aspect of their lives. All of you: you really are awesome!
Last couple weeks before Nike! *REMEMBER, YOU MUST BE AT PRACTICE TO BE ELEGIBLE TO COME WITH US*. We missed a lot of people of Friday morning. That's not good!
A message for parents - As we are maybe starting to think about presents at this time of year, here's a few ideas for the runner in your home: shoes, shoes, and more shoes (the one piece of gear a runner must have is shoes, and now is a great time to get a new pair and double it up as a present!); a watch (a decent gps watch can range from $100 or less to quite a bit more, but really you don't need anything super fancy); recovery aids like foam rollers, rolling sticks, and massage tools; a book about running or sports psychology can be an interesting read.
A message for athletes - SLEEP! Take advantage of the time change to get more sleep. This is a great time to move your bed time earlier. When you start to get tired at your "old" bed time, go to sleep, don't wait until the clock tells you to go to bed. So if I am usually going to bed at around 10:30, now I'll feel tired at 9:30; use it and go to sleep then and start the positive habit of a better sleep time.

PVXC Thought of the Week: "The time when there is no one there to feel sorry for you or to cheer for you is when a player is made."
-Tim Duncan, NBA great
We're basically entering our off-season. Yet we are still running. Why? People always see us running at this time (after State) and wonder why we are still out there. Maybe even some of you (athletes and/or parents) are wondering the same thing. The answer is really pretty simple in two ways: 1) to get better - to be a better runner, you have to run today, tomorrow, the next day. You've got to keep grinding. The physiology of aerobic activities requires you to continually be building (it is much different that a ball sport in that way where you can not do it for a few months and then come back and pick it up pretty quickly; in running, you have to keep building month after month, year after year, and if you miss it is pretty noticeable). 2) we love it! What else do you have to say about that!
Now, during this time (even when we take our two weeks off next month), this is the time when all the foundation for gains and glory is made. So now that our season is over, what are you going to do to become better for the future?
Grateful to be coaches of an amazing team of awesome athletes! Thanks for the great season. It was so fun to see all the growth. For those that are interested, we'll keep running for the next month'ish, so keep looking for updates on here. And remember, those that are headed down to Nike, keep coming out to practice.

Race Report: As always, PVXC really did a great job at State. The Hype Squads were unmatched and the team ran well. The girls took 2nd behind Cedar to take home our 9th straight 1st or 2nd place trophy! Leading the way was Brook who took 3rd. She was followed in the Top 10 by Adri in 8th, Kate 9th, and Katie 10th. Emmalle rounded out our scoring with a 17th place finish. While Ma'a took 23rd and Elle finished at 25th place. The girls had a great season and have proudly continued the tradition of this awesome program. The guys finished 4th which extended our streak of top 5 finishes at State to it's 15th year - the 2nd longest in Utah! We were proud to see Trey run an amazing race and finish as the State Champion in a time of 15:26 (the 5th boy individual State Champ in PV history). Also earning All-State honors were Talmage who finished 16th and Porter with his 18th place finish. They were followed by Bridger in 26th, Kyler 27th, Diego 48th, and Dane 57th. The boys team saw a ton of growth this year and has really set itself up for a some continued success to come.

PVXC Thought of the Week: "An XC team will never be great unless it has that one kid that elevates the whole program by being uncompromising. The all-in, 'no matter what, I'm going to be good and we're going to be good' kid changes the whole face of the program."
-Coach Adam Kedge
I'm pretty sure we've used this quote before - and here we are using it again... this time with the question: who's it going to be now? We've had some great runners and great leaders on this team for the past few years, and although we are lucky to have them around for the post-season and track, the time for others to start stepping up is NOW. So who is it going to be? Hopefully many of you are saying, "Me!" And if we can get a handful of you thinking that, and then acting like it, things are going to keep going in the right direction for PVXC for a long time.
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!

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.
Upcoming Events:
Race -4A State Championships - Tuesday, October 25th, Varsity girls 3:00p, Varsity boys 4:00p; Regional Athletic Complex in SLC, Bus will be leaving Monday at 11:00a - those going out at 10:30a - here is the itinerary, we added a little info about lunch (also remember it will be cold, bring warm stuff). Hype Squads: be ready to bring your A Game! Varsity: let's zoom. Everyone: LET'S GO HAVE SOME FUN!
Ironman Volunteer - Friday and Saturday, October 28th and 29th, please plan on coming to help with the Ironman. We will meet at the Ironman roundabout on Main Street and Tabernacle in St. George at 8:45a. You probably will want to carpool. Both mornings we will be helping from around 9:00a to 1:00p parking the bikes like last year. This is a big fundraiser for our program and we really need everyone to come help (families and friends invited!). If you didn't sign up to help yet, go to https://ironman.volunteerlocal.com/volunteer/?id=59924 and register for the "T2 Bike Handlers" we did the 9:00a-1:00p shift on both Friday and Saturday. Make sure you enter our group name as PVXC.
PVXC Banquet - look for a date and time TBA soon (usually the frist or second week of November).

We've just talked about this a lot lately. No need to stress about all of this; you have tons of people who have you're back and will support you no matter what. If you can truthfully answer that you gave your very best effort for the day, then that is all there is to do. So go give your best... and we'll all be PROUD TO BE PANTHERS!
