Hi all!

Our parent meeting for the season will be this coming Tuesday, September 1st at 6:30pm, via Zoom.

The parent handout has been uploaded to Teampages and is available under Documents . I will also attempt to include it under the “Parent Handout 2020” on the top menu of our page.

The meeting will start with the Corona Athletic Director, Cory Nenaber.

After his part of the meeting has concluded, Coach Crane and Coach Smith will speak, as well as members of our Booster Club!

We hope to see you all online!

GO AZTECS!!!!!

Time Trial, FINALLY!!!!

Here is the information for the CdS XC time trial. It will be 6am, this Saturday at the Warner canal. Athletes will arrive at the time trial location not Campus as we have done in previous years. There is no physical address, so here are the coordinates: 33°20’07.4"N 111°56’33.7"W

If you cut and paste the coordinates into Google Maps, the directions will take you there. All returning Athletes will know where this is.

The time trial will be a 2 mile out and back at the Warner Canal. Coach Smith and I are not using these times to decide who is on Varsity. Varsity will be determined after our 1st meet at the Chandler Invitational. The format of the Chandler Invite is: athletes run against their own class.

News for the Girls: The Girls will be off this coming Thursday, 8/27, no practice. Sleep in, rest up! Girls on Friday are to run on their own.

Let me know if you need anything.

GO AZTECS!!!!

Good morning,

I had a chance to email Angelica Rivera, the athletic secretary at Corona. Here is some important information for Parents and Athletes regarding www.registermyathlete.com:

Good Morning Coach,

Athletes can use last year’s physicals. The 2019-2020 physical are accepted as long as the Athlete did not sustain a concussion since obtaining the physical. Athletes will just need to upload it into this year’s account. All fall athletes need a physical. Returning athletes can use their 19-20 physical (but they do need to upload it) and incoming freshman, transfers, or new athletes will need to get a 20-21 physical.

I hope this clears any confusion, Coach Crane

Hello Aztecs!

Here is the information for the official start to our 2020 CdS XC season.

We will be practicing at 5:45am Monday through Thursday starting this Monday, the 24th! Athletes are expected to run on their own on Friday. We will have our long run on Saturday morning at 6:00am. Athletes are off on Sunday.

Athletes: our workout days will still be on Tuesday and Thursday at 5:45a, just like we have been doing the past few weeks.

From this point forward all Athletes are expected to attend all practices. Athletes need communicate to head coaches if they will be missing practice as soon as possible. A 24 hour notice prior to a missed practice is preferred.

Without exception all athletes MUST complete and turn in/upload all the necessary paperwork to www.registermyathlete.com by Monday’s practice. ALSO, for this season ALL Althetes must complete an opioid training on aiaonline.org. Here is the link: https://academy.azpreps365.com/. Associated with the opioid course is the brainbook concussion course. All freshmen and new athletes must complete this. If returning athletes remember their username and pass for https://academy.azpreps365.com/, they will not be required to retake the brainbook concussion course.

All athletes MUST be registered and cleared on www.registermyathlete.com AND upload the AIA opioid/brainbook completion certificate to www.registermyathlete.com by Monday at 5:45am or they WILL NOT be allowed to practice.

Please do not wait until the last second to do this.

If you need help with www.registermyathlete.com, please email Angelica Rivera (the CdS Athletic Secretary) at arivera@tuhsd.k12.az.us if you have any issues between now and Monday.

GO AZTECS!!!

Hello Aztecs, now that online learning is solidified for Tempe Union and Mesa Public Schools (where I teach) TAC and I are changing the practice schedule.

FIRST: We will now be practicing on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 5:45am. We apologize for another change, but as you now, things are fluid in all Arizona schools at this time.

The Athletes will be released from practice as close to 7am as possible, so they can get home and log onto their 1st period class.

All Athletes are expected to be at practice at 5:45am SHARP! We will not be waiting for stragglers as time will be limited.

August 24th is the official start to our season. We will communicate what the practice schedule will look like for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Saturday morning practices will remain the same at 6am.

SECOND: We heard GREAT news for 2020! As of right now, we are going to have a XC season! Obviously this can change if the district shuts down Fall Sports due to Covid. Since this announcement was made a few days ago, our schedule is yet to be determined.

LAST: Please remember to log on to www.registermyathlete.com to get your childs information moved from 2019-2020 to 2020-2021. As a reminder, ONLY incoming Freshmen AND students who are new to TUHSD are required to get a physical for the 2020 XC season.

Please let TAC or I know if you have any questions.

GO AZTECS!!!!
