Looking for Sponsors!
We are currently looking for businesses to sponsor our team this year. There are many levels ranging from $150 to $1000. Sponsors receive advertising on our camp and Nike Cross t-shirts, as well as our large banner that hangs on our tent. They also get exposure through our website, Facebook page and parent handouts. If you know of a business that might be willing to sponsor our team, please pass along the attached sponsor letter. We do not have a VP of Fundraising this year, so we would love some help in this area from our athletes and parents. Thank you!

Summer Saturday workouts will rotate between South Mountain, Papago Park and Tumbleweed Park. The first Saturday workout (tomorrow) will be at South Mountain, Pima Canyon Trailhead (near the Arizona Grand Resort). Meet at the ramada near the trailhead at 5:30am.

During the month of June we will most likely be releasing athletes early. The further we get into preseason, the longer we run, so this may increase to the full release time.

Every Friday and Sunday we will not meet, however athletes are expected to get mileage in on their own.
Training this preseason will consist of:
1. Gradual increase of mileage as preseason progresses.
2. Strength training which will be aimed at increasing core and overall strength.
3. Cross Country specific speed and endurance workouts to help prepare athletes for the 2019 season.

The Coaches’ Motto for our team this season is Commitment. We expect all athletes to be committed to our summer preseason Cross Country program.

GO AZTECS!!!!
