Track Camp
Pre-season Track Camp begins this coming Monday, December 3rd and runs through January 30th (Monday, Tuesday & Thursday after school). This is a great way to get a head start on the upcoming season. The cost is $50 and you can register and pay through the Corona website. Go to www.tempeunion.org/coronadelsol, click on “Athletics” and “Camps/Clinics”.

Thank You!
We’d like to give one final thank you to all of our Coaches, Volunteers, Parents and Sponsors. We appreciate all the support you gave to our runners this season! Congratulations to our athletes on their hard work and accomplishments this season!

Booster Club Members
We are still looking for parents to fill our open board positions. The open positions are Secretary (sends out weekly emails during the season and takes notes at meetings) and VP of Fundraising (sets up restaurant nights, helps communicate with sponsors). We would love to have these people in place well ahead of the season. We also need a camp committee to help plan for the summer. You can contact Kristi Johnson at kristijohn@hotmail.com if you are interested. Please consider getting involved and supporting the team!

No-Cost Fundraise Throughout the Year!
As the holidays approach, it is the optimal time to sign up for Benefit Mobile. You can make your purchases with mobile gift cards delivered to your phone in seconds and earn money for Corona Cross Country at the same time. We earn anywhere from 1 – 20% back on your purchase! It costs you nothing but a few minutes of your time to set it up. Select from hundreds of retailers like Amazon, Home Depot, Lowes, Target and Walmart just to name a few. One supporter of Corona XC has earned over $230 in the past 2 years with just a few purchases a month! Please take a few moments to go to www.benefit-mobile.com to see what it’s all about, or simply download the Benefit Mobile app to get started. Corona Cross Country Boosters Club is listed as a beneficiary on the Non-Profit list.

Other ways to no-cost fundraise throughout the year are by linking your Fry’s card or using Amazon Smile. For more information, visit our No-Cost Fundraising section on the team website. Happy shopping!

Have a safe and joyful holiday season!

Corona Cross Country Boosters Club

Attention cross country athletes and parents. All uniforms must be turned into Alexis Samuels, our equipment manager, by this Friday November 16th. Please make sure you do so. Great season this year! Thanks!

Congratulations to all the athletes who competed at the State Meet on Saturday. You all raced hard and gave it your all. You should be proud!

End of Season Banquet
The banquet is this Thursday at 6pm in the Corona cafeteria. We can still use some volunteers to help with set up, serving, clean up. The sign up link is https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c044eaea723a46-donations2. Thank you to those of you who have volunteered already!

Nike Cross on Saturday
The Nike Cross Meet is on Saturday morning at the Grande Sports Complex in Casa Grande. THERE IS NO BUS – ATHLETES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING THEIR OWN RIDE TO AND FROM THE MEET. If an athlete needs a ride, there are generally opportunities to carpool. The girls run at either 8:51 or 9:03. The boys run at 9:51 or 10:03.

Most athletes already picked up their race singlet and t-shirts at practice last week. If you did not receive yours, they will be available for pickup at the banquet. Remember that you must have your race waiver signed, scanned and emailed back to Nike before the race. The hard copy goes to Coach Smith (TAC). If you do not have a waiver, they are available on the meet website, http://nxrsw.runnerspace.com/eprofile.php?event_id=302&title_id=214&do=title&pg=1&folder_id=269&page_id=484.

Hot Chocolate Race Volunteering
We still need 19 volunteers by next Monday or we do not fulfill our commitment. This has been a team tradition for several years and we have always been able to provide the 50 volunteers necessary. We earn $500 for the team for our time, which helps pays for t-shirts or snacks/beverages for the athletes. We would hate to lose this source of income. Please consider volunteering a few short hours of your time at this fun event (we are generally done by 9:30). You get a great sweatshirt for volunteering and we will feed you too! Friends and family are welcome to help. If you have questions, please contact Kristi at kristijohn@hotmail.com. The link to sign up is: https://ramraces.enmotive.com/events/volunteer/2018-hot-chocolate-15k-5k-scottsdale/job:5baba131-b330-4c17-b87e-19c45206f5f9.

See you at the banquet!

We are in need of volunteers to set up, serve food and clean up at our banquet on Thursday. We can also use some more dessert donations. If you are able to help out, please go to https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c044eaea723a46-donations2 to sign up. Thank you for your support!

We are also having our annual “Picture Party” on Sunday where we assemble the decorations and senior gifts for the banquet. We will meet at 1pm at Vicki Montana’s house. We would love to have some new faces join us! For information or directions, contact Kristi at kristijohn@hotmail.com.

Good luck to our girls and boys running in the State Meet tomorrow afternoon. The girls run at 12:45pm and the boys run at 1:45pm. For more information, go to http://aiaonline.org/files/16368/2018-aia-state-cross-country-tournament-guide.pdf. State Meet info starts on page 10.
