The MSTCA Cup concludes the 2020 Covid adjusted Cross Country Season

The MSTCA will offer our final meet of the season on Saturday, November 21!

The Frank Mooney X-C Invitational another huge success!!!

What’s better than one COVID-19 friendly Cross Country Meet? Two! The MSTCA is proud to announce the Frank Mooney Coaches Invitational will be held at the Mark Coogan Cross Country Course at Highland Park in Attleboro on Sunday November 1st.

What a day. Wow. I just wanted to sincerely thank all of you for making today's Frank Kelley Invitational not only a success, but truly one for the ages. I can honestly say that if it weren't for each and every one of you, what we witnessed today could never have happened.

Ultimately, we respect the decision made by the WDC administration, just as we respect the previous decision the Cape Cod Fairgrounds administration made to close their facility (site of our Twilight Invitational) this fall.

The MSTCA is happy to announce its first meet of the season will take place at Highland Park in Attleboro on Sunday, October 18th.

New Membership Guidelines for 2020-21 Announced!

The COVID-19 pandemic has uprooted our sense of normalcy and left us with many unanswered questions. As schools look to start back up, districts are moving to hybrid or fully remote models while simultaneously seeking out extra-curricular opportunities for their student-athletes.

Every school district/program should consult with their local health department to determine which risk level to start this program safely. Continued consultation with local health department should be used to determine when progression to the next risk level can be initiated.

The MSTCA is happy to announce the names of the student-athletes who have been awarded $100 Camperships for the summer of 2020. Congratulations to all of the winners!

I am so blessed. I have been given a perspective of appreciation that I never, ever thought I would be afforded. I don’t feel guilty. I don’t feel sorry. I don’t feel angry. I don’t feel “why me?” (I do feel loopy sometimes because of the drugs though that’s for sure).

My hope is that if we work together to share and promote Kent's fundraiser, we can allow Kent and Kaylene to focus on health and family during this particularly challenging time.

It is with heavy heart we contact our members today. As we are sure most of you have already heard, Governor Baker, with the assistance of the Mass DOE, Mass Teacher's Association, the Mass Association of School Superintendents, and many other relative educational boards, made the decision to stick with Remote Learning throughout the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year.

Rest assured coaches, in the wake of the recent developments from the MIAA Board of Directors Meeting, we have multiple contingency plans in place for whatever the ultimate outcome of this season will be.

Begin spring season no earlier than May 4, 2020 and have completion of regular season and tournament games by June 27, 2020 with consideration of June 28, 2020 for weather and facility needs.

Here is a quick reference guide to help navigate our new MSTCA home.

We all watched as cool running disappeared off the internet and realized that so much history vanished with it. I believe we have an incredible opportunity to really develop how we display our past with this Records and Champions Section.

We hope you enjoy the new site and we believe the changes we have made will be a valuable resource to our coaching community. We do realize that change can be difficult, as we all have been navigating the Old site for many years and are very familiar with it.
