2021 ECR XC: Banquet Awards and Videos
Good Sportsmanship:
This award says it all. This athlete plays by the rules. They make an effort to treat their teammates with respect. They cheer on their other teammates even after they’re tired from their own races.
State Participant:
Going to State is a tremendous award. It is not an easy task to qualify for state. These boys had a setback with having one year cut by COVID’s social distancing mandate which led to inactivity and in some cases having to start from basic training. I can understand that the progress can be slow and frustrating (it makes you want to quit) but being patient and trusting the process was the key to their success. These boys knew they had a chance, took a risk, made themselves vulnerable which is something that is hard to teach; it's the risks you take in life that help you progress. It can be scary, but these boys accepted the challenge and thrived!
Most Improved Athlete Award:
The Most Improved Runner goes to a runner who made the biggest jump from last season to this season OR from the start of the season to the end. Emphasis for this award will be based on performance in meets, BUT an improvement in leadership or form should also be heavily considered.
Guts and Determination:
The Guts and Determination award goes to the athletes who show their commitment and passion for the cross country. These athletes never complain; they give it their all during practices, and meets. They tried their best, even when it was hard or they were injured. These athletes will go through a wall to help the team.
Daily Grind:
The Daily Grind award goes to the athletes who showed up to practice, trained efficiently, and put in the effort to get the job done. They gave 100% effort in every single practice all season.
Senior Award:
Cross Country athletes of the class of 2022:
Team Captains and Team Leaders:
These athletes have shown leadership and possess qualities that others should respect. Some of these qualities are grit, determination, advocating for others, supporting the underclassmen, maintaining a positive attitude, and never losing sight of the bigger picture: to better themselves.
Leadership Award
The Leadership Award typically goes to an upperclassman who shows strong leadership skills. The Leadership Award involves being a role model for the team in training, races, as well as outside of athletics. As a junior or a senior, he/she possesses unwavering character, commitment, and is able to effectively convey his/her knowledge of racing to other runners. This recipient would be a person to advocate for the teams’ best interests.
Rookie of the Year
The Rookie of the Year Award goes to a new member of the team that has made the biggest impact on the team's success. You should consider performance, enthusiasm, and a willingness to be a future leader of the program.
Most Valuable Runner Award
The Most Valuable Runner (MVR) award goes to the runner on the team that made the biggest impact on the program. It does not necessarily have to be based on overall performance, but the way the runner carries himself/herself in her racing should be heavily considered. The Most Valuable Runner takes all practices, workouts, and races very seriously, and leads the team in every way possible.
Royal Award
The Royal Award is a very prestigious award formerly known as the Conquistador Award. The recipient of this award is a respectful and respected team leader, role model, and positive voice for the program in the running community. This award is the highest honor you can receive while running Cross Country for El Camino Real Charter High School. This recipient embodies the virtues of patience, perseverance, excellence, humility, and integrity found in a model student athlete.

Online Athletic Clearance FAQ
What is my Username?
Your username is the email address that you registered with.
Multiple Sports
Once you complete a clearance for one sport and arrive at the Confirmation Message, you will have the option to check off additional sports/activities for the current school year. PLEASE ONLY CHECK OFF SPORTS YOU KNOW YOU WILL PLAY. Don’t just check ones because you are interested in those.
If you decide to participate in an additional sport/activity later on, you can access the multiple sport check boxes by clicking on “Print” under the Confirmation Message of your original Clearance for that specific year.
Physicals
The physical form be downloaded and printed on https://ecrchs.net/pdf/Pre Participation-Physical-Evaluation-Form.pdf. It must be signed and stamped by a doctor or medical professional.
Document Library
This area is meant to store your files so they can be accessed later in the year or perhaps years following. You can either upload your files to the Document Library then apply them to your Clearance on the Physical page OR you can choose/browse for the file on the Physical page and the file will save to the Document Library for future use.
Why haven’t I been cleared?
Your school will review the information you have submitted and Clear or Deny your student for participation. You will receive an email when the student is cleared.
Fall Cross Country 2020
1) Sign up using your school email account at https://tinyurl.com/ECRXC2020
2) Please fill out an emergency card at https://ecrchs.net/pdf/Emergency%20Contact%20Form.pdf
3) You will also need to get a physical done before official practice starts, but given the current status of our nation I have no idea how plausible it will be to get physicals done. Either way you can find that form at https://ecrchs.net/pdf/Emergency%20Contact%20Form.pdf
4) There will also be another athletic form and a transportation waiver that will need to be completed online via FamilyID. That information will be distributed as soon as it is given to us.
● We have no idea what the next six months will look like or when we will be able to start to have official practices, but I do want you all to be prepared when that time comes. Please bear with us as we wait for updates as well. In general ECR seems to be following whatever LAUSD decides to do. So as of right now facilities are closed through the summer. Hopefully things start to turn around and we are allowed to have practice.
Incoming Freshmen or Novice Runner Training Program
