How the All League selections were determined.  Results of the league finals, CCS
Qualifying, CCS finals, National Postal Meets, and important invitationals were
all considered.  Consistency was a major factor in determining the All League
selections.  Each boy considered for the team had all of the above performances
throughly evaluated before being selected.

The SCVAL cross country coaches will select their "All League Teams" next year
following the CCS Finals.  The early date next year was decided upon in order to
indicate to the Northern California Track & Field Association our league's
outstanding runners.  We feel that since we have had the greatest representation
in the last few years, that this would help them in their selections.

There were five boys who were nominated for tenth place on the All-League freshman
team; however, because their running performances were close, to select all five -
the team would lose its selectivity.

There were eleven boys selected to the Varsity All-League team.  Two boys were
nominated for 10th place for the following reasons:  They both had comparable times
in the most important meets of the year, as stated above, and are graduating seniors.
They were both highly recommended by their coaches for their inspiration and
consistant team performances.

The cross country committee for recomending changes on CCS rules have decided that
no fair and justice decision can be made at this time concerning possible cross
country changes; therefore, no recomendations will be made to CCS until the May
CCS meeting.  We will have to have a meeting in late March concerning these matters.

It was voted by the coaches at our meeting that until CCS should change their rules
and regulations that cross country in our league should have the following teams:
1. varsity, 2. sophomores, 3. freshman.  Since only seven (7) runners can compete
in many meets, SCVAL league schools can enter JV divisions when other leagues
compete, as they have such divisions.  In Our league meet the three above classifications
will be run and scored.  Instead of a JV race, all other runners will run in an
unscored open race.  This will allow participation on all levels of
ability and still remain within the thinking of the department heads and CCS rules
and the other leagues in this region.
