SECTIONS AND AREA REPRESENTED IN THE HONOR TEAM: For the first time in the history of the All Northern California Cross Country selections, it was decided to include all of the San Joaquin section and include Merced in the selection area. Over 100 athletes were given careful consideration in a geographical region that includes schools from the Oregon border in the North stade to Merced in the south. The team was composed of athletes from six sections: North Coast, Northern, San Joaquin, Central Coast, San Francisco and Oakland. REPEATERS FROM LAST YEARS TEAM: Dan Gruber, Carl Cattarin, Mike Dayton (designated by *). Merced's Dave Taylor would have made last years first team selections, but was not included because of prior ruling in not picking athletes south of Modesto.
