SELECTION OF THE TEAM:
The All Northern California Cross Country Honor Team is sponsored
annually by Northern California Track & Field Association.  The selection committee for
this years team was composed of: Plato Yanicks (Menlo-Atherton) chairman: Terry
Ward (St Ignatius): Doug Johnson (Petaluma): Homer Latimer (Leigh): Bill Thompson
(Alameda): Lou Bufkin (Washington-Fremont): Ken Thomas (Soquel): Bob McGure (Pleasant Hill).

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.

RELEASE DATE FOR PRESS: Tuesday, Dec 12 1972

SYMBOLS: L = Large school division; M = Medium school division; S = Small school division

NOTE: Mitch Kingery, this year's outstanding soph, was selected as outstanding frosh last year.

A shoulder patch emblem will be mailed to each first team member at a later date.
These awards are made possible by the financial contribution of the N.C.T.F.A.
