All State - 1983
THE 1983 ALL STATE BOYS
CROSS COUNTRY TEAM
By Keith Conning
Doug Speck ranked the Southern and Los Angeles Sections. Steve Fagundes ranked the
Sac-Joaquin Section. Keith Conning ranked Northern California and did the overall California
ranking. It was very difficult selecting the All-California team this year. In the future I am
thinking of basing the selection on the Kinney Western Regional meet. There is very little
competition between athletes in the north and south. In many cases the Fresno meet is
the first time the athletes meet each other. The NCAA All-America team is based on the
finish at the national championship. One difficulty that we have is that some preps do not run
in the Kinney meet. This year I have selected seven athletes for the All-California team.
Then fourteen athletes were selected for the Northern and Southern California teams. Doug
Speck based his rankings on the overall season with a particular emphasis on the Sectional
competition. He believes that people should be rewarded for Kinney competition, but not
so terribly penalized if they do not do that well there. Calvin Gaziano (Castro Valley) is the
top ranked cross country runner in California this fall. Ge defeated Matt Guisto (San Mateo),
the national champion, in four of their five meetings. Jesus Guiterrez (Pasadena), who became
the third fastest performer of all-time at Mt SAC, is ranked third. Kristen O'Hara (Palos Verdes),
the Southern 4A champion, was undefeated against Clifornia opponents. Joni Mooney (Vacaville),
the Sac-Joaquin Section champion, also won the team sweepstakes race at Mt SAC. Sally
Pinkner (Davis), the Northern California champion, placed second at the Kinney Western Regional.
