SELECTION OF THE TEAM:
The All Northern California Cross Country Honor Team has been sponsored by the
Northern California Track & Field Association since 1962 and by Citizens Savings for the past decade.
Unnofficial selections have been made retroactive back to 1953.

The Selection Committee for this year's team was composed of: Plato Yanicks (Menlo-Atherton) chairman;
Jack Marden (Mission SJ); Bob Wall (Lassen); Terry Ward (St Ignatius); Bruce
Makinson (Nova); Marty Procaccio (Bellarmine); John Coombes (Hollister); Matt
Sommer (Independence); Doug Johnson (Peteluma); Bud Hartel (Anderson); Keith
Conning (Editor NCRR); Don Yosney (reporter).  Combined coaches from each section
had one vote per section.  All coaches were invited to attend.

The area represented was the largest in the history of the selections.  The Central
Section was included for the first time in our selection area making it seven out of 10
sections and as far South as Bakersfield.

Selection Criteria:  Performance throughout the entire season was considered.  Major
emphasis was given to placing in the Nor Cal and Section meets.  Results in Region,
League, Postal, and Invitational meets were studied.  Injury and illness were considered.
The fact that the NCS had 3 major meets in 8 days was also a factor in the selections.

AWARDS: Certificates will be mailed to members of both the boys and girls teams
from Citizens Savings.
