CROSS COUNTRY ATHLETE OF THE YEAR: MIKE RYAN (Wilcox)
Mike Ryan is making track and cross country history at the tender age of
16. Only a junior, Mike has twice won the NCS cross country crown and is
undefeated in competition this year. Mike is a repeater from last years
team and is also a repeater for athlete of the year honors. Mike is at
his best when challenged by tough competition. He always comes through
when the pressure is on. Ryan is the best distance runner ever developed
in Northern California.
OUTSTANDING SENIOR ATHLETE: RICH KAY (Miramonte)
Rich always does well in competition and is a consistant runner who came
along very strong at the end of the season. Rich was selected as the
outstanding Junior runner on last year's all Northern California team.
OUTSTANDING SOPHOMORE ATHLETE: RALPH GAMEZ (Foothill of Hayward)
Ralph has the fastest 2 mile time ever made by a 15 year old. Ralph
was the surprise of the season, as he literally came out of nowhere to
upset many better known athletes. Ralph owns victories over every
opponent on the team with the exception of Ryan.
