The All Northern California Cross Country Team is sponsored annually by the Northern
California Track & Field Association and by Citizens Savings. Awards will be given
to first team members (scrolls & 'T' shirts). The first All Northern California team to be
selected was back in 1962. Unofficial selections have been made retroactive to 1953.
The selection committee for the 1977 team was composed of: Pato Yanicks (M-A),
Chairman; Ken Thomas (Soquel); Terry Ward (St Ignatius); Bill Thompson (Alameda);
Bob Woods (Camden); Keith Conning (NorCal Running Review).
The major criteria for selecting the team were: place in section, region and league
meets. Postal times, invitational results, place in head-to-head competition helped
to influence the final voting.
The area represented by the 1977 team included consideration of athletes from six sections of the
CIF: North, North Coast, Central Coast, San Joaquin, SF & Oakland. The geographical boundaries
of these sections went as far as the Oregon border (North) to Merced (South).
COMMENTS: There were five repeaters from last year's first team selections: (Berry, Brewer,
Holladay, Love, and Strangio). In general it was a down year for cross-country in the Bay
Area and parts of Northern California. No truly dominant individual graces this year's team,
although Dave Coulman had an undefeated year and was selected as our "Runner of the Year".
Skyline HS placed 3 athletes on the first team, something that hasn't been done for years.
Skyline HS proved to be the best H.S. team in Northern California when they beat Mission
SJ in a classic meet earlier in the season. There were no Second Team selections.

COMMENTS: This team represents the second time that a selection has been made honoring
the outsanding girl runners in Northern California. No second team selections were made.
Chico dominated the team with an unprecedented 3 selections. The calibur of athlete was
such improved over last season, as all the sections have championship participation
available for girls. There was a very close battle for the Girl Runner of the Year. Irene
Crowley edged Laurie Crisp of Downey at a 2.0 postal meeting in there only head-to-head
meeting of the year by the slimmest of margins. That victory was enough to give Irene
Crowley the nod for "Runner of the Year" according to team selectors.
