I was probably like 7-8 years old, so I think that does officially make you old now! haha! I'm glad we didn't discover this in Mammoth or we never would have stopped talking! Looks like we are heading to Big Bear this year, but we will probably go back to Mammoth the following year. Congrats on all of your success, keep up the amazing job!<br /><br />DougCoach Solesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-69397370719839466022012-04-15T22:18:38.788-07:002012-04-15T22:18:38.788-07:00Hello everyone, wanted to give a list of where we ...Hello everyone, wanted to give a list of where we have had athletes sign and compete. Nearly all of the girls that have run for us at Great Oak either graduated after running for 4 years, or are still currently competing for their school. Our boys have just gotten good enough to have guys that are being recruited instead of walking on and barely making the team so the current group should be able to run in college should they choose to do so.<br /><br />Student Name - Year Grad - School - Event Group<br />Lauren Campfield - 2007- Dartmouth - Distances<br />Stephan May - 2007 - RCC - Distances<br />Chris Lawson - 2007 - Long Beach St. - Hurdles<br />Lee Darling - 2007 - UC Irvine - Hurdles<br />TJ Emery - 2007 - Cal Berkley - Football<br />Abbey Gallaher - 2008 - UC Davis - Distances<br />Breeanca Fleming - 2008 - UC Irvine - Sprints<br />Michael Wysocki - 2008 -UCSB - Distances<br />Alli Gallaher - 2008 - Cal Berkley - DNR<br />Jessica Barnard- 2008 - Long Beach St. - Distances<br />Alyssa Neimeyer- 2008 - Cal Baptist - Distances<br />Leah Johnson - 2008 - Cal Baptist Univ. - Distances<br />Jabin Sambrano - 2008 - Montana - Football<br />Ryan Houghton - 2008 - Biola University - Distances<br />Heather Wilson - 2009 - Cal Poly SLO - Distances<br />Richard Rogers - 2009 - Guilford College (NC) - Distances<br />Bree Anderson - 2009 - Soka University - Sprints<br />Chris Vordahl - 2009 - Cal Poly Pomona - Distances<br />Katie Barrese - 2009 - Florida Southern (FL) (transfer to) University of La Verne - Distances<br />Monique Belmudes - 2009 - Clayton State (GA) - Distances<br />Kyle Dickerson - 2009 - Idaho State (ID) - Distances<br />Nick Childers - 2009 - Niagara University (NY) - Distances<br />Will Fraser - 2009 - Idaho State (ID) - Distances<br />Gerard Glass - 2009 - RCC - Sprints<br />Blanca Lopez - 2009 - Clayton State (GA) - Distances<br />Aaron Bauer - 2009 - Augustana College (SD) - Distances<br />Maxx Mills - 2009 - RCC - Sprints<br />Sean Stone - 2009 - RCC - Pole Vault<br />Jon Kancilia - 2009 - Point Loma - Hurdles<br />Bree Foster - 2009 - University of Hawaii (HI) - Pole Vault<br />Samantha Morabe - 2010 - University of Nebraska (NE) - Distances<br />Kaity Malloy - 2010 - UCSD - Distances<br />Alec Slamal - 2010 - Sac State (transfer to) Florida Southern (FL) - Distances<br />Tyler Rackleff - 2010 - Boise State - Distances<br />Ryan Rigali - 2010 - Tulane (LA) - Distances<br />Jordan Storkersen - 2010 - RCC - Distances<br />Skyler Pray - 2010 - RCC - Throws<br />Bubba Luna - 2010 - Hawaii - Football<br />Karson Fronk - 2011 - BYU (UT) - Distances<br />Kyle Strawn - 2011 - CSUSB - Throws<br />Katie Johnson - 2011 - Cornell (NY) - Distances<br />Anna Johnson - 2011 - Cornell (NY) - Distances<br />Jessica HIlton - 2011 - BYU (UT) - Distances<br />Alia Bales - 2011 - UCSD - Distances<br />Shannon Emery - 2011 - Mesa State University (CO) - Distances<br />Megan McClain - 2011 - Lipscomb University (TN) - Distances<br />Brandon Messerly - 2012 - Kansas (KS) - Distances<br />Pauline Mandel - 2012 - Colorado State (CO) - Distances<br />Khala Taylor - 2012 - UC Berkley - Softball/Indoor Track Sprints<br />Carly Bauer - 2012 - Augustana (SD) - Distances<br />Taylor Maggiacomo - 2012 - Carnegie Mellon University (PA) - Distances<br />Eddie Carrillo - 2012 - UCSD - Distances<br />Ronke Odubela - 2012 - UCSD - Sprints<br />Brenden Emery - 2012 - Utah Valley University - Distances<br />Duane Solomon - 2012 - Verbal UCLA - Hurdles/Sprints<br />Michael Hewitt - 2012 - Undecided - Distances<br />Chris Milan - 2012 - Undecided - Sprints<br />Kevin Chamberlain - 2012 - Undecided - DistancesCoach Soleshttp://gohs.tvusd.k12.ca.us/tracknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-51034660158496779022012-04-15T20:06:43.116-07:002012-04-15T20:06:43.116-07:00I'd be curious to see a list of Great Oak alum...I'd be curious to see a list of Great Oak alum competing at the D1 level.

It's survival of the fittest, work them hard the elite rise to the top. If a few get injured no worries.
