Francie Larrieu = HUGE one
Patti Sue Plumer, Polly Plumer
Ceci St. Geme (hey, some Norcal connection there)
Matt Gusto
Rebecca Chamberlain
Oh, and Cory Schubert... amazing races at the state meet back in the 80s
Wait thought of more...
Amber Trotter
Julia Stamps
Sara Bei (or is that too recent since she's still competing as a pro)
Kristen Gordon (17:01 at Woodward among other accomplishments)
Excellent start.
I definitely remember Matt Giusto in high school as we were both in the same league (PAL, not league if you know what I mean.)
He still has one of the fastest times on the crystal springs course and won the Kinney (sponsor then) national cross country championship in 1983 after finishing 3rd in the Western Regional.
How many FL champions has Norcal had (some of the runners were before FL times though)?
Giusto, Sara Bei, Amber Trotter, Marden?
Ummm... ever heard of Jordan Hasay?
I don't think Jordan counts as Northern CA...but she is definitely one of the all time greats...maybe #1.
How about Roy Kissin and Scott Bauhs? The first having run 8:52 for 3200 & 4:16 for 1600. And I think most people know about Scott Bauhs
Young sung Leal, the legend from Arroyo. Another possible invitee. Yosef Ghebray as well, he had a stellar career at James Logan.
And, last, but certainly not least. Why hasn't German Fernandez been mentioned yet? As far as I'm concerned he is the best runner ever to come out of Northern California from High School. Period.
Tsk, tsk Albert... I thought you read Letsrun. And what about Caitlin Chock?
Caitlin Chock is another good one. Definitely had quite a senior year.
Laurynne Chetelat
Jordan Hasay is so Norcal.
Does anyone remember a guy named Ron Larrieu, Francie's oldest bro? I belive he was a state mile champion in the mid 50s, was he not? And an Olympian?
Greg Brock says, Ralph Gamez, Berkeley High School. State Meet 2 mile champ 65,66. Anyone remember Marie Mulder?
