Here are my two lists of the top 10 NorCal Track and Field athletes from this past season. This is tougher than you think because you have to compare athletes from different events. I will spare you my criteria because it's not uniform throughout the lists but I tried to judge the whole season as well as how they finished up in the most important meets. Feel free to weigh in on the lists and share what your top 10 lists would look like.

Karsten Wethington should be on the list 2nd at state in TJ 50-7 and a stud long jumper
Good call. I knew I would forget somebody. Unfortunately for Karsten he was overshadowed by Nate but he is definitely one of the top athletes and he is added to the list.
What an outstanding grouping of talented youth athletes. When all are placed together you can see a bright hope for all of US track and field!
