NorCal Cross Country All-Decade Teams (2010-2018)

Looking to update this list. Who is missing from 2019 that should be included?

====================

I posted this last year in January. Please feel free to comment on runners that you feel deserve to be added or moved up on either list. Who worked their way onto the team by this year's performance?
====================
With one more year left in this decade, here are my picks for the all-decade (minus one year) team. I ranked the runners below based on what they accomplished in cross country only.  Feel free to put your own list in the comment section below.

This is the 65th year that this team has been selected and you can find the team members at this link:
