Yreka High Cross Country:Miners depicted in new Kevin Costner movie

http://www.siskiyoudaily.com/article/20150226/SPORTS/150229788/2000/NEWS

At the 1987 California Cross Country state meet (the first one), McFarland won the Division III boys race (only 3 divisions back then) with Robert Louis Stevenson 2nd and Yreka 3rd. You can check out the complete results of that meet at this link. I have not seen the movie yet but it appears the Palo Alto team is the rival which is interesting since Palo Alto didn't qualify for the 1987 meet. Based on a true story indeed.
