When my daughter began running in 2008 I quickly realized that finding race information and results for local XC meets was difficult at best. As a past runner myself, I knew first hand how hard XC runners worked. I also knew that they deserved more recognition than the local media was giving them. Fortunately I stumbled across this blog. It was created by Ruben Esparza (Runnin Ruben) and was a revelation to me. I soon became more enmeshed in the process of taking photos and posting results. At the end of each season The Bee recognizes only one male and one female XC runner (usually not even from Stanislaus County). My mission then expanded to create an All StanCo team at the end of each season. Runnin Ruben had posted an all-county team at the end on a couple of seasons, but it hadn't been consistent from year to year. I decided that I would recognize ten males and ten females on this All StanCo Team. To make it official I bought patches to give to the team members. I perceive that the selections might sometimes be mildly controversial...I can only assure you that I take the process very seriously, and I am open to your suggestions. I feel honored to have written about and photographed some outstanding athletes.
