2010-2019 StanCo All-Decade Distance Team

My daughter began HS XC in 2009, and with that my interest in HS distance running was renewed. When she moved on to college I continued covering the sport through this blog and Facebook. With each passing year, I have expanded my involvement. With the recent turning of the calendar and decade, I began thinking about a StanCo All-Decade team. The initial thought was for a XC team. Gradually the idea morphed to an All-Decade "Distance" team that would merge XC and track performances. The next question was where to draw the line of the "decade?" That may sound like a stupid notion; but it turned out to be a critical distinction in who could, and who could not be on the team. This became really a huge research project. My wife thinks I spent over 100 hours on this. That may be a "slight" over estimate.

So here are the final criteria agreed upon by ME and ME. Okay, I did run it by Hughson's Coach Joel Bernard in that he has provided me valuable feedback in the past (and present).

1. The runners must have participated in both XC and track to qualify.
2. The runners must have graduated between 2010 and 2019--so current AMAZING runners such as Madison Kackley would not qualify for this team. She'll have to wait for the next all-decade team.
3. It was based strongly on TRACK in that XC courses differ from one another.
4. It was strongly based on meeting the marks I currently use for the All-StanCo Track Team (girls: 800-sub 2:20; 1600-sub 5:25; 3200-sub 12:00   boys: 800-sub 2:00; 1600-sub 4:30; 3200-sub 10:00).
5. To make the decade team all runners had to have met these (#4) marks at least TWO different years.

There were 23 ladies who met at least one of the marks one time. There were 28 men. Clearly that was far too many. Meeting the marks more than one year shows staying power.

The final team would include the twelve girls and eleven boys who met the marks more than once. 
Since 2010 graduates qualify you'll see this list dips back to 2008 and 2009. As I said, it  DOES NOT include the two boys (Pitman's Jayson Martin and Turlock's Eric Hernandez) and four girls (Gregori's Madison Kackley, Hughson's Elizette Ysais, and Oakdale's Kayden Legan and Haleigh Humble) who have met the marks but not yet graduated. We'll all have to wait 10 additional years to see how their legacies (and times) stack up against the future distance stars.

I'll start with the ladies in alphabetical order...

Did you read this far? All I can say is that is a lot of stats. There is a strong possibility that I made a mistake somewhere in there. I do strive for perfection, so please let me know, and I will do my best to correct the error. I am looking forward to another 10 years of StanCo Distance covering our local HS runners and producing a similar list in 2030.

Here is a VIDEO of all of the 2010-2019 StanCo All Decade Team members
