Marin has had many excellent prep runners who have gone on to compete at the collegiate level. Three former Marin prep runners; Fred Huxham, John Lawson and Julia Maxwell, will be racing at the 2015 Division l NCAA Cross Country Championships on Saturday Nov. 21 in Kentucky. The Men and Women Cross Country Championships were held separately until 1981, before this time the Women competed in the AIAW and the men in the NCAA.

Ran Marin 
Hi,
Thanks for your information about Marin runners at the NCAA D1 XC champs. Please add George Stewart’s 33rd/307 in 1970. George ran for Tam, COM and Oklahoma State. Mike Killeen(Redwood ’73) competed for Humboldt in the 1976 D3 champs and finished 83/341 and helped his team to second place. Bryan Tracy (Redwood ’73) ran for Cal Poly SLO in the ’75 D2 meet. Pete Sweeney (Redwood ’73, yeah that’s me) was 33rd in D2 for UC Davis in ’74 and 59th in ’75. Killeen, Tracy, Ned Overend, Jan-Eric Moller, Pete Demarais, Ed Phelps and I were on the ’72 Redwood team that won the whole NCS,(whole meaning no divisions, just a single race). Redwood also won the girls championship that day. That was the first time that a single school won both the boys and girls. I believe that it was the first time that any Marin school had ever won the NCS. At the time there was no state meet. We also finished third that year in the national postal three mile.
Thank you SO much for taking the time to send in these results. See updated post for the inclusion.
