Track Magazine presents, as a service to interested college coaches, the most outstanding student athletes from the San Diego Section. Included are junior and senior class athletes who have track and field marks good enough to make the Track Magazine honor roll and who also have grade point averages above 3.0.Grade point averages are obtained from San Diego Union-Tribune's All-Academic listings. Athletes are listed alphabetically, by event. Students indicated as juniors (11) will be incoming seniors for the fall 1998 school year. Those indicated as seniors (12) graduated in the summer of 1998. Although we have categorized the athletes by event many have excellent marks in more than one category so all  marks an athlete has on this site in any category are listed.
