If you know of a mark to be added to the list I will need some way to verify the mark.
Web site, newspaper clipping, etc.

What is the Redwood Empire?
What I am calling the Redwood Empire includes of the three counties, (Sonoma, Lake & Mendocino), north of San Francisco.
Also included are St. Helena & Calistoga H.S. athletes who have competed in the Coastal Mountain conference.
The 2000 census placed the total population of these three counties at 603,188. In comparison San Francisco is 776,733 and the city of Los Angeles is 3,694,820.

Jerry Siebert
US ranked #1 1960, 61, 62 & 64, 1964 Olympics 6th 800m, 64′ & ’62 National Champion
In 1958 Jerry Siebert ran on a Cal Berkeley relay team that broke the world record for 4x880y.
In 1960 he again ran on a world-record setting 4x880y relay team.
Competed in the 1960 Summer Olympics and in the 1964 Summer Olympics.
1960 800m Olympic trials
Fittingly, Saturday’s 800 heats are won by AAU champ Jerry Siebert and NCAA champ Morgan Groth. The rest of the field for Sunday’s final includes Jim Dupree, Tom Farrell, Barry Sugden, Fran Smith, Ted Nelson and Darnell Mitchell.
Farrell and Dupree are out early, but by the 200 Siebert has taken over only to be passed by Dupree at the bell, reached in 52.8. Down the backstretch Sugden makes his move and leads into the curve. Farrell, a big kicker, has moved from last to fourth. Siebert and Groth both move strongly in the homestretch. Siebert has the lead. Groth is gaining, but runs out of time. Siebert holds on to win in 1:47.2 with Groth inches behind in the same time. Sugden takes third in 1:47.3 with Farrell fourth in 1:47.5. Mitchell and Smith take the coveted final two spots for the LA Trials, both running 1:47.7. Nelson runs 1:48.2. Dupree fade badly and finishes last in 1:49.7. Though not making the Olympic team today, Groth, Sugden, Farrell, Smith and Nelson have to be pleased. They all have run personal bests.
Siebert is relieved at having his Olympic selection assured. He says, “I’m happy with my time, but I am not in the shape I was in Rome. I will devote as much time as grad school will allow me. Coach (Brutus) Hamilton is kind of a genius for getting guys in shape.”
