Beebe Family forced to sell ranch; Long time Casa home course
CHRISTOPHER CHUNG / Press Democrat


August 17, 2005
 It was the fall of 1992, and Casa Grande Cross Country was in the midst of its glory days. After winning the SCL League Title for the first time in the fourteen year history of the team the previous year, they won their second consecutive title with their new course; Beebe Ranch. Other than the long dirt road which opposing team bus drivers often refused to tackle in order to get to the ranch, it was widely regarded as one of the best courses in the Sonoma Country League. The 2.74 mile course saw some of the counties best runners, including Casa's Ricky Esponda, NCS Champion Nate Kabanuck, Ian Messier, and Angie Kabanuck. In 2002, Casa found a new home at Martinelli Ranch when new owners took over at Beebe. Recently, the county has required owners of the Beebe family ranch to remove nearly 1 million illegally dumped tires, which have piled up in ravines. With the future of the ranch uncertain, it's anyones guess as to what will happen to it.

"A race is a work of art that people can look at and be affected in as many ways they’re capable of understanding."

Steve Prefontaine



"The real purpose of running isn't to win a race, it's to test the limits of the human heart"

Bill Bowerman



"The principle is competing against yourself. It's about self-improvement, about being better than you were the day before."

Steve Young



"The start of a World Cross Country event is like riding a horse in the middle of a buffalo stampede. It's a thrill if you keep up, but one slip and you're nothing but hoof prints."
