The California Interscholastic Federation-Southern Section has announced divisional alignments for boys’ and girls’ cross country in 2017, pending final enrollment figures.

The CIF-SS Cross Country divisions are based on California Basic Educational Data (CBED) information from the 2016-2017 year. When CBED information for 2017-18 has been submitted to CIF-SS and the State Department of Education (by Oct. 1), any school that incurs a gain or loss in enrollment of a minimum of 15 percent in the current year will utilize the new CBED data for placement into the corresponding division.

All division listings below — for Catholic high schools in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and Diocese of Orange — are tentative until final divisional placement is posted after Oct. 15, once CBED information has been analyzed and adjusted. No schools are allowed to compete outside of their enrollment-based division.

The initial “top 10” polls are expected to be released by the CIF later in August. The regular season starts Aug. 31, the post-season Nov. 10, and state championships Nov. 25.
