Village Christian Mia Barnett had the fastest time from two preliminary heats (18:16.20) with Sage Hill senior Brooklyn Button second (18:21.00).  Mammoth sophomore Jordyn Harper, fifth in the section last year, had the third-fastest qualifying time.

Flintridge Prep has been the dominant team in the division in recent years, having won the last four Southern Section D5 titles and the last three D5 CIF State titles.

Junior Sasha Codiga (18:54.20) was the team's top finisher in the combined prelims, followed by junior Haley Allen, senior Gabriella Bennett, senior Sophie Gitlin and junior Jenna Mijares. Codiga was third in the division last season.

Brentwood's Bianca Pourmussa won the title last year as a junior but doesn't appear to have competed this year.
