As the 2019 XC season slides into the halfway point, the team at MileSplitCA ran data reports, poured over invitational results, and examined year-over-year performances to produce the season's first subjective statewide division-by-division rankings for boys and girls.
In some cases, the data was thin -- some teams have yet to run at both 5K and 3 miles, have yet to field a full lineup, have dealt with injuries, and have encountered other circumstances we may not be aware of.
To the best of what we know, we made every attempt to provide a representative look at the top teams in each of the CIF's five divisions. With that, on the pages below, we present the MileSplitCA Statewide Divisional Rankings.
