These are the final rankings of the 2011 CIF-SS Cross Country Season. From this point on, everything is sorted out by the teams racing head to head on the same dirt paths and giant hills (or flat pavement, if it rains) at Mt.SAC on Saturday, November 12.
A season high twenty San Gabriel Valley teams were ranked in this final poll. The Claremont and Glendora girls joined the rankings for the first time in the unprecedentedly competitive Div. II following their strong League Finals performances. This ranking means that all twenty teams are expected to advance to the CIF-SS Divisional Finals, also at Mt.SAC, on November 19th. But of course, expectations sometimes crash into reality once the starting gun is fired, so that’s why we run the races.
Full rankings (no commentary this week) are here.
