SGV Marches Forward at CIF Prelims

2015 has been a very strong year for the athletes of the San Gabriel Valley and this continued at the four sites for the CIF Southern Section Prelims.

The Southern Section is biggest and strongest prep section in the USA, which makes advancing to Finals a bigger achievement than making any other State meet.

The SGV advanced 20 relays and 134 individuals to next Saturday’s Finals at Cerritos College. That’s 14% of the relays and 11% of the individual spots.  The SGV makes up about 11% of the Southern Section, so well done!

• Division I: 11 SGV Schools advanced 3 relays & 16 individuals
• Division II: 13 schools – 2 relays & 13 individuals
• Division III: 34 schools – 9 relays & 70 individuals
• Division IV: 18 schools – 6 relays & 35 individuals
