Rest of the season

Nov 8 Central League Finals

The Central League Finals is against the same schools we compete against in the dual meets. The league championships for both girls and boys are determined (equal weight) by this meet and the Win-Loss record against league teams, with the tie-breaker being this meet. Everyone is eligible to run. The top 10 finishers will be All-League with medals to the top 15 finishers.

Nov 17 CIF Finals (CIF course at Morley Field)
Nov 24 State Meet (Woodward Park in Fresno)

The CIF finals is the qualifying meet to determine which teams will go the the state meet in Fresno Thanksgiving weekend. *Only the top 2 boys teams and top 3 girls teams will advance. We run only the top 7 boys and top 7 girls in this meet. If we qualify for the state meet we leave Friday Morning, spend the night in Fresno and return on Saturday. We can run only 7 but take anyone who wants to make the trip. The rooms for the runners are covered but any parents or extra team members who come along will have to pay their own way.

* Individuals can also advance to the state meet if their team is not among the top 2 (boys) or 3 (girls) team that qualify.

For the boys an individual must be among the top 12 finishers overall and also among the top 5 finishers of those not on a qualifying team.

For the girls an individual must be among the top 14 finishers overall and also among the top 5 finishers of those not on a qualifying team.

The reason the girls send three teams and the boys only two is based on the San Deigo Section's performance at the state meet over a 3-year running period. The state looks at how many top-10 finishes at state a section has by division and gender and adjusts the number or qualifying teams accordingly. Each divsision in our section is grauanteed 2 slots. Based on the running 3-year average D-V boys and girls and D-IV girls get just 2. D-IV girls get 3 (in a large part thanks to Coronado's performance at State) and D-II girls get 4 (they are a very strong division). Everyone else gets 3.
