But I do know that on the boys side no dIII school has one because Riordan was much larger when they won their titles. The only exception might be a school called Serramonte; it's no longer open and I don't know how big it was. Cubberly won one title, but I am assuming by the size of the still extant campus that it was DII at least.<br /><br />On the girls' side, King City tied for the first title, Harbor won at least two, and SI won one. And a school called San Carlos, which to my knowledge is no longer open (renamed?) won one but I have no idea how big they were...pmccrystlenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-46649311637912832322012-05-23T21:29:44.583-07:002012-05-23T21:29:44.583-07:00I'm curious.

Of these, 46 are private and 87 are public. Interestingly, in Divisions 1-4, the split is dramatically different: 111 schools, 86 public, but only 25 private. There is only 1 DI private school in CCS, and 4 DII schools. The breakdown by divisions in cross country looks like this:<br />Boys<br />Div Priv Pub<br />I 1 23<br />II 3 21<br />III 3 21<br />IV 8 15<br />V 18 1<br />Girls<br />DIV Priv Pub<br />I 0 24<br />II 3 21<br />III 4 20<br />IV 9 15<br />V 21 1pmccrystlenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-63329808440235417192012-05-23T09:15:54.952-07:002012-05-23T09:15:54.952-07:00Anonymous said...

It's really hard to reach your peak when your only available competition is slow. I wouldn't assume that Richard Ho or Michael McCabe just tempo-ed. That is why you need to take a few runners from every league - so everyone gets a chance against the best competition.<br /><br />And whoever said that there is discrimination against the catholic schools, come on.

If you can, you should save up for CCS and not run hard at leagues. But some schools in the WCAL have had runners who had already run the at-large time at previous meets. There are more than two guys who could've qualified. So, guys in the WCAL won't tempo just to get top 2 because there are so many other guys who have run the at large time and they all want to go to CCS. So, if you run in a slow league, by all means tempo, run slowly, do whatever you want to do to qualify. But in other, deeper leagues, the guys NEED to hammer just to get the fast at-large time or top two.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-21921906474305945032012-05-18T12:29:29.774-07:002012-05-18T12:29:29.774-07:00It is my understanding that the contract expires t...It is my understanding that the contract expires this year and CCS said no thank you to a future contract. <br /><br />League, semis are just qualifying rounds.
