CIF Championships

Here is a countdown clock to the start of the CIF Championships in San Diego. CIF stands for California Interscholastic Federation and they are 100% committed to developing student athletes of character. You can reach there website here or here. Once a year, The California Interscholastic Federation is the governing body for high school sports in the state of California. CIF membership includes both public and private high schools. Unlike most other state organizations, it does not have a single, state-wide championships for all sports; instead, for some sports, the CIF's 10 Sections each have their own championships. 

The purpose of this post is to raise awareness for Cross Country because, for their second year in a row, several students will be selected from the Sage Creek High School Cross Country team to run in the CIF Championship. All athletes lucky enough to be on their school's varsity team compete in CIF sectionals (the equivalent of districts in other states) to qualify for CIF State Championships. Since this year, just like the first year at SCHS, only Cross Country is participating at Varsity they are the only ones competing this year.

Next year, 2015-2016, the majority of remaining SCHS sports will make their way to Varsity but until then, everyone be sure to congratulate and support Cross Country and acknowledge their crazy efforts this year when you get the chance.
