In compiling Riverside County team rankings, it becomes a tough task in regard to comparing squads as 'invitational' teams vs. 'dual meet' teams.  So, what we only take stats provided from the postseason (league finals and beyond).  With this in mind, it truly judges each team in regard to what they have planned for the postseason and rewards those that truly flourish when it counts most.  In looking at overall marks throughout the season, you will notice that certain individuals are dispersed through 3-5 events while also serving on their relay teams.  By only using league finals and the postseason, you get a better measurement of each squad's true abilities and where they will place these particular individuals.  We also only take the top 12-13 teams per gender and allow them three entries per event.  With that in mind, we do score them in a 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 format.  This allows for an invitational scoring format while also bringing in more of a dual meet system of scoring.  It's not a perfect system by any means, but we also realize that there is nobody else out there putting in the work to provide such a system.   ( - ;

We're witnessed another great showing from Riverside County athletes at this year's 2012 CIF Divisional Finals!  We had 14 CIF Champs while also crowning another team champion!

As we predicted, Vista Murrieta's boys ran away with their 3rd straight Division I CIF Title by scoring 71 points!  Meanwhile, Great Oak was able to hold off Roosevelt for that 2nd place plaque by a score of 51-50.  In the last three events, Great Oak scored 18 points to Roosevelt's 12 to make the difference. 

On the girls side for Division I, Long Beach Poly as expected ran away with the title with an impressive 86 points.  Roosevelt's girls earned their 2nd straight runner-up plaque by outlasting Great Oak 35-34.   

Individually, Vista Murrieta's Erika Reddish roared to a new Riverside County record in the 1600 meters en route to defending her Division I Title.  She breaks her own record as she is our first girl in county history to break 4:50.
