California (North)

Northern California holds a separate competition from Southern California because of distance issues. It has a medium amount of membership compared to other states. There are 7 regions in Northern California all with about 30 teams per division. All regions hold both B and C competitions.

History
A small bit of history but certainly not all of it.

B Division
There have been quite a few close NorCal finals competitions over the years, some decided by just a point or 2. The nearly 30 years of Sci Oly history in NorCal have been dominated by 2 schools, Churchill and Arden. Together, these 2 schools account for most of the NorCal 1st place finishes. Interestingly, these 2 schools or both in Sacramento, both in the San Juan School District and are located just a few miles from each other. Other schools that have won the NorCal title are Elkhorn from Lodi and Carnegie MS in Sacarmento. John Barrett MS (also a San Juan USD school) has consistently been in the top 5 or so places for many years.

C Division
Mira Loma High School has dominated the C Division in recent years but is starting to feel some heat from Bay Area schools like Mission San Jose High School, Palo Alto High School and Henry Gunn High School.
