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 man 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.
