This is the Division 1 (D1) Girls race from the 2018 CIF-SS (Southern Section) Cross Country Finals on November 17, 2018 at the Riverside Cross Country Course.  The course is 3 miles.  The meet crowns the Division title winners (both team and individual) and determines the qualifiers headed to the CIF State meet.

Commentary:  The State Champ takes the Southern Section Championship, as well.  Gaitan's best time on this course in 3 CIF races.  Still has another year left.  But, she will lose a critical running mate in Cortes.  Nice battle for second with Arriaga holding off a strong challenge from Cortes.  Impressive running family - those Arriagas.  Great Oak and Vista Murrieta know each other very well.  They are Southwestern League rivals.  Just 4 points will separate them at State but it is GO who will repeat as State Champs.  Southern Section teams will go 1-2-4-7-8-9 at State.
