Only Champion individual or team for the SWOTCCCA came as the winner of the DI girls race

Evelyn Prodoehl of Lakota West was the first Cincinnati area runner to win a girls individual state cross country title since Annie Heffernan ten years ago in 2013. No other individuals or teams from district meets in the Cincinnati area won state titles this year. Updated file is here.

Soccer and volleyball made up for it.

Girls OHSAA state cross country championships started in 1978. For the first four years, they only ran two classes, A and AA competed together. Three classes didn't start until 1982.

I looked at the girls' 1993 state results and saw only two divisions.

The 1994 results first showed 3 divisions.

Not true. The 1982 results shows 3 classes for girls. https://www.ohsaa.org/Portals/0/Sports/Cross Country/Past Tournament Results/1982cc.pdf
You're nitpicking terminology. Before they were referred to as Divisions, they were called classes. Thus Class A became Division I, Class AA became Division II, Class AAA became Division III

In 1989 they went to two divisions for girls. I wasn't trying to nitpick about whether they were classes or divisions. I am curious as to why they only ran two races for girls from 1989 to 1993. I'm pretty sure it had to do with low participation. This had a direct effect on the team that I was coaching, as we were one of the smallest DI schools in 93. You were certainly right about 82 results.

They went back to 2 divisions for girls because they were below the 500 school cutoff for a third division at the time.

Girls are in danger of going back to 2 divisions. The turnout at the district meets was horrible. If OHSAA wanted to they could drop it back to 2 divisions. Most district races, for girls, were underrepresented.

Makes you wonder if need to do what college does and have the girls run a shorter race like 4k? Would that even help get more girls out for CC. I am not sure it would.
