The San Diego Section cross country honor roll is self-leveling as place-finishes determine the first and second all-division teams.

The top 10 finishing runners in each divisional race at the section finals are considered First Team All-CIF and the next 10 finishers Second Team All-CIF.

South County was represented on both lists.

First Team All-CIF runners on the boys side included Olympian senior Angel Cordero (Division I) and Bonita Vista senior Ian Ridge (Division II).

First Team All-CIF runners on the girls side included Eastlake sophomore Jaeyln Williams (Division I) and Otay Ranch junior Aviva DeVore (Division I).

Second Team All-CIF runners included San Ysidro senior Valeria Jimenez (Division II) and High Tech High Chula Vista sophomore Isabella Nazario (Division IV).

The all-section team is determined by the top 10 finishing times, regardless of division.
Williams notched the second-fastest time among female runners to earn a spot on the all-section team.

Williams and Ridge both represented the conference at the state championship meet Nov. 25 in Fresno.
