CIF-SDS Prelims was for all Division 3 schools in the entire CIF San Diego Section. Track & Field Division 3 comprises all high schools with less than 1,430 students. There are 67 schools in Division 3. Only the top 9 athletes from each league were able to qualify. TCCS had 9 athletes that qualified to compete in 12 events for Prelims.

This meet was the CIF Preliminary meet to determine who will progress on to the CIF Finals meet tomorrow. (CIF Finals does not have any divisions, so it’s the top 27 out of ALL San Diego competing). The top 9 in each event qualify for the next meet. TCCS had 6 athletes qualify in 7 events to compete in CIF Finals tomorrow, Saturday, May 21, at Mount Carmel High School! This is very impressive! Don’t miss out! Field events begin at 9:00 am and Track events start at 10:00 am.
