STAC awards large-school and small-school titles. Section IV uses Classes A–D, so league rivals can separate at sectionals. This is a Confluence watchlist based on published results and seeds, not a final sectional entry list. Race places belong to their own divisions. Different XC courses and distances are not directly comparable.

Sources: Section IV published result history, October 22 conference seeds and the linked meet reports. Times keep the precision in the reviewed result history. Course distances are shown only where identified in the meet materials. 2026 Section IV handbook. Final entries and later timer corrections take precedence.
