How are teams divided between Division I and Division II for the CYO City Championship Meet?
A – Starting in 2005, CYO Track changed the process for aligning teams from the Large School/Small School designations to Division I/Division II. Under the Large School/Small School process team alignments were based solely on school size. Prior to 2005, other CYO programs (football, basketball, volleyball) had transitioned away from the Large School/Small School process in favor of the Division I/Division II process where multiple factors are considered (strength of teams in a program, numbers of participants/teams, team dominance in a sport, and school size). The determination of which division that school/parish track program is placed is the joint responsibility of the CYO Track Advisory Board. This determination is reviewed each year and teams have the right to appeal their alignment.
