List of The Columbian All-Region girls cross country teams 2001-2023
The following are the honorees on The Columbian All-Region girls cross country teams from 2001-2023.
The teams originated as “All-County” in 2001 then changed to “All-Region” in 2002.
The teams were originally The Columbian’s circulation area, which included all of Clark County, plus Stevenson (Skamania County) and Woodland (Cowlitz County).
In the 2019-2020 school year, The Columbian expanded eligibility for selection to every school in leagues covered (4A, 3A and 2A Greater St. Helens League, 1A Trico League). This allowed athletes from Kelso, Mark Morris, R.A. Long, Castle Rock and Columbia-White Salmon to be eligible. Kalama, which competed as a 2B school at the time, was also included.
During the Spring 2021 COVID-shortened season, only the runner of the year was selected.
The runners of the year are listed in bold.
