| In the history of the IESA state cross-country meet, only one runner (male or female) has won the individual title three times. Anna Sophia Keller from Effingham St. Anthony won the individual title as a 6th grader in 2010; as a 7th grader in 2011; and in 2012 as an 8th grader, she set the girls course record with a time of 11:09.

Class History
The IESA sanctioned Cross-Country in 1979. There was one class of Cross-Country until 1997 when the activity was split into A and AA based upon enrollment. It was split in 2012 into three classes of 1A, 2A and 3A. In 2023 it was split again into the current four classes of 1A, 2A, 3A and 4A.
