Sources: IHSA archived regional and sectional results (2000 to present, including the complete sectional result PDFs), Athletic.net meet results (2009 to present), and scanned regional and sectional result sheets from the Geneseo cross country archive (1983 to 2003). Data © Illinois High School Association.

Gaps: before 2000 our only source is the scanned Geneseo-area result sheets, and no results at all have been found for 1985–88, 1990, 1992–93 or 1995. Some regional places and grades are unknown. IHSA's 2000–2012 sectional pages list only the top finishers and advancing runners, so most sectional places from those years are blank. No Rochelle boys sectional qualifier has been found for 1985–1988, 1990–1995, 2003–2006, 2011 and 2017–2020. Some of those years may just be missing records.

How runners advanced: 2000–2012, the top 5 teams at each regional plus the top 5 individuals not on those teams went to the sectional. Since then, IHSA has let more teams advance; in Class 2A, the top 6 teams, the top 5 other runners, and any 6th–8th place finisher not on an advancing team now go to the sectional. Pre-2000 rules have not been verified.
