The girls cross country teams from 1989-1996 may be the best collection of cross country teams to ever compete in the IHSA. Those eight teams won six state championships and finished second twice. For seven consecutive years from 1990-1996, the teams were conference champions, regional champions, and sectional champions. During the eight year stretch, PHS runners earned nineteen All-State medals, still a state record. Whether it was the 1990 team going undefeated, the 1991 team being regarded by many as the best ever, or the 1995 team finishing five runners within ten seconds and ten places of each other at the state meet, each of these teams were revered for different reasons.
