Central Illinois Conference
The Central Illinois Conference or CIC, is a high school athletic conference in Central Illinois. The first year of existence was the 2014-15 school year. Its schools belong to the IHSA and compete in many sports and other activities.
History
The conference started in the 2014-15 school year and originally included Argenta-Oreana, Clinton [High School (Clinton, Illinois)|Clinton], St. Teresa, Meridian, Central A&M, Sullivan, Shelbyville, Warrensburg-Latham, and Tuscola all schools from the Okaw Valley Conference. Before the actual forming of the CIC, Argenta-Oreana decided to join the Little Okaw Valley Conference, so this left the new conference with 8 schools. On December 13, 2021, St. Teresa was removed from the conference by a 6-1 vote, with Sullivan abstaining from the vote. Sullivan abstained from the vote due to accepting an invitation to join the Lincoln Prairie Conference beginning in the 2023-24 school year.| School | Years | Previous Conferences |
