The Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union released its final Class 1A girls soccer rankings on Tuesday, cementing the positions of six KMAland conference programs among the state’s elite.
The rankings, which reflect a season of intense competition across Iowa, place St. Albert, Des Moines Christian, Treynor, Kuemper Catholic, Tri‑Center and Panorama in the top tier, underscoring the depth of talent in the western part of the state.
For each of these schools, the listing is more than a statistic; it is a testament to months of early‑morning practices, strategic adjustments and the chemistry built on the field.
Coaches from the six programs said the recognition validates their developmental approach, which emphasizes disciplined defense and dynamic attacking play.
