I am trying to find out what organization (and its website address if
it exists) issues the awards to
individuals in  high school that include all-american, all-conference,
all-CIF, etc.  I also need a list of past winners (for girls' cross
country) dating back to 1994.

Hi!  

Are you referring specifically to girls' cross country in all of this?
 Any particular state/conference/high school?

I ask because there is no one organization that awards all of these in
all sports or even in any one sport (think McDonald's All-American in
basketball, Parade All-Americans in football, and adiddas
All-Americans in soccer).

Sticking with girls' cross-country, in the Footlocker Cross Country
National Finals for girls, the top 15 finishers are all named All
Americans.  The 2001 finalists are found at:
< http://www.footlockercc.com/2001_girls_results.htm >  2002 Nationals
aren't until December.

When you start talking all-state, all-conference, all-whatever else,
you tend to be talking awards by sportswriters and coaches polls.  So
narrowing it down would probably better get you an answer...at least
from me <big grin>.

FYI,  DyeState < http://dyestat.com/3rank/2xc/ > calls itself the
Internet Home of High School Track.  It includes the Harrier listings,
Harrier being "the high school distance magazine".  Harrier's website
is
< http://www.theharrier.com >

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the information.  I had just assumed that one organization
awarded all of them.  What I specifically need is Girls' high school
cross country all-western conference winners dating back to 1994.
