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, 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.
