1A Boys Rankings














By: Mark Caulfield, The Geneva School, [email protected]












Team Rankings:












Commentary: Not a whole lot of movement in our second poll as many teams are just getting started and others who chose to skip the first week of competition. The most significant move though comes at #1 where Holy Trinity jumps ahead of Maclay School. Coach Butler of HTA has his kids ready for a repeat run with an impressive opening start. P.K. Younge also started out strong running a pre-season meet averaging 18:02 for their first 4 finishers. Look for teams to begin revealing their fitness, talent, depth, and strength levels over the next few weeks.





































































Team Name, Region Prev Comments:












1 Holy Trinity Academy 2 Opens up the season winning their own Wickham Park Jamoboree placing four athletes in the top 8 (all under 17:00). Fifth runner sets a nice PR as well. But, big gap to 5th, 6th and 7th runners could still leave them vulnerable if someone in the top 4 goes down.












2 Maclay School 1 Losing one of their top 3 runners to soccer bumps Maclay down a notch in the early season polls but look for Coach Droze and the Mauraders to fill that gap fast. Freshman Jake Mazziotta looks to help with a nice PR at the pre-season Miller Landing race.












3 Shorecrest Prep 3 No meet performances this past week. Getting ready to launch their season opener at the Indian Rocks Invitational on September 5.












4 Pensacola Christian Acad. 4 No meet performances reported this past week as the Warriors are sticking close to home getting ready for a big season.












5 P.K. Younge School 7 The Blue Wave look to be a team ready to make a big splash. In the pre-season Bucholz Jamboree on last years Region course, their number 1 opened at 16:48 and 2-4 ran together in 18:27-18:28. No results on number 5, but this team is clearly ready.












6 Indian Rocks Christian 5 7th place finish in the elite race at the Holloway Park Jamboree (18:49 team average). Team looks to have good depth with nine boys competing for a varsity spot which could help push them to improve.












7 The Geneva School 6 Got rained out at their season opener at the Trinity Prep Twilight Invitational. Looking forward to see where they are at this week at Katie Caples.












8 St. Petersburg Catholic 8 No meet performances this past week. Getting ready to open at the Indian Rocks Invitational this upcoming week.












9 North Florida Christian 9 Opened up their season at Cougar XC Challenge with a third place finish. Missing some returners from last years State team but picked up a newcomer at #3 who will help.












10 Admiral Farragut Academy 10 The Blue Jacketes began their season with an 11th place finish at the Holloway Park Jamboree (19:44 team average). Their #1 seems to have returned in great shape while 2-5 may need a little more time to get ready. Still a team to keep an eye on.












11 Father Lopez Catholic HS (NR) Opened up their season with a 7th place finish at the Spikes and Spurs Classic with a tight 1:12 pack through the top 5 that averaged 19:14 over the 5K race.












12 Oak Hall School (NR) Finished 14th at the Ridgeview Bob Hans Invitational with a 19:28 team average.












13 Brevard Heat (NR) Finished 12th at the Wickham Park Jamboree with a 19:28 team average.












14 Seffner Christian Academy 12 Opened up at the Holloway Park Jamboree with a 12th place (19:48 team average). Look for team to continue to improve through the season.












15 Circle Christian School 15 Got rained out at their season opener at the Trinity Prep Twilight Invitational but did run the Ted Benz pre-season meet averaging 20:00 for their top 5 on a slow muddy course.












16 Miami Country Day 11 No meet performances reported this past week as they prepre to open up their season at the Fort Myers Optimist Invitational on September 7.












17 Seacrest Country Day 13 Began the season competing in the Estero DDD Invitational. Seems to have held out some of the top returners from last season.












18 Westminster Academy 14 No meet performances this past week. Top program with a strong 1-2.












19 Melbourne Central Catholic (NR) Finished 9th at the Harmony Invitational where the top 5 avereaged 20:29.












20 Calvary Christian (Clearwater) (NR) Finished 2nd in the open division of the Holloway Park Jamboree averaging 20:31 through the top 5.





























Individual Rankings:












Commentary: In the early season there is generally a lot of movement in the polls. Rest assured talent will rise to the top as the season progresses. It is often exciting though at the start to see some surprises and who put in the work over the summer. This years early season surprise include Patrick McNamara from Admiral Farragut Academy (2nd at the Holloway Park Jamboree) and Franco Martins from Windermere Prep (1st at the Mike Gibson Summertime Run) who both exploded out of the gates with great efforts this past week. The top spot on the poll though belongs to Holy Trinity's Junior Andrew Cacciatore who moves up from the 3rd spot with the fastest season opener (16:13) in 1A and the second fastest time in the State in winning the Wickham Park Jamboree. Good luck to all the teams over the next few weeks as we get a chance to see the early season work and progress begin to take shape.

16 Brandon Bejarano, Senior - Westminster Academy 12 No meets last week but a big summer and 16:51 PR last season has him ready to get started.

18 Luke Peterson, Sophomore - Shorecrest Prep 17 No meet last week but his 17:01 Cross Country PR and 4:35 Track PR warrants a top 20 spot.












19 Joshua Balentine, Senior - Pensacola Christian Academy 19 No meet last week. Ran 16:51 last season and finished in 44th place at the CC State Meet.

2A Boys Rankings












By: Doug Nowlin, Pine Crest School, [email protected]












Team Rankings:












Commentary: I have 16 teams ranked this week and they are almost exactly the same as last week. I added McKeel because I never should have left them out. Nine teams participated in races this weekend … but not really. Lots of asterisks. Some teams ran their JV teams, or only partial Varsity teams, and one of the races was less than 5k. So I'm not going to adjust the team rankings this week. I would like to recognize the Titusville Boys team who finished 2nd at the Wickham Park Jamboree with a team average of 17:21. I'm confident they will make the rankings in my next poll. Thank you for your understanding, and thank you for your e-mails about 2a teams and individuals. Looking forward to this next weekend of racing. I'll be at Katie Caples with my team. If you can find me, hope you say hello.



























































































Team Name, Region Prev Comments:












1 Bishop Kenny, R1 1 Bishop Kenny did not run their varsity runners in the Ridgeview Bob Hans Invitational. Congratulations to other members of their team for stepping up and placing 5th out of 24 teams with an average of 18:22.












2 Trinity Prep, R2 2 The Trinity Prep varsity runners were not able to get their race in before the thunderstorms hit at their season opening Twilight Meet. However, the Trinity Prep JV team ran admirably and lost a tie breaker to Timber Creek to finish 2nd with an average of 20:14.












3 Immokalee, R3 3 Immokalee ran at less-than-full strength in the Estero DDD Invitational finishing 5th with an average of 19:13.












4 Tampa Jesuit, R3 4













5 Ransom Everglades, R4 5













6 Berkeley Prep, R3 6













7 Nature Coast Tech, R2 7













8 Lake Highland Prep, R2 8 Lake Highland Prep Boys finished 3rd at the Mike Gibson Run with a team average of 17:34. The Meet Director has confirmed that the course was 3 miles (not 5k), so a future 5K team average will be used in the next rankings.












9 Bolles, R1 9 Congratulations to the Bolles Boys for their 1st Place finish at the North Florida 110% Cross-Country Invitational. Team average was 17:47.












10 McKeel Academy (NR) My apologies to the Boys of McKeel Academy. I did not recognize that this team had moved up from 1a. McKeel finished 7th at last years 1a State Championship with an average of 17:37 -- and all 7 boys are returning. Welcome to 2a, McKeel !!












11 Pine Crest, R4 10













12 Bishop Moore, R2 11 Bishop Moore Boys finished 5th at the Mike Gibson Run with a team average of 17:54. The Meet Director has confirmed that the course was 3 miles (not 5k), so a future 5K team average will be used in the next rankings.












13 LaBelle, R3 12 LaBelle Boys placed 13th at the Estero DDD Invitational with a team average of 20:56. Haven't heard from them, but I'm guessing they were not at full-strength.












14 West Florida Tech, R1 13













15 Pensacola Catholic, R1 14













16 Key West, R4 15






























Individual Rankings:












Commentary: I mentioned in my Pre-Season Poll that I hope to be fair -- so I've decided not to make any changes to the Individual Rankings this week. Of the 25 ranked runners in 2a, only 5 competed in the first week. I don't think it would be fair to adjust the rankings if most of the athletes (20/25) did not have an opportunity to prove themselves. The 5 athletes who did run got the 2a action off to a great start! I would also like to recognize Mason Jones, a Titusville Freshman who ran 16:48 at Wickham Park Jamboree, placing 6th. I'm sure Mason will crack the top 25 in the next poll. Thank you for your understanding, and thanks for the e-mails providing information about 2a runners and teams.

3A Boys Rankings












By: Ryan Lowe, Lake Nona HS, [email protected]

5 Niceville, R1 5 No times from the Pace Patriot Invitational












6 Land O Lakes, R2 6 1-2 looked good on tough Holloway Park course but 4-5 need to improve

Individual Rankings:












Commentary: After one regular season race, and no times reported from the 3rd Annual Pace Patriot Invitational, the rankings will not have much of a shake-up. There were a few impressive performances but the first week of racing held pretty much to form.

4A Boys Coming Soon














































1A Girls Rankings












By: Nathan Means, Mount Dora Bible School, [email protected]












Team Rankings:












Commentary: My sincere apologies for not sending in pre-season rankings. This week is tough because a few teams still haven't run and a few more got rained out. These are a merge of first weekend, pre-season races, and pre-season rankings. The picture should be much clearer in two weeks.



























Team Name, Region Prev Comments:












1 Holy Trinity, R3 4 Out of the gate like crazy with a 19:34 average at Wickham Park












2 Oak Hall School, R2 1 Looks like they held back a lot for the first week, only averaging 20:07 at Ridgeview












3 Providence School, R1 3 20:04 at North Florida 110% is slightly faster than Oak Hall, but not sure how much they were holding back












4 Shorecrest Prep, R3 2 Haven't run yet…












5 Brevard HEAT, R3 9 Nice jump on the 1A crowd with a 21:47 average at Wickham Park












6 Community School of Naples, R3 6 Solid start at Estero with a 22:13 average












7 St. Johns Country Day, R1 5 22:50 average at Bob Hans is another good start to the season












8 Father Lopez, R2 (NR) Big jump into top 10 with a good showing at Spikes and Spurs, averaging 22:53












9 Westminster Christian, R4 8 Haven't run yet…












10 First Academy (Orlando), R2 7 Posted a 23:14 average at the Ted Benz Jamboree, not sure if entire squad was there












11 Circle Christian, R2 13 23:18 average at Ted Benz, rained out at Trinity Prep along with TFA












12 Calvary Christian (Clearwater), R3 (NR) 23:40 average at Holloway Park












13 Maclay School, R1 15 24:07 average at Cougar XC Challenge












14 Kings Academy, R4 10 Haven't run yet…












15 Westminster Academy, R4 14 Haven't run yet…





























Individual Rankings:












Commentary: Going strictly by computer rankings for individuals here while taking weekend #1 results at face value. This is more or less just a shout out to the first weekend's top runners as too many haven't posted a time yet. The next poll will be much more complete.

2A Girls Rankings












By: Mike Becker, Ransom Everglades, [email protected]












Team Rankings:












Commentary: Not many schools opened up during a hot, and (in some places wet) rainy, muddy weekend. So it is IMPOSSIBLE to shuffle rankings much. However, some teams strutted their feathers. Bolles put 7 runners under 21:00 That is certainly going to be a big "ouch" for the rest of the state. Also giving solid openers were Carrollton, Bishop Kenney, Eastside, Rockledge and Titutsville. Lemon Bay and Kenney appears to have opened up without some returning runners? Other than adding Rockledge and Titusville who excelled on fast Wickham Park Course, not much to do yet. The next update will be a big one of course. I believe strongly in head to head and NOT COMPARING times. But please email me with any comments and input.















































































Team Name, Region Prev Comments:












1 Bolles 1 Seven under 21:00 is trouble for the pack of teams chasing












2A Pine Crest 2A Off












2B Lemon Bay 2B Ran at Lemon Bay without top returners?












2C Ransom Evereglades 2C Off












5 Carrolton
Opened well and finsihed third at slow….. Make it a Very slow… Estero course where only the winner broke 20:00












6 Bishop Kenney
Opened on slow Ridgeview Course without some top returners?












7 Eastside
Opened at Slow Ridgeview Course












8 Titusville
Wickham Park












9 Rockledge
Wickham Park












10 Robinson
Off and probably better than this ranking












11 Lake Highland Prep














12 Immokalee














13 West Florida Tech














14 Nature Coast














15 Berkeley Prep














16 Academy of Holy Names














17 Bishop John Snyder














18 Wakulla














19 West Shore































Individual Rankings:












Commentary: Very few teams opened up so head to head matchups are missing. Despite others' attempts to compare runners by times ( a very error prone method to say the least), the only way to compare is head to head. Thus there is likely still to be a lot of disagreement and/or confusion over matchups. Controversy improves ratings :) However, certainly some notable additions are required including Madison Harris ( state 800 medalist) and some more Bolles runners. I am not gonna move runners down far who haven't opened yet. I am also not gonna move down teammates who packed together yet beat each other by only a couple of seconds. Also gonna keep 21:00 ( last year or this year) as a breaking point to make the cut for now. I love input

15 Sarasota, 3 11 Missing their top runners, but took first at the Lemon Bay Invite led by freshman Sage Lyons.





























Individual Rankings:












Commentary: Some of the previous top 25 ran last week, but solid start to Xiang at the Bob Hans Invite and Edwards taking on the tough Estero course. Looking forward the next coming weeks. A lot of fast times at Bob Hans which is consistent to previous years as well as slow times at Estero. Halloway produced a lot more quicker times than last year.
