With only one week to go, it's time to really start breaking down all of the top seniors from around the state in preparation for the Florida Athletic Coaches Association's Senior All-Star Meet.
Some top selections have already been made by the F.A.C.A. All-Star Committee, while the rest of the athletes will be selected this Sunday (with a Final Watch List) to start rounding out the teams. Those athletes listed in the Initial Selection List have been ranked in the top 8 for all three of the current Watch Listings. The F.A.C.A. did not wish to wait until next week to finalize all selections due to the amount of paperwork involved. Therefore, if you're already on the Initial Selection List for your region, please contact Coach Kristin McWilliams (kristin.mcwilliams@ocps.net) and/or Coach Ryan Raposo (ryanraposo@gmail.com) to let us know if you're planning on attending or not. All of those planning on attending will receive a link for all of the official meet paperwork and documentation.
If you're currently listed under Watch List #3 for each geographical region, then you're still eligible to run for the All-Star Meet, but you're not yet listed in the final selections because you have not been ranked in the top 8 for all three Watch Lists. If you wish to express your interest, please email us as well: Coach Kristin McWilliams (kristin.mcwilliams@ocps.net) and/or Coach Ryan Raposo (ryanraposo@gmail.com), and we will highlight you accordingly. Again, all final selections will be made this upcoming Sunday after the State Championship. We apologize if there was any confusion because of this article being accidently released early Tuesday morning before it was finalized. Also, all performances listed below are based on this past week's Regional Championships.
For more information pertaining to this year's competition, please see the end of this article.
Athletes who are Attending will be highlighted in GREEN, Maybes will be in YELLOW, Declines will be in RED, Is Interested in Orange!

*Please note that these lists will continue to change, and the top senior listing will not be finalized until after the FHSAA State Finals. Although many athletes run great performances at the beginning of each season, we'll be looking for which seniors are performing the best at the end of the season for the final selections, particularly at state. And remember that each geographical region will only have eight individuals selected to represent their team, so keep working hard to make that top-eight, seniors!
Important Information for potential Senior All-Stars:
Listed below are the competition requirements as stipulated by the Florida Athletic Coaches Association (F.A.C.A.) for all high school sports and their F.A.C.A. Senior All-Star games, tournaments, and competitions. If you have any questions about the information listed, please contact Coach Kristin McWilliams, the F.A.C.A. Cross Country Chair; her email is listed at the end of this article.
Senior All-Star Selection Requirements:
1) Your high school coach must be a member of the Florida Athletic Coaches Association.
- This is a requirement set forth by the F.A.C.A. Boards of Directors. If your high school coach is a member, then you're good to go! If your high school coach is not a member, then have your high school coach sign up! If you are unsure of your coach's status, Coach McWilliams might be able to let you know if they are a member, although the easiest method would be to contact your high school coach directly and ask them.
- Florida Athletic Coaches Association Website , - F.A.C.A. 2014-15 Online Membership Registration Page , - F.A.C.A. Membership Benefits Page
2) You and/or your HS coach will need to secure a $75 sponsorship fee for yourself to help cover the cost of the event.
- The $75 sponsorship fee will help cover the cost of everything that goes on with the meet (excluding your personal traveling costs); this includes: Hotel costs, the Friday night banquet, F.A.C.A. commemorative t-shirts, F.A.C.A. drawstring bags, All-Star gold medallions, and a plaque for each individual race champion.
- The sponsorship fee should try to be obtained by a team's booster club, the athlete's school, through a parent's work place, or even by a local business or local running store. All athletes that make the final selection process will receive a sponsorship donation request form to help all athletes obtain the donation fee.
After reading and understanding all of the posted information, if you wish to confirm or reject your participation status for this year's F.A.C.A. Senior All-Star Meet, please let us know as soon as possible. Once confirmed, participation information will be emailed out to you with all of the requirements for being able to compete. Also, In order to allow all interested athletes a fair opportunity to be able to compete, we please ask that all officially selected athletes send in their race confirmations or rejections by Monday, November 17th. Starting Tuesday, if we do not have a final confirmation, then we will open the race selections to the alternate and/or other interested athletes.
If you have any questions, please let us know! Thank you!
