FSU Invitational (Pre-State) 2016

In 2014, Khosla ran sub 14:59 at the FSU Invitational/Pre-State for the second straight year and picked up his second consecutive 3A Cross Country Finals individual title. Khosla's best of 14:59.45 ranks as the best time ever at the FSU Invitational (Pre-State) and the best ever by a high school athlete at Apalachee Regional Park. We rank the 500 best times in both meet history and on this specific course.

Winter Park junior Rafaella Gibbons and Riverview junior Bailey Hertenstein have both had success at the FSU Invitational (Pre-State) as well as on the Apalachee Regional Park course. Gibbons owns the fastest time at Pre-State with her 17:44.60 win from 2015, while Hertenstein ran the second fastest time of her career 17:32.55 last November at the ARP to capture the 4A Cross Country finals state championship. We look at the best times in meet history and on this specific course.
