| Team Rankings: | |||
| Commentary: The top three faced off head to head at FSU and results were clear and as expected, though expect a tighter score come the state meet. Geneva and Circle pulled something together quick at FSU and backed it up at Holy Trinity. Outside of that, not a lot of change (couldn't find recent team results for #8-10) We'll see how things play out in the last two weekends before districts, but I don't expect to see a whole lot of major moves team-wise until after the first district meet. | |||

| Commentary: Julie W. is still clearly at the top, but after her are several tight packs. Holy Trinity's course always runs fast while FSU appeared to run slightly slow. I'm trying to be fair here, and rely on more recent results. | |||

| 2A Girls Rankings | By: Doug Nowlin, Pine Crest School, doug.nowlin@pinecrest.edu | ||
| Team Rankings: | |||
| Commentary: There was a little bit of shaking up and moving around in the 2a girls rankings, but nothing major. Bolles and Bishop Kenny remain the two strongest teams. They will have at least three more head to head meetings this season: District, Regional, and the State Championship. The remaining teams just seem to be getting stronger. Only 30 seconds separates the next 9 teams. That is impressive considering last weekend was the SAT weekend, so some teams raced at less than full-strength. And if your school is like mine, there are lots of colds and other annoying maladies making the rounds which can also bring teams down for a few days. Teams that are able to keep their packs tight and strive to stay healthy are finding their hard work is paying off. My next rankings will appear on Wed., Nov. 7th and will preview the Regional Championships. | |||

| 4. | Carrollton, R4 | (7) | 20:56 (SB - Jr. Orange Bowl); 1-5 Split = 1:07; The defending State Champs were back in action this week with an impressive 2nd place finish at the Jr. Orange Bowl Invitational at Larry and Penny Thompson Park. |

| Commentary: Similar to the team rankings -- not a lot of changes. But the times are consistently getting faster. A few weeks ago, breaking 21:00 would have earned an Honorable Mention. This week, runners needed a time under 20:00. Congratulations girls! Stay healthy, have fun, and keep getting faster. | |||

| 2. | Sarah Day, 12, West Shore | (2) | 18:08 (SB - Holy Trinity); Sarah was 9th at the competitive Elite Race at FSU Pre-State, and 2nd at Holy Trinity. But what is most impressive about Sarah is the consistent 5k times in the low 18:00s throughout this season. |

| Commentary: As the season moves towards its peak with the State Championship just a month away, Runners are showing their strength against strong competition. In this Poll continuing with the individual averages for the last two races it shows a trend among runners to rise to the level of their competition. Runners had to have at least two races in the last three weeks to be considered. This is only to have a set baseline for the Poll, also if you strickly want to admire each runners fastest times check out the applaud all athletes for your effort and the examples that you set for your peers. | |||

| Team Rankings: | |||
| Commentary: Besides FSU, there were a ton of different little meets to look at. Many schools were missing one of their top five runners, and outside of FSU there was little head-to-head racing. So take these with a grain of salt as we start heading into the championship season! | |||
| Team Name, Region | (Prev.) | Comments: | |
| 1. | St. Thomas Aquinas, 3 | (1) | 19:07 Team Avg, 1:35 Spread, 2nd @ FSU Gold; Although they were the top team in 4A a year ago, this year STA looks to be unstoppable. They almost took down Estero, and they’re in the driver seat for the State meet this year. |
| 2. | Plant, 2 | (2) | 19:39 Team Avg, 1:48 Spread, 3rd @ FSU Gold (yet #2 runner DNF); Even without their #2 runner finishing, Plant looks to make the podium again this year, although silver looks to the new color they might be sporting. |
| 3. | Olympia, 1 | (4) | 19:44 Team Avg, 2:08 Spread, 4th @ FSU Gold; Looking strong when it matters at the big show. The Titans might be able to make a move on Plant if they have another slip up with runners not being able to finish their races. |
| 4. | Ferguson, 4 | (3) | 19:59 Team Avg, 1:14 Spread, 6th @ FSU Gold; Having the best pack doesn't mean a whole lot when the team is slower than it could be. They'll really need to keep working hard to have a shot at thinking about the podium for this season. |
| 5. | Hagerty, 1 | (6) | 20:25 Team Avg, 4:48 Spread, 13th @ FSU Gold; 2:40 of their spread is from #4 to #5. They're just a solid #5 runner away from potentially being a solid top 3 team this year, this could be the dark horse podium team as the season starts winding down. |
| 6. | Lourdes, 4 | (5) | 20:33 Team Avg, 1:51 Spread, 15th @ FSU Gold; Missing a couple of top girls due to injury has created a gap between their 1-2 and the rest of their varsity pack. In a small meet however, they should be able to pass Hagerty. |
| 7. | Newsome, 2 | (7) | Between FSU, Land O' Lakes, Armwood, and the Hillsborough 9th/10th meet, I promise they had some form of competitve racing in the last two weeks, just not everyone together. |
| 8. | Dr. Phillips, 1 | (8) | 20:24 Team Avg, 3rd at Hagerty Invite; Still needing to work on the back half of that varsity squad. And here starts the battle to qualify to state for the Region of Death. Any of the next five Region 1 teams, could claim the last three qualifying slots. All of them are top 15 State teams. |
| 9. | Lake Mary, 1 | (11) | 21:35 Team Avg, 2:29 Spread, 24th @ FSU Gold (Missing #2) |
| 10. | Colonial, 1 | (10) | 21:38 Team Avg, 3:35 Spread, 22nd @ FSU Gold (Missing #5) |

| 15. | Freedom (Tampa), 2 | (15) | 22:15 Team Avg, 4:45 Spread, 7th @ Land O' Lakes (Missing #3) |
| 16. | Sarasota Riverview, 2 | (21) | 21:57 Team Avg, :52 Spread, 15th @ FSU Silver (Missing #1) |
| 17. | Wharton, 2 | (16) | 21:42 Team Avg, 2nd at Armwood Invite |
| 18. | Coral Reef, 4 | (17) | 21:52 Team Avg, 4th @ Jr Orange Bowl |
| 19. | Jupiter, 3 | (9) | 23:18 Team Avg, 2nd at Southwest Invitational |
| 20. | South Dade, 4 | (20) | 22:24 Team Avg, 6th @ Jr Orange Bowl |

| Individual Rankings: | |||
| Commentary: Most of the girls are based off of FSU (Pre-State) Invitational times, although some had other races as well, but I gave precedent to the state course. Also, I thought Hagerty ran slightly faster (~10 seconds) than FSU and Jr Orange Bowl ran slightly slower (~15 seconds) so I adjusted for those times as well. | |||

| Commentary: Bishop Kenny appears unstoppable with depth and elite runners. After that, who the heck knows? Immokalle has been a little better in head to heads thus far with some teams on this list from 3 through 8. I can see any of the teams from 3 through 8 getting to the podium if all falls into place for them. CB clearly has the top 3 it needs, but has a huge gap to 4 and 5. Nature Coast last week had a large gap to 4 and 5 as well. Lake Nona usually has 5 close, but had a gap to 5 when they last raced. Jesuit, Ransom and Robinson have posted improving times in recent weeks and have stronger depth than some of the teams ranked higher than they are. A side note... some team in the Orlando/Tamps region ranked in the top 10 may not get out, as that region is once again the toughest in AA. | |||
| Team Name | (Prev.) | Comments: | |
| 1. | Bishop Kenny | (1) | Clear number one…. No one close |
| 2. | Immokalee | (T2) | Gets numner two spot in a tie breaker over CB, more depth than CB to date, but less strength at 1-3 |
| 3 | Cocoa Beach | (T2) | Right with Immokalee |
| 4. | Nature Coast | (4) | Ran well at 1-3 last week |
| 5. | Lake Nona | (8) | Even though 5th had an off day, their depth is the best of any team outside of Kenny |
| 6. | Jesuit | (6) | Along with Ransom and Robinson, .. Improving |
| 7. | Ransom Everglades | (5) | Fast times on fast Wickham course |
| 8 | Robinson | (7) | Almost Inseparable from Jesuit and Robinson |
| 9. | West Florida Tech | (T10) | Clearly a top 10 team , maybe as high as 5 |
| 10. | Pensacola Catholic | (NR) | Three way tie here… can't separate them objectively |
| 10 | Lake Highland | (NR) | Ditto |
| 10 | Berkeley Prep | (T10) | Ditto |
| 13 | Eastside | (9) | |

| Commentary: Not knowing what happened to Barr last week (as I live in the tropics), he is still clearly the favorite in my eyes. Yarbrough has been impressive in recent races, and gives BK as solid a 1-2 as is possible. De La Cruz lost a close one last week at home, but is still a legit threat to the throne. In fact, this whole list is much more muddled than last year, and I can see anyone in the top 9 or so making a late season charge . We have some guys in the Panhandle improving rapidly, and since the race is in Tallahassee, may have a bult in advantage. I know there are guys who dropped off this list and will finish in the top 15 let alone top 20. ...the Nature Coast trio, Correa, Vazquez, Medina and the Lake Nona contingent. But to be fair, I cut off at 16:37 ( somewhat arbitray if you ran 16:38). My simulators are running full blast as I try to "get it right" | |||
