We conclude our 2011 cross country coverage by honoring the top male harriers of the season. Congratulations to our 2011 All Flrunners Boys Cross Country Team.

Three Florida teams made the NHSCA Top 50 Rankings, released in conjuction with XCNation.com. On the guys side,  Belen Jesuit continues to move up the ladder from tenth to sixth with the site calling them perhaps one of the best teams in Florida history! Columbus drops two notches to numbe 50. On the girls side Estero also maintains a strong position at number twenty-two, two spots higher than they were in the last edition.

Winter Park's Billy Anguish and Evangelical Christian's Sarah Candiano kick off our Warrior of the Week series for the 2011 cross country season. Anguish, a senior, outkicked Hagerty's Peter Licari to win the 31st Mike Gibson Summertime Run in 16:18. Candiano, a freshman, won the John Cay 5k in a very impressive 18:14.

The 31st annual Mike Gibson Summertime Run began at Lake Mary High School Saturday morning with a community race. A warm morning with dew covered grass provided a soft surface for the runners to begin on. The course was an expedition starting on Lake Mary’s football field for the first quarter mile, then two laps around a park that included trees, lakes, tennis courts, and even a roller hockey rink. Anticipation for the races arose as the girls lined up across the start line and waited for the gun to sound. 

Two hundred dollars. That's what it took to get Winter Park senior Billy Anguish to complete a whole season of cross country. Bribery? Perhaps. For a fourteen-year-old kid sometimes that's all it takes. 

Marvin Bracy jumped up in distance this week and tried his hand at the 400 meters--the first time we have on record for him at that distance. He was victorious in that event with a 50.04 and followed that up with a 21.69 back more in his comfort zone at 200 meters. Todd Grasley was on site for coverage for flrunners.com. Highlights, video interviews, and full results are now posted.
