FHSAA Cross Country State Finals 2018

It was an emotional day for friends and family of the Mount Dora Christian Academy boys team as they won their second state title in a row. 

Alyssa Hendrix and Carly McNatt each won individual state titles this weekend, but these speedy ladies are not done with their stellar seasons. Each will go on to compete at national regional races in the next two weeks for a chance to compete at the national level.

This weekend Florida saw three names defend their state titles and in the process lead their teams to podium finishes. 

The Belen boys and Chiles girls demonstrated they are two of the top teams in the state with their back to back team titles. 

If your coach agrees to dress up like a hot dog if you win the 4A team state title, what do you do? 

Valerie Lastra, a junior out of Mater Academy, set a new course record on the Apalachee Regional Park course in a time of 17:17.58 to win the 3A girls race!

HB Plant and Bolles ladies won the team titles in their respective divisions today at the FHSAA state finals. They also happen to now have eleven team state titles which ties them for the most titles for a girls cross country team in the state of Florida. 

The Bolles boys team tied the state record of lowest points scored at the state meet with a 1-2-3 finish. 

Blaine Thomas and Adair Lyden were on site at the ARP course this afternoon to get a feel for the atmosphere and talk top story lines we can expect to see tomorrow. 

Here is everything you need to know in terms of logistics for tomorrow's state final. We have all the information from admission fees, parking fees, weather, and parking maps. 

This is it! All of the Region races have concluded and we are headed to Tallahassee for the 2018 FHSAA Cross Country State Finals! Let's see who our pollsters rank as the top teams and individuals heading into this year's championship!

Bring out the history books! There is a strong chance we could see a few state records go down this year at the 2018 FHSAA state final.
