Holy Trinity won Astronaut with 66 and holds first, Oak Hall was second at Buchholz behind Bishop Kenny and moves to second, All Saints' won the JT Memorial, and Southwest Florida Christian jumps from tenth to fourth.
Florida Class 1A girls cross country team rankings through four weeks: August 21-September 12, 2026
Holy Trinity won the Astronaut Invitational with 66 in a 17-team field, Taylor Geraghty fifth in 19:42.7 and Kelly Geraghty eighth, and a win is never held against a team, so the run that ranks them is still Indian River. Oak Hall was second at the Buchholz Bobcats Classic with 79 behind Bishop Kenny 3A, seventh grader Natalie Kay tenth in 20:07.1, and moves from fourth to second on a 0:45.5 spread, the tightest in the class. All Saints' won the JT Memorial with 39 on Kylie Cook's 19:04.2 and is third. Southwest Florida Christian was second at the Fort Myers XC Invite with 114 and moves from tenth to fourth, above Community School of Naples, which was fourth there with 162 after three of its runners did not finish. Westminster Academy, second a week ago, won the Kings Academy Invitational with 64 on a course priced at its least generous reading and drops out of the ten.
A team is ranked on its whole season, with the most recent race counting most, and a meet it won never counts against it. The virtual race behind these scores contains only Class 1A teams, so a team's place here and on the statewide list can differ. As always, this is data plus judgment, and we will miss somebody along the way. A (P) beside a team means it has not put its returning five on a starting line and is entered on what they ran last November. How we sorted it out is at the bottom. Races are not won until the kids have run. Enjoy.
About the times. The average on each line is the season figure the scoring uses, in Cecil Field terms. The times next to each runner are season figures too; the race log for every runner is on the rankings page.
The statewide lists: Week 4 girls team top 10 and Week 4 boys team top 10. The 1A girls individuals are here, and the week 3 edition of this list is here. The other classes this week: 1A boys, 2A girls, 3A girls, 4A girls.
1. Holy Trinity (Melbourne) -- 76 points
Season average 20:19.1 · 1-5 spread 1:50.9 · finished 4-7-17-18-30 in the class · This week: 1st of 17 at the Astronaut Invitational (66). Won in week 2; that run is not held against them.

Every one of the five ran the best time of her season on a slow course, so this win counts; the Indian River win before it is left out because it would lower the figure.

Fifth to third, with a 3:34.6 spread that Roy closes by two minutes.

Where the virtual race disagrees with this list
- Southwest Florida Christian over Community School: 2nd and 4th at the Fort Myers XC Invite, and neither has raced since.
How we ranked them
- Every mark is converted to a Cecil Field equivalent through the runners who ran both that course and last year's state meet. The girls' field ran about half a minute slower in August than at state, and that is removed before a course is rated.
- Each runner is scored on her whole season, weighted toward the most recent race: this week counts four times, last week three, week two twice, opening weekend once. A race she won never lowers that figure, and a meet a team won never lowers the team's. A school's five best runners on that basis are its team.
- Those five, with a sixth and seventh where they exist, go into one virtual race against every other Class 1A team and are scored the way cross country is scored: top five count, sixth and seventh displace, five finishers required, low score wins. 75 1A girls teams cleared the bar; 3 of them are projections. Scores climb every week as more teams enter and are not comparable to last week's; compare the order and the averages.
- Where two teams in this class have raced each other with at least three of their scoring seven, and neither has raced since, the team that won ranks ahead of the team it beat. Those moves are listed above.
- A team whose returning five have not raced is entered on last November's state times and marked (P). A returner who has raced for another school this season is not projected at the old one.
- Classes are 2026-27, resolved against the FHSAA classification documents.
