Holy Trinity won the 1A scoring at Spanish River behind the Geraghty sisters and leads by 63 points, All Saints' won the SSAA Championship, Indian Rocks Christian climbs to fifth after North Port, and Southwest Florida Christian falls from fourth to ninth.
Florida Class 1A girls cross country team rankings through five weeks: August 21-September 19, 2026
Holy Trinity went to Boca Raton on Friday and won the Class 1A scoring of the Spanish River Invitational with 21 points: Taylor Geraghty first in 18:50.7, Kelly Geraghty fourth in 19:29.6, Abby Connors eleventh in 20:04.4, Juelle Maaser 21st in 20:29.8, Caleigh Schmoll 27th in 21:05.6, in a 301-girl race. Westminster Academy was next in the 1A scoring with 77. The Indian River win from week 2 is the one left out, because it would lower the figure. First by 63 points.
All Saints' won the SSAA Championship with 27 behind Charlotte Roy's win and is fourth. Community School of Naples is third without a full team race, and that is Southwest Florida Christian's move, not theirs: the Fort Myers finish that put Southwest Florida Christian above Community School held only while neither team raced on a rated course, and Southwest Florida Christian ran Spanish River on Friday with three of its five in the middle school race instead. The season figures order the two now, and they have Community School third and Southwest Florida Christian ninth.
Indian Rocks Christian was seventh at the North Port Invite with 158 in an 18-team field, the best finish by a 1A team there, and climbs from ninth to fifth. Seacoast Collegiate comes in at tenth without racing; Maclay was 18th in the Southern Showcase championship race and drops to eleventh. This is data and judgment, and we will miss somebody.
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 5 girls team top 10 and Week 5 boys team top 10. The 1A girls individuals are here, and the week 4 edition of this list is here. The other classes this week: 1A boys, 2A girls, 3A girls, 4A girls.
1. Holy Trinity (Melbourne): 101 points
Season average 20:26.2 · 1-5 spread 2:02.9 · finished 3-10-22-26-40 in the class Won in week 2; that run is not held against them.
Taylor Geraghty 19:22.3; Kelly Geraghty 19:57.7; Abby Connors 20:36.1; Juelle Maaser 20:50.0; Caleigh Schmoll 21:25.2.
Won the Class 1A scoring of the Spanish River Invitational with 21: Taylor Geraghty first in 18:50.7 out of 301, Kelly Geraghty fourth in 19:29.6, Abby Connors eleventh in 20:04.4, Juelle Maaser 21st in 20:29.8, Caleigh Schmoll 27th in 21:05.6. Westminster Academy was next in the 1A scoring with 77. An eighth grader and a freshman up front and all five inside 21:06 on a fast-reading course; the Indian River win is the one dropped because it would lower the figure. First by 63 points.
2. Oak Hall (Gainesville): 164 points
Season average 21:07.2 · 1-5 spread 0:45.5 · finished 23-28-32-38-43 in the class
Reese Allen 20:44.5; Lola Murfee 20:54.5; Natalie Kay 21:08.8; Macie Bell 21:18.0; Madeline Kay 21:30.0.
Did not race. Reese Allen 20:44.5, Lola Murfee 20:54.5, Natalie Kay 21:08.8, Macie Bell 21:18.0, Madeline Kay 21:30.0 on the season, a 0:45.5 spread that is still the tightest in the class top ten. Whispering Pines, the Horse Park, Buchholz, and nothing since September 12. Second, where they were.
3. Community School (Naples): 201 points
Season average 21:13.9 · 1-5 spread 2:28.3 · finished 6-20-53-54-68 in the class
Emily Del Mazo 19:46.4; Anna Kate Casto 20:34.0; Bri Gladstein 21:45.3; Rose O'Malley 21:49.1; Lilly Stanosheck 22:14.7.
Sent three girls to the North Port Invite without Emily Del Mazo: Anna Kate Casto 17th in the elite race in 19:48.6, Lilly Stanosheck did not finish, and no team score. The five on the season are Del Mazo 19:46.4, Casto 20:34.0, Bri Gladstein 21:45.3, Rose O'Malley 21:49.1 and Stanosheck 22:14.7. Fifth to third on Southwest Florida Christian's move: the Fort Myers finish that ordered the two expired when Southwest Florida Christian raced Spanish River, and on the season figures Community School is 72 seconds a runner better.
4. All Saints' (Winter Haven): 206 points
Season average 21:05.4 · 1-5 spread 3:34.6 · finished 2-11-36-77-80 in the class · This week: 1st of 9 at the SSAA Championship (27). Won in week 5; that run is not held against them.
Charlotte Roy 18:58.0; Kylie Cook 20:10.6; Lindsey Cook 21:17.2; Julia Marra Andrade 22:28.8; Savannah Simonds 22:32.7.
Won the SSAA Championship with 27 over St. Stephen's Episcopal's 56 in a nine-team field: Charlotte Roy first in 19:22.1, Kylie Cook fourth in 20:41.3, Julia Marra Andrade eighth in 22:29.5, Savannah Simonds ninth in 22:29.8, Lindsey Cook eleventh in 22:55.3. The course reads a few seconds slow, and the win is left out because it would lower the figure; the JT Memorial win the week before is the one that counts. Third to fourth as Community School went past on figure, and the 3:34.6 spread from Roy to the fifth girl is the reason.
5. Indian Rocks Christian (Largo): 324 points
Season average 21:48.6 · 1-5 spread 3:39.8 · finished 8-24-55-100-137 in the class · This week: 7th of 18 at the North Port Invite (158).
Alexandra Middleton 19:54.6; Adelyn Lubke 20:44.9; Sage Bonham 21:49.2; Makena Webb 23:00.1; Emma Tress 23:34.4.
Seventh at the North Port Invite with 158 in an 18-team field, the best finish by a 1A team in the race: Alexandra Middleton seventh in 19:16.0, Adelyn Lubke 14th in 19:34.1, Sage Bonham 35th in 21:00.7, Makena Webb 60th in 22:14.5, Emma Tress 71st in 22:40.2. Every one of the five ran faster on the clock than she had at the IMGA Summit, on a course that reads fast. Ninth to fifth, and the 3:39.8 spread behind the front two is the widest in the top five.
6. Cornerstone Classical (Jacksonville): 334 points
Season average 21:52.3 · 1-5 spread 3:13.0 · finished 16-27-34-119-138 in the class
Faith Dykens 20:23.0; Abigail Love 20:50.3; Molly Kline 21:11.8; Peyton Leavitt 23:20.5; Elle Zimmer 23:36.0.
Did not race its high school team; nothing since Cecil Field on August 21, and the middle schoolers were second at the Katie Caples Middle School Meet. Faith Dykens 20:23.0, Abigail Love 20:50.3, Molly Kline 21:11.8, Peyton Leavitt 23:20.5, Elle Zimmer 23:36.0. Eighth to sixth on a month-old number, as Southwest Florida Christian and Providence dropped below them.
7. St. Johns Country Day (Orange Park): 370 points
Season average 22:03.2 · 1-5 spread 3:23.3 · finished 17-21-87-91-154 in the class · This week: 9th of 11 at the Katie Caples Invitational (240).
Catherine Staten 20:25.7; Ella Rose Hanna 20:34.5; Eleanor Myers 22:40.3; Graham Morris 22:46.5; Lillian Hanna 23:49.0.
Ninth at the Katie Caples Invitational elite race with 240 in an 11-team field: Catherine Staten 25th in 19:55, Ella Rose Hanna 27th in 20:04, Eleanor Myers 69th in 22:04, Graham Morris 72nd in 22:09, Lillian Hanna 88th in 23:33. Katie Caples reads about half a minute fast for girls, so the two up front leveled close to their Cecil Field figures. First race since August 21. Seventh, where they were, on a 3:23.3 spread.
8. Providence (Jacksonville): 425 points
Season average 22:11.7 · 1-5 spread 4:07.7 · finished 7-30-64-160-164 in the class Won in week 4; that run is not held against them.
Emma Akhundjanov 19:53.4; Sara Palmer 21:01.6; Katie Cunningham 22:04.5; Gigi Akhundjanov 23:57.9; Lyla Frady 24:01.1.
Did not race. Emma Akhundjanov 19:53.4, Sara Palmer 21:01.6, Katie Cunningham 22:04.5, Gigi Akhundjanov 23:57.9, Lyla Frady 24:01.1: Cecil Field and the Horse Park, and nothing since September 5. A meet they won in week 4 is not held against them. Sixth to eighth on a 4:07.7 spread, the widest in the ten; the fourth and fifth girls are nearly two minutes behind the third.
9. Southwest Florida Christian (Fort Myers): 434 points
Season average 22:26.0 · 1-5 spread 2:57.9 · finished 25-42-74-145-148 in the class
Ayla Tobias 20:47.4; Jayden Wilkins 21:29.0; Noelani Love 22:26.4; Julianna Idle 23:42.0; Shiloah Love 23:45.3.
Fourth in the Class 1A scoring of the Spanish River Invitational with 135, behind Holy Trinity, Westminster Academy and Pine School: Ayla Tobias 19th in 20:22.8, Jayden Wilkins 37th in 21:51.3, then Emma Morrell, Ivy Flood and Reagan Mahoney from 25:15.7 to 30:15.3. Noelani Love, Julianna Idle and Shiloah Love, three of the scoring five on the season, ran the middle school 3k in Boca Raton instead. Fourth to ninth: the Fort Myers finish over Community School held only while neither team raced on a rated course, and once they ran Spanish River the season figures took over, and those have Community School 72 seconds a runner better.
10. Seacoast Collegiate (Santa Rosa Beach): 471 points
Season average 22:37.7 · 1-5 spread 2:21.6 · finished 50-51-58-144-168 in the class

Did not race; nothing since Pace on September 5. Norah Trejo 21:42.5, McKenna Wilson 21:44.7 and Brinkley Cooley 21:55.3 inside 13 seconds of each other, then Emry Rieben 23:41.8 and Kenadi Luskey 24:04.1. Three girls close together and a gap of nearly two minutes to the fourth. Eleventh a week ago, tenth now as Maclay ran the Showcase and dropped out.
Just missed
11. Maclay (Tallahassee), 490, was 18th of 19 in the Southern Showcase championship race with 485, Madison McVay 93rd in 21:30.4, and drops out of the ten. 12. St. John Paul II (Tallahassee), 528, is new to the fourteen. 13. Circle Christian (Winter Park), 530, was second at the Bulldog Invitational with 45 behind Kaitlyn Conboy's win, on a course that runs nearly three minutes slow for girls. 14. Lakeland Christian, 558, was second at the Raider Open with 60 behind Emma Wilkinson, on a course we could not price.
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 five times, last week four, week three three times, 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. 84 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 on a rated course 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.
- Spanish River scored its meet by FHSAA class, so the engine saw no team rows there. The 1A scoring (Holy Trinity 21, Westminster Academy 77, Pine School 97, Southwest Florida Christian 135) is quoted from the meet.
- Southwest Florida Christian's Fort Myers finish over Community School ordered the two a week ago. That rule holds only while neither team has raced on a rated course; Spanish River is rated, so this week the season figures order them.
- The Southern Showcase is rated and Maclay's run there counts. The Raider Open is not rated this week, so Lakeland Christian's figure is unchanged by its second place there.
