Holy Trinity of Melbourne holds first in the Class 1A girls team rankings after racing at the Great American XC Festival, Oak Hall is second, and Westminster Academy comes into the ten at fifth.
Florida Class 1A girls cross country team rankings through seven weeks: August 21-October 3, 2026
Holy Trinity went to North Carolina and was tenth of 47 teams in the Blue Invitational at the Great American XC Festival with 366. Taylor Geraghty, an eighth grader, was second of 357 in 18:34.3, and her sister Kelly, a freshman, was 21st. Holy Trinity stays first.
Westminster Academy of Fort Lauderdale comes in at fifth. It won its own meet on Monday and was third of 21 at the South Fork Invitational on Saturday. St. Johns Country Day won the Indian Invite with 31, and Indian Rocks Christian was second at Don Bishop, four points behind Newsome.
A team is ranked on its whole season, with the most recent race counting most, and a meet it won never counts against it. A team that sat out the weekend is not marked down for 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.
About the times. The average on each line is the converted season figure the scoring uses, in Cecil Field terms, and so are the times beside each runner's name. Times in the write-ups are what the kids actually ran that day; the race log for every runner is on the rankings page.
The statewide lists: Week 7 girls team top 10 and Week 7 boys team top 10. The 1A girls individuals are here, and last week’s edition of this list is here. The other classes this week: 1A boys, 2A girls, 3A girls, 4A girls.

Free to read, no paywall. Every Class 1A girls team race this season went into this list, and every team result was checked by hand. If it helps your team, you can buy us a coffee.
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.
- Each runner is scored on her whole season, weighted toward the most recent race: this week counts seven times, last week six, and so on back to opening weekend, which counts 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, scored the way cross country is scored. 86 1A girls teams cleared the bar; 2 of them are projections. Points climb as more teams enter and are not comparable to last week's; compare the order.
- Where two teams in this class have raced each other with at least three of their scoring seven, the team that won ranks ahead of the team it beat until they meet again. Where results go round in a circle, the newest meeting decides. A race run without a team's No. 1 or without two of its scoring five is not held against it.
- New this week: results from September 12 and earlier no longer order teams. The times still count in the figures.
- A team whose returning five have not raced is entered on last November's state times and marked (P).
- Classes are 2026-27, resolved against the FHSAA classification documents.
Every result behind this list is in the rankings section, and the full weekend is in the weekend recap.
