Week 8 Class 1A Girls Team Top 10: Florida Cross Country Rankings

Florida Class 1A girls cross country team rankings through eight weeks: August 21-October 10, 2026

The FSU Pre-State Invitational, the biggest meet of the fall, was canceled for Hurricane Isaias, and most of the state's best teams did not race. A team that sat out the weekend holds its place.

Oak Hall was second of 13 at HMT in Gainesville with 55, behind Creekside of 4A, with Natalie Kay and Madeline Kay fifth and seventh. All Saints' won its own meet in Winter Haven with 34, Kylie Cook first. Cornerstone Classical was fourth of nine at JAC with 114 and is now 11 points of figure ahead of Westminster Academy, which did not race; that is not enough to pass a team it has not met, so Westminster holds fifth.

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 8 girls team top 10 and Week 8 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.

Where the virtual race disagrees with this list

Westminster Academy over Cornerstone Classical: Westminster Academy did not race this weekend and holds its place; Cornerstone's fourth at JAC puts it 11 points ahead on the figure, which is not enough to pass a team it has not met.
All Saints' over Westminster Academy: All Saints' stays ahead of Westminster Academy, where it was last week: it won its home meet on Saturday, and the two have not met.

Up next

Most of the state's top teams race this weekend at the New World Fall Spectacular, October 16-17 at Cecil Field in Jacksonville. Next week's lists will lean heavily on it.

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 eight times, last week seven, 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. 88 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.
Results from September 12 and earlier no longer order teams. The times still count in the figures.
The FSU Pre-State Invitational, the biggest meet of the fall, was canceled for Hurricane Isaias. A team that did not race this weekend holds its place.
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.
Westminster Academy over Cornerstone Classical is the hold rule: a team that sat out is not passed on a few points of figure by a team it has not met.

Every result behind this list is in the rankings section, and the full weekend is in the weekend recap.
