Week 2 Class 1A Girls Top 10: Florida Cross Country Rankings

Florida Class 1A girls cross country through two weeks: August 21-29, 2026

The best runner in this class got demoted on the statewide list this week without running badly, and the bottom half of this one got invaded by middle schoolers. An eighth grader finished eight seconds behind the 2A state champion on Saturday. A seventh grader won a varsity race outright in Cape Coral. Neither of them was on anybody's radar two weeks ago, and both of them are ranked now, because 1A is the class where the private school rosters run young and the FHSAA lets them.

As always, this is data plus judgment, and we will miss somebody along the way. A (P) next to a name means she has not opened yet and we are going on last November. How we sorted it out is at the bottom. Races are not won until the kids have run. Enjoy.

The statewide lists: Week 2 girls top 10 and Week 2 boys top 10. The week 1 edition of this list is here, and the 1A girls team rankings from week 1 are here. The other classes this week: 1A boys, 2A girls, 3A girls and 4A girls.

1. Mary Summers, Seven Rivers Christian (Lecanto), So.

Two things happened to Summers this week and only one of them was a race. The race: she got her first real field at the Whispering Pines Invitational and finished fourth in 18:39.3, behind three of the best girls in Florida. The other thing: the Lecanto course rating that priced her opener at 18:06 was corrected, and her win there is now worth about 18:29. On the statewide list, that dropped her from fourth to tenth.

Here, it changes nothing. She is still the best small-school runner in Florida by half a minute, 18:29 followed by 18:44 in eight days is a normal August for a sophomore, and no other 1A girl has come within half a minute of her best mark. The full story of the correction is in the statewide girls article, and it is the biggest single change we have made all season.

2. Emma Wilkinson, Lakeland Christian, Jr.

Two races, two wins. Wilkinson followed her week-one run at Ragin' Storm with a win at the Lake Region Invitational in 18:57.7, and the two performances level out within a few seconds of each other, both right around 19:02. She was sixth in 1A at state in 19:00.0, she is running exactly that fit in August, and she is the closest thing Summers has to a problem in this class. It is not very close yet.

3. Rachel Judy, The Master's Academy (Oviedo), Sr.

The projection turned into a result. Judy, ranked third a week ago on the 18:46.6 that made her fifth in 1A at state, opened by winning the Trinity Prep Invite in 20:40.1. The raw time reads badly and means nothing: Trinity Prep ran well over a minute slow, and priced honestly her race is worth about 19:17. That defends the ranking, a win is a win, and she holds third with a number instead of a guess next to her name.

One housekeeping note: the returner file lists her school as the Vero Beach campus, and week one printed it that way. She runs for The Master's Academy in Oviedo. Both are 1A, so nothing about the ranking changes.

4. Charlotte Roy, All Saints' (Winter Haven), 8th grade

The line of the week in this class. Roy finished second at the Kowboy Invitational in 19:14.4, eight seconds behind Selah Vignier of West Shore 2A, the defending 2A state champion, and clear of everybody else in the field. She is in eighth grade.

The Kowboy course ran slightly quick, so the mark is worth a shade less than it reads, call it 19:24 on the cautious end. It does not matter much. An eighth grader hanging within eight seconds of a state champion is not a course artifact, and she has four more years to make this paragraph look conservative. She has no state history to check against, because she has never had a varsity season before.

5. Emily Del Mazo-Collado, Community School (Naples), 7th grade

And one grade below Roy, a race winner. Del Mazo-Collado won the Cape Coral Seahawk Invite outright in 20:08.7, sixteen seconds ahead of a field with 3A varsity runners in it. Cape Coral ran slow, and on the least generous reading of the course her run is worth about 19:30. A seventh grader winning a varsity invitational is rare enough to rank on one race, and we are doing it with the caution that one race deserves.

6. Noelle Richardson, Westminster Academy, Sr.

Idle in week two. Her 19:36 at Cecil Field, five seconds faster than her state time in the deepest field any 1A girl has seen this season, remains the best mark in the class run on the yardstick course. She gives up four spots' worth of style points to the newcomers and none of the substance: nobody above her except Summers has beaten her on a course that needed no adjusting.

7. Emma Akhundjanov, Providence (Jacksonville), So.

Also idle, also holding. Her 19:43 at Cecil, seven seconds behind Richardson in the same race, still stands 36 seconds up on her freshman state time. The sophomores in this class, Summers, Akhundjanov, Lubke, are stacking up as the group that will own it for the next two years.

8. Avery Gervais, The Master's Academy (Oviedo), Jr.

Judy's teammate, and the biggest single move on this page. Gervais was third at the Trinity Prep Invite in 21:08.5, which prices out around 19:45, against the 21:54.9 she ran at state last fall. That is more than two minutes of improvement once the course is leveled, from a girl who was 75th on the 1A returner list. The Master's Academy suddenly has two ranked runners and a real team argument.

9. Adelyn Lubke, Indian Rocks Christian, So. (P)

Eighth in 1A at state as a freshman in 19:21.8, and still the best November mark in the class that has not been taken out for a run in 2026. Indian Rocks stayed home again. The projection is good enough to hold ninth, and it now has five raced results above it that used to be below it.

10. Joanie Webb, Donahue Academy, Fr.

Her week-one win at the Lehigh Invite, worth about 19:55 leveled, keeps the last spot. She did not race in week two. A freshman who wins her first high school race by fifteen seconds does not need to do anything else in August, and with Roy and Del Mazo-Collado arriving below her age bracket, the youth movement in this class now runs three grades deep.

Just missed

Jacquelyn Perrin (St. Edwards, Vero Beach, Jr.) and Naeha Akella (St. Stephens, Bradenton, Sr.) are the projections squeezed off the page. Neither has raced; both were in the ten a week ago; five girls posted results past them. That is how a list is supposed to work in a racing week, and both are one good opener from coming right back.

Kaitlyn Conboy (Circle Christian, 7th grade), ninth a week ago, is bumped to eleventh by the new arrivals without racing. She, Roy and Del Mazo-Collado could make the 2029 version of this list a middle school reunion. Sofia Boussouf (Classical Academy, Sarasota, So.) was fourth at the North Port Preserve Pursuit in 19:39.5, but North Port runs fast and the leveled mark is around 20:13, just outside.

Natalie Kay (Oak Hall, Jr.) ran 20:16.3 at Whispering Pines, a solid opener with no state history behind it. Her teammate Reese Allen, the closest call in week one, raced the same meet well off her November form and drops out of range for now, on the same rule as everybody: the August number is the number once you have had the chance to run one.

How we ranked them

• Courses do not all run the same speed, so we do not compare raw times. Cecil Field is the yardstick; for other meets we use girls who raced both that course and last year's state meet to work out what a time was worth.
• The girls' fields run noticeably slower in August than at state in November, and that gap is built into every number here.
• Girls who have not opened are ranked on last November and marked (P). Girls who raced and came up short of their November mark are ranked on what they ran.
• Trinity Prep, Kowboy and Cape Coral are new courses this week. Trinity Prep and Cape Coral run slow, Kowboy runs slightly fast, and where a course rating had any wobble in it we took the least generous reading. Roy and Del Mazo-Collado are both ranked on the cautious end of their conversions.
• Eighth and seventh graders are eligible on varsity at private schools, which is why Roy, Del Mazo-Collado and Conboy appear here. Middle school rankings proper are a separate list.
• School correction from week one: Rachel Judy and Avery Gervais run for The Master's Academy in Oviedo, not the Vero Beach campus the returner file lists. Both schools are 1A.
• Grades and classes are 2026-27.

Summers gets a quiet week while the rest of the state heads to Ocala. The Horse Park preview is here, and the complete week 2 recap, all nineteen meets, is here.
