Mary Summers stays first in Class 1A on figure with Emma Wilkinson and eighth-grader Charlotte Roy behind her; Brianna Bergin ran her best race at Weeki Wachee and moves up to seventh.
Florida Class 1A girls cross country through six weeks: August 21-September 26, 2026
The top five did not race this weekend and do not move. Mary Summers of Seven Rivers Christian, a sophomore, has not raced since August 29. She still has the best season figure in the class, and a missed week is never held against anyone. Emma Wilkinson of Lakeland Christian, a junior, and Charlotte Roy of All Saints', an eighth grader, are second and third. They were two tenths apart at St. Cloud, with Wilkinson in front.
Brianna Bergin of Carrollwood, a senior, was second at the Weeki Wachee Invitational on Saturday in 19:53.9, the best run of her season on a course that reads slow. Bergin moves past Taylor Geraghty of Holy Trinity, an eighth grader, on figure. Geraghty is eighth, with her win in the Spanish River 1A-2A race in 18:50.7. Last week she was sixth on a call over three girls who beat her at Cecil Field on opening night. From this week opening-weekend results no longer order anyone, so that call is no longer needed.
A runner is ranked on her whole season, with the most recent race counting most, and a race she won never counts against her. This is data plus judgment, and we will miss somebody along the way. How we sorted everybody out is at the bottom.
The statewide lists: week 6 girls top 10 and week 6 boys top 10. Last week's version of this list is here. The other class lists this week: 1A boys, 2A girls, 3A girls, 4A girls.
1. Mary Summers, Seven Rivers Christian, So.
Has not raced since August 29. Won Lecanto on August 22 in 18:32.9 and was fourth at Whispering Pines a week later in 18:39.3, behind three of the best girls in the state. Her season figure, about 18:39 at Cecil Field, is still the best in the class, and a missed week is never held against anyone. First.
2. Emma Wilkinson, Lakeland Christian, Jr.
Did not race. Second at the Raider Open on September 19 in 18:29.7, behind Madison Muller of Riverview 4A; that course has no girls' reading we trust, so the time is printed and not converted. Second at St. Cloud in 18:28.3, two tenths ahead of Roy, and a win at Lake Region. Second.
3. Charlotte Roy, All Saints', 8th grade
Did not race. Won the SSAA Championship on September 19 in 19:22.1, ahead of Naeha Akella. Third at St. Cloud in 18:28.5, two tenths behind Wilkinson. An eighth grader running third in the class. Third.
4. Joanie Webb, Donahue Academy, Fr.
Did not race. Won the Fort Myers XC Invite on September 12 in 20:07.5 out of 205, ahead of Emily Del Mazo, on a course that reads slow, worth about 19:25 at Cecil Field. Won Lehigh in August. Two races, two wins, as a freshman. Fourth.
5. Naeha Akella, St. Stephen's Episcopal, Sr.
Did not race. Second at the SSAA Championship behind Roy in 19:43.6, and fifth at IMGA Summit in 18:38.6, ahead of Alexandra Middleton. Fifth.
6. Alexandra Middleton, Indian Rocks Christian, Jr.
Did not race. Seventh at the North Port Invite on September 19 in 19:16.0 out of 144, and third at Seffner Christian, ahead of Bergin. Akella beat her at IMGA Summit. Sixth.
7. Brianna Bergin, Carrollwood, Sr.
Second at the Weeki Wachee Invitational on Saturday in 19:53.9 out of 111, behind Lauren Murphy of Trinity Catholic 2A. The course reads slow, so it is worth about 19:11 at Cecil Field, the best run of her season. Third at Nature Coast, 17th at the Horse Park in 19:27.5. Middleton beat her at Seffner Christian. Eighth to seventh.
8. Taylor Geraghty, Holy Trinity, 8th grade
Did not race. Won the Spanish River 1A-2A race on September 18 in 18:50.7 out of 301, ahead of Claire Chanon and Giuliana Serra of Cardinal Gibbons 2A. Fifth at Astronaut. Faith Dykens, Catherine Staten and Ella Rose Hanna beat her at Cecil Field on opening night, and those results no longer order the list. Sixth to eighth, behind Middleton and Bergin on figure.
9. Emily Del Mazo, Community School (Naples), 7th grade
Did not race. Won Cape Coral in 20:08.7 and was second at the Fort Myers XC Invite behind Webb. A seventh grader. Ninth.
10. Rachel Judy, Master's Academy (Oviedo), Sr.
Did not race. Won Trinity Prep in 20:40.1 and was second at DeLand on September 5 in 19:49.1, behind Peyton Cerasi of Matanzas 4A. Tenth.
Just missed
Faith Dykens (Cornerstone Classical, Fr.) was seventh in the Bale-N-Trail Elite race on Saturday in 19:31.9, ahead of Ella Rose Hanna (St. Johns Country Day, So., tenth in 19:40.3) and Catherine Staten (St. Johns Country Day, So., 13th in 19:46.2). Abigail Love (Cornerstone Classical, Fr.) was 15th there, and Sara Palmer (Providence, Sr.) was second at Coach Hope.
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 runners who raced both that course and last year's state meet to work out what a time was worth.
- A runner is ranked on her whole season, weighted toward the most recent race: this week counts six times, last week five, and so on back to opening weekend, which counts once. A race she won is never allowed to lower that figure.
- A head-to-head loss stands until the two runners meet again, whatever either has run elsewhere since. Where results form a loop, the most recent meeting decides. A runner who beat someone ranked above her moves up to that runner's spot.
- New this week: results from opening weekend, Cecil Field on August 21 and Jim Ryun on August 22, no longer order runners. Six weeks in, kids have improved, and a finish from the first weekend of the season should not pin anybody below a runner who beat them in August. Those times still count in the season figure.
- A missed week is never held against anyone.
- Grades and classes are 2026-27, resolved against the FHSAA classification documents.
- Summers is first on her season figure and has not raced since August 29. A missed week is never held against anyone; the day she races the girls below her, the grass decides.
- The Raider Open has no girls' course reading we trust (the readings disagree by more than two minutes), so Wilkinson's 18:29.7 there is printed and not converted. Weeki Wachee read about 43 seconds slow for girls.
