The orange line is the state cut: the top eight teams go to Tallahassee.
This was the race we circled, and it went to form. Geraghty ran 19:01.1, Summers 19:14.4 and Master's Academy senior Rachel Judy 19:39.5. Her teammate Avery Gervais was fourth in 20:08.8. Those are the same top four we had, in the same order.
Summers, Judy and Gervais go to state as individuals. Because Wildwood made the top eight, eighth-grader Makya Rivenburg (seventh) goes with her team, and the fourth individual spot went to Peniel Baptist senior Mary Huntley, 15th in a season best of 21:59.4.
Father Lopez's Lucy Fulton was the first runner out, 18th in 22:28.6.
