Bolles leads the Class 2A boys team rankings, Gulliver Prep is second, Calvary Christian of Clearwater was third in the flrunners.com Race of Champions, and Pine Crest comes into the ten.
Florida Class 2A boys cross country team rankings through seven weeks: August 21-October 3, 2026
Bolles did not race its varsity this weekend and stays well clear in first. It won Bale-N-Trail on September 26 with 41. Gulliver Prep is second. Calvary Christian of Clearwater was third of 17 in the Race of Champions at the flrunners.com Invitational with 141 and holds third.
Pine Crest was second of 27 teams at the South Fork Invitational behind a freshman, Emilio Tobon, and comes in at seventh. Dunedin stays above McKeel on their meeting at Mitchell on September 19. Episcopal of Jacksonville raced in Georgia and holds tenth.
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 2A 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 boys team top 10 and Week 7 girls team top 10. The 2A boys individuals are here, and last week’s edition of this list is here. The other classes this week: 2A girls, 1A boys, 3A boys, 4A boys.

Where the virtual race disagrees with this list
- Dunedin over McKeel: 3rd and 4th at the Mitchell Mustang Invite, and neither has raced its top runners since.
Reader supported
Free to read, no paywall. Every Class 2A boys 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 his 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 he 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 2A team, scored the way cross country is scored. 116 2A boys teams cleared the bar; 0 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.
- Dunedin over McKeel: Dunedin won their meeting at Mitchell on September 19, 78 to 111, and they have not met since.
Every result behind this list is in the rankings section, and the full weekend is in the weekend recap.
