Week 6 Class 2A girls cross country team rankings for Florida: Carrollton wins STU and stays first, Episcopal and Bolles hold second and third, and the top ten is unchanged.
Florida Class 2A girls cross country team rankings through six weeks: August 21-September 26, 2026
The 2A girls top ten did not change this week. Carrollton won the STU Bobcat Invitational with 24 points, four runners in the top six. Ransom Everglades was second there, and Julianna Hart won the race in 19:27.8. Cardinal Newman was fifth at Jensen Beach without its No. 1, Tessa Brown.
Episcopal and Bolles sent their top groups to Bale-N-Trail to run together in the grade races. Those packs are not scored for or against the teams, so both hold their spots.
Pre-State is two weeks out, and Carrollton, Episcopal and Bolles have not all been on the same course yet.
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 6 girls team top 10 and Week 6 boys team top 10. The 2A girls individuals are here, and last week’s edition of this list is here. The other classes this week: 2A boys, 1A girls, 3A girls, 4A girls.

Where the virtual race disagrees with this list
- West Shore over Edgewood: 2nd and 3rd at the Rockledge Raider Classic, and neither has raced its top runners since.
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 six times, last week five, 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 2A team, scored the way cross country is scored. 90 2A girls 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. New this week: a win keeps counting when the winner races again, and a team that sat out the weekend does not lose ground to a team that beat nobody it had to beat. A race run without a team's No. 1 or without two of its scoring five is not held against it.
- 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.
Florida Runners is next weekend, then Pre-State, and the Great American is on the way. Every result behind this list is in the rankings section, and the full weekend is in the weekend recap.
