Carrollton and Episcopal stay one-two in the Class 2A girls team rankings, Berkeley Prep and Montverde move up after the flrunners.com Race of Champions, and Calvary Christian Academy comes into the ten.
Florida Class 2A girls cross country team rankings through seven weeks: August 21-October 3, 2026
Carrollton did not race and holds first, four points ahead of Episcopal, which was 17th of 41 in the COROS Race of Champions at the Great American XC Festival in North Carolina, eight points ahead of Spanish River of 4A. Stella Krueger, the new No. 1 in 2A, was Episcopal's first runner.
The flrunners.com Race of Champions sorted the middle of the list. Berkeley Prep was third, Montverde fifth, Calvary Christian Academy of Fort Lauderdale 12th and Cardinal Gibbons 16th, and those four go in that order. Cardinal Newman holds above Ransom Everglades on their Spanish River result.
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 girls team top 10 and Week 7 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
- Berkeley Prep over Cardinal Gibbons: 3rd and 16th at the flrunners.com Invitational, and neither has raced its top runners since.
- Montverde Academy over Cardinal Gibbons: 5th and 16th at the flrunners.com Invitational, and neither has raced its top runners since.
- West Shore over Edgewood: 2nd and 3rd at the Rockledge Raider Classic, and neither has raced its top runners since.
- Calvary Christian Academy over Cardinal Gibbons: 12th and 16th at the flrunners.com Invitational, and neither has raced its top runners since.
- Cardinal Newman over Ransom Everglades: Cardinal Newman 83, Ransom Everglades 86 in the Class 2A scoring of the Spanish River Invitational on Sept. 18; the timer scored it by class, so the engine cannot see the meeting, and neither has met the other since.

Free to read, no paywall. Every Class 2A girls 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 her 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 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. 91 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 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.
- Cardinal Newman over Ransom Everglades: 83 to 86 in the Class 2A scoring of the Spanish River Invitational on September 18. The timer scored it by class, so the engine cannot see the meeting.
Every result behind this list is in the rankings section, and the full weekend is in the weekend recap.
