FHSAA 2A Region 1 preview for Friday at Cecil Field: Bolles and Episcopal girls were one point apart at district, the Bolles boys scored 18, and Pensacola Catholic fights for the last state spot. Every qualifier checked against FHSAA's list.
FHSAA Class 2A Region 1 | Friday, November 13 | Cecil Field, Jacksonville
One point. That was the gap between Bolles and Episcopal at the 2A District 2 meet at Cecil Field last Friday, 30 to 31. This Friday the two Jacksonville girls teams line up on the same course again.
Bolles comes in as the No. 1 girls team in Florida on our latest statewide list, led by Sofie Stam, who won district in 18:18.0. Episcopal answered that day with five runners in the top ten. Both should be going to state. The regional title, and the first word before Tallahassee, is what's left to settle.
The boys race has a clear favorite. Bolles scored 18 at district, Aaron Ches and Armaan Sharma crossed together in 16:04.0, and five Bolles runners finished in the top six. The fight is further back, where District 1 champion Pensacola Catholic looks like it is racing P. K. Yonge for the last of eight team tickets to state.
District 2 raced this exact course a week ago. District 1 ran its meet at Apalachee Regional Park in Tallahassee, the state course, so the Panhandle teams have already seen where this ends.

What's at stake
The top eight teams and the top four individuals not on those teams go to the FHSAA state meet, Friday, November 20, at Apalachee Regional Park in Tallahassee. FHSAA posted its regional qualifier list on November 9, and every team and individual below matches it. Each team is entered with the seven runners who finished first for it at district. A coach can swap in a substitute on race day, but a substitute runs for team points only.
Our order follows our Class 2A region rankings: inside a district, last week's result stands, and across the two districts our latest rankings, head-to-head results and season bests decide it. When a slower time sits above a faster one, the note under the table says why.
Girls: 7:30 a.m.
Who qualified
From 2A District 1 (November 6): Florida High (Tallahassee) 2A (1st, 31), Pensacola Catholic 2A (2nd, 46), Freeport 2A (3rd, 84), Rutherford (Panama City) 2A (4th, 140), North Bay Haven (Panama City) 2A (5th, 142), Marianna 2A (6th, 149), Walton (DeFuniak Springs) 2A (7th, 167), Chipley 2A (8th, 181). Individuals: Rebekah Otto (Destin, 22nd), Katherine Sidden (Pensacola, 24th), Natalya Irizarry (Destin, 25th), Madison Gillett (Soundside, 29th).
From 2A District 2 (November 6): Bolles (Jacksonville) 2A (1st, 30), Episcopal (Jacksonville) 2A (2nd, 31), Wolfson (Jacksonville) 2A (3rd, 121), Suwannee (Live Oak) 2A (4th, 139), Fernandina Beach 2A (5th, 145), Keystone Heights 2A (6th, 185), P. K. Yonge (Gainesville) 2A (7th, 190), Andrew Jackson (Jacksonville) 2A (8th, 202). Individuals: Bridget Gulledge (Eastside, 16th), Graisyn McCosh (West Nassau, 19th), Braylen Lee (Baker County, 26th), Natalia Calderon (Newberry, 35th).
The team race
Bolles 2A and Episcopal 2A put all ten of their scorers inside the top 12 at district. Bolles went 1-3-5-9-12 behind Stam, Kavya Patel (Sr.) and Palmer Edwards (Sr.). Episcopal went 2-4-7-8-10 behind Stella Krueger (Jr.), Holland McKinney (So.), Kate Brice (Jr.), Whitney Morgan (Sr.) and Graziana Gowdy (So.). Episcopal had the tighter pack. Bolles had the front, and that was the point.
We have Bolles first, by about as little as a ranking can carry. The swing runners are Bolles's fourth and fifth, Peyton Hoover (Jr.) and Eliana Bruneau (Sr.), against Morgan and Gowdy. Bolles also has a sixth, Valentina Bouras (Jr.), who finished one second behind Bruneau last week. If any Bolles scorer has an off day, Bouras is right there.
Wolfson 2A, Suwannee 2A and Fernandina Beach 2A were the next three at District 2 and keep that order here. Fernandina has the best single runner of the group in Maya Kovalcik (So.), sixth at district and 18:41.0 at New World. Florida High 2A won District 1 with 31 points on the state course, with Vera Vanlandingham (Fr.) second and Emma Whittington (8th grade) fourth there. It slots in sixth because the District 2 teams ran faster.
Keystone Heights 2A is seventh. The eighth and last state spot looks like Pensacola Catholic 2A against P. K. Yonge 2A. Pensacola Catholic went sixth, seventh and eighth at District 1 with Abby Cage, Piper Pharr and Isabelle Beroset, and all three have run under 21:41 this fall. P. K. Yonge has the faster front-runner in seventh grader Evelyn George (20:50.8), but its second runner's best is more than a minute and a half behind her.

All 16 qualifying teams in our order. The shaded row is the eighth and last state spot.
The individual race
Sofie Stam (So.) of Bolles is the pick. She ran 17:56.0 for ninth in the New World elite race on October 17, the fastest time anyone in this field has run, and won here last week by 16 seconds. She was tenth at the 2A state meet last fall.
Behind her it is a Bolles and Episcopal sandwich. Krueger, Patel, McKinney, Edwards and Brice went second through seventh at district, with Kovalcik the only runner from another school in that run. Watch Brice. She was third at state last fall, the best returning finish in this race, and ran 18:50.0 at New World before a seventh-place 19:19.0 last week.
Lorelai Williams (Fr.) of Rutherford won District 1 in 21:34.1. The District 1 times run slower across the board, so she sits 19th on our list, but she is in line for one of the four individual tickets. Bolles and Episcopal hold nine of our top ten.
| Rank | Runner | School | Best this fall | Where | District |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sofie Stam (So.) | Bolles (Jacksonville) | 17:56.0 | New World Fall Spectacular | 1st, 18:18.0 |
| 2 | Stella Krueger (Jr.) | Episcopal (Jacksonville) | 18:34.0 | 2A District 2 | 2nd, 18:34.0 |
| 3 | Kavya Patel (Sr.) | Bolles (Jacksonville) | 18:36.0 | 2A District 2 | 3rd, 18:36.0 |
| 4 | Holland McKinney (So.) | Episcopal (Jacksonville) | 18:45.0 | 2A District 2 | 4th, 18:45.0 |
| 5 | Palmer Edwards (Sr.) | Bolles (Jacksonville) | 18:39.0 | New World Fall Spectacular | 5th, 19:04.0 |
| 6 | Maya Kovalcik (So.) | Fernandina Beach | 18:41.0 | New World Fall Spectacular | 6th, 19:11.0 |
| 7 | Kate Brice (Jr.) | Episcopal (Jacksonville) | 18:50.0 | New World Fall Spectacular | 7th, 19:19.0 |
| 8 | Whitney Morgan (Sr.) | Episcopal (Jacksonville) | 19:28.5 | Great American Festival | 8th, 19:32.0 |
| 9 | Peyton Hoover (Jr.) | Bolles (Jacksonville) | 19:32.0 | New World Fall Spectacular | 9th, 19:38.0 |
| 10 | Graziana Gowdy (So.) | Episcopal (Jacksonville) | 19:45.0 | 2A District 2 | 10th, 19:45.0 |
Our top ten, the same order as our Class 2A region rankings. Every time is the best that runner actually ran this fall. Medals go to the top 15.
Why some slower times rank higher:
- Holland McKinney (18:45.0): beat Palmer Edwards and Maya Kovalcik at the 2A District 2 meet on November 6.
The four individual spots
The four individual spots go to the best finishers not on a qualifying team. Our projection: Bridget Gulledge (Sr.) of Eastside, 16th at District 2 and 20:10.0 at New World; Evelyn George of P. K. Yonge; Lorelai Williams of Rutherford; and Graisyn McCosh (So.) of West Nassau, 19th at District 2. First one out is Sanyia Randolph (Fr.) of Andrew Jackson, whose 20:02.2 at the Gateway Conference meet is faster than all four. If P. K. Yonge's team gets in, George goes with it and Randolph moves up.
Projected to state: Bolles, Episcopal, Wolfson, Suwannee, Fernandina Beach, Florida High, Keystone Heights, Pensacola Catholic; individuals Bridget Gulledge (Eastside), Evelyn George (P. K. Yonge), Lorelai Williams (Rutherford), Graisyn McCosh (West Nassau).

All 16 qualifying teams in our order. The shaded row is the eighth and last state spot.
The individual race
Aaron Ches (Jr.) of Bolles is the pick. He ran 15:32.0 in the New World elite race and won district here last week in 16:04.0, stride for stride with Armaan Sharma (So.). Ches was 12th at state last fall. Sharma was eighth.
The wild card is Frederick Gunther of Pensacola Catholic. He won the New World B race in 15:47.0, then won the Esca-Rosa County Championships, the Aggie Invitational and District 1. He has not raced Ches or Sharma this fall. Friday is the first look.
Bolles holds six of our top ten. Lawson Phillips (So.) of Florida High is the District 1 name to know: second to Gunther in that New World B race in 15:54.0, and second to him again at district. We have him 13th, and in line for an individual ticket.
| Rank | Runner | School | Best this fall | Where | District |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Aaron Ches (Jr.) | Bolles (Jacksonville) | 15:32.0 | New World Fall Spectacular | 1st, 16:04.0 |
| 2 | Frederick Gunther (So.) | Pensacola Catholic | 15:47.0 | New World Fall Spectacular | 1st, 16:31.0 |
| 3 | Armaan Sharma (So.) | Bolles (Jacksonville) | 15:50.0 | New World Fall Spectacular | 2nd, 16:04.0 |
| 4 | Grayson Smith (So.) | Episcopal (Jacksonville) | 16:14.0 | 2A District 2 | 3rd, 16:14.0 |
| 5 | Wyatt Cleek (Jr.) | Bolles (Jacksonville) | 16:03.0 | New World Fall Spectacular | 4th, 16:21.0 |
| 6 | Brantley Rigdon (Jr.) | Bolles (Jacksonville) | 16:04.0 | Cecil Field Summer Classic | 5th, 16:28.0 |
| 7 | Luke Engels (Sr.) | Eastside (Gainesville) | 16:10.0 | New World Fall Spectacular | 7th, 16:29.0 |
| 8 | Vincent Barragan (Jr.) | Bolles (Jacksonville) | 16:17.0 | New World Fall Spectacular | 6th, 16:29.0 |
| 9 | Watson Dunham (So.) | Newberry | 16:34.0 | 2A District 2 | 8th, 16:34.0 |
| 10 | Liam Sumner (So.) | Bolles (Jacksonville) | 16:23.0 | New World Fall Spectacular | 9th, 16:36.0 |
Our top ten, the same order as our Class 2A region rankings. Every time is the best that runner actually ran this fall. Medals go to the top 15.
Why some slower times rank higher:
- Grayson Smith (16:14.0): beat Wyatt Cleek, Brantley Rigdon and Luke Engels at the 2A District 2 meet on November 6.
- Watson Dunham (16:34.0): beat Liam Sumner at the 2A District 2 meet on November 6, 16:34.0 to 16:36.0.
The four individual spots
Our projected individual qualifiers: Phillips; Malik Ravenell (Jr.) of Fernandina Beach, 12th at District 2 and 16:35.0 at New World; Aaron Bertrand of P. K. Yonge; and Dominique Ghee (Fr.) of Andrew Jackson, 28th at District 2. The team bubble decides the rest. If Pensacola Catholic misses the top eight, Gunther goes as an individual, and if P. K. Yonge gets in, Bertrand goes with his team.
Projected to state: Bolles, Eastside, Episcopal, Newberry, Suwannee, Wolfson, Keystone Heights, Pensacola Catholic; individuals Lawson Phillips (Florida High), Malik Ravenell (Fernandina Beach), Aaron Bertrand (P. K. Yonge), Dominique Ghee (Andrew Jackson).

How we did it
- The field is FHSAA's 2026 regional qualifier list, posted November 9. We checked every team and individual against the district results in our database, and they match.
- Meet times, sites, tickets and parking come from the host school's meet sheet, linked from FHSAA's region page.
- Rankings are the ones in our Class 2A region rankings. Head-to-head results decide pairs, the most recent meeting standing, so last week's district finish holds inside each district.
- Times are the best each runner actually ran this fall. Courses run fast or slow, so the order puts every race on one scale before head-to-heads and our lists settle it.
- Last fall's state places are from the 2025 FHSAA state meet results in our database.
We will get one or two of these wrong. That's why they run the races. Results go into the database as soon as they are posted.
