FHSAA Class 2A Region 2 cross country, Saturday, November 14, 2026, New Smyrna Beach High School.
Edgewood won the Class 2A Region 2 girls title at New Smyrna Beach High School on Saturday morning with 64 points. Behind them, Lake Highland Prep and West Shore tied at 77 and Montverde Academy scored 78. Lake Highland Prep won the boys title with 54, 29 ahead of Cocoa Beach.
Both of last fall's 2A state champions won. Selah Vignier of West Shore won the girls race in 18:19.1, 7.6 seconds ahead of Montverde's Lyla McMillen. Will Moss of Montverde won the boys race in 15:54.2, 17.2 seconds ahead of McKeel's Aidan Alam, in their first meeting of the season.
Montverde's boys finished only four runners and had no team score, so Moss and sophomore Salvatore Scelfo go to Tallahassee as individuals.
- Top eight teams and the top four runners not on those teams advance to the FHSAA state meet, Friday, November 20, at Apalachee Regional Park in Tallahassee.
- Full results for every finisher: 2A Region 2 results.
