Bishop Kenny opened with 29 at Buchholz and goes to first, Bishop Moore is second, Ponte Vedra holds third over Chiles on the Horse Park, and Chiles never got its race at Nights of Thunder.
Florida Class 3A girls cross country team rankings through four weeks: August 21-September 12, 2026
Bishop Kenny opened at the Buchholz Bobcats Classic and won it with 29 points in a 19-team field, Camila Giles first in 18:37.2 and four girls in the top seven. A week ago they were second on a projection with Bishop Moore ranked ahead because a win in a 49-team race beats paper. The paper is gone, the real number is a 19:38.9 average, and they are first. Bishop Moore did not race and is second on the Horse Park win. Ponte Vedra is third over Chiles, which has the better figure, because Ponte Vedra was third at the Horse Park and Chiles sixth and neither has raced since; Chiles was entered at Nights of Thunder and the varsity race was called off. Lourdes was second at King of the Hill with 57 behind St. Thomas Aquinas 4A and holds fifth. St. Petersburg is in at tenth and South Fork is out. The two teams at the top have not raced each other.
A team is ranked on its whole season, with the most recent race counting most, and a meet it won never counts against it. The virtual race behind these scores contains only Class 3A 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. Races are not won until the kids have run. Enjoy.
About the times. The average on each line is the season figure the scoring uses, in Cecil Field terms. The times next to each runner are season figures too; the race log for every runner is on the rankings page.
The statewide lists: Week 4 girls team top 10 and Week 4 boys team top 10. The 3A girls individuals are here, and the week 3 edition of this list is here. The other classes this week: 3A boys, 1A girls, 2A girls, 4A girls.

First, from second, and they have not raced Bishop Moore.
2. Bishop Moore (Orlando) -- 131 points

Where the virtual race disagrees with this list
- Ponte Vedra over Chiles: 3rd and 6th at the Horse Park, and neither has raced 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. The girls' field ran about half a minute slower in August than at state, and that is removed before a course is rated.
- Each runner is scored on her whole season, weighted toward the most recent race: this week counts four times, last week three, week two twice, opening weekend 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 3A team and are scored the way cross country is scored: top five count, sixth and seventh displace, five finishers required, low score wins. 83 3A girls teams cleared the bar; 1 of them is a projection. Scores climb every week as more teams enter and are not comparable to last week's; compare the order and the averages.
- Where two teams in this class have raced each other with at least three of their scoring seven, and neither has raced since, the team that won ranks ahead of the team it beat. Those moves are listed above.
- A team whose returning five have not raced is entered on last November's state times and marked (P). A returner who has raced for another school this season is not projected at the old one.
- Classes are 2026-27, resolved against the FHSAA classification documents.
