Class 3A Region 1 runs Friday at Cecil Field. Three of our top five 3A girls teams are in one race, Luke Ross leads the boys, and Bishop Kenny brings a pack.
FHSAA Class 3A Region 1: Friday, November 13, Cecil Field, Jacksonville. Hosted by Bolles. Girls at 8:30 a.m., boys at 9:00 a.m.
Region 1 stretches from Pensacola to St. Augustine. Bolles hosts it Friday at Cecil Field in Jacksonville, where District 1 (Tallahassee and the Panhandle) meets District 2 (the First Coast and Gainesville). The top eight teams in each race and the top four runners not on those teams go to the state meet in Tallahassee on November 20.
The girls race is the best in 3A this week: Chiles, Ponte Vedra and Bishop Kenny are all in our top five. The boys race has Ponte Vedra's Luke Ross, who beat everyone here who matters at New World, and a Bishop Kenny team that wins without a single runner in the top four.
FHSAA posted its official regional qualifier list on November 9. Every team below is on it, and every runner we rank is on their team's declared seven. One individual changed from the district results, and we note it in the girls field list. We will miss one or two. That is what Friday is for.
Girls, 8:30 a.m.: Chiles and Bishop Kenny, again
Three of our top five 3A girls teams are in this race: Chiles (No. 1), Ponte Vedra (No. 4) and Bishop Kenny (No. 5). Chiles beat Bishop Kenny at New World on October 17, and that is still the latest meeting between them, so Chiles is our pick. It should be close. Both won their districts going away, Chiles with 23 points and Bishop Kenny with 21.
Chiles has the front-runner. Emma-Claire Tanenbaum, a sophomore, won District 1 in 18:44.7, and Charlotte Sikes (So.), Kaia Ables (Sr.) and Chloe Molen (Jr.) followed in third, fourth and fifth. Bishop Kenny answers with numbers: Jillian Jakab (Sr.) won District 2 in 18:40.0, Camila Giles (Jr.) was third, Alexandra Lumpkin (Jr.) fourth, and Ava McEnany, Taylor Lawhon and Rebecca McEnany sixth, seventh and eighth. Seventy seconds covered Kenny's seven.
Ponte Vedra was second at District 2 with 46 and is third. Fort Walton Beach and Gulf Breeze, second and third at District 1, look safe. The fight is for eighth. District 2's Stanton, St. Augustine and Fleming Island were third, fourth and fifth there with 117, 133 and 135, and we have all three in. That leaves Leon, fourth at District 1, ninth and on the outside by our count.

The orange line is the state cut: the top eight teams go to Tallahassee.
Tanenbaum against Jakab is the race up front. Tanenbaum beat her by five seconds at New World, 18:14.0 to 18:19.0, and they have not met since. Piper Ross, a Ponte Vedra freshman, split Jakab and Giles at District 2 in 18:52.0. Giles, No. 3 on our last 3A list, lost to both of them there and sits fourth. Mia Jucha, a Fort Walton Beach freshman, was second at District 1 in 19:51.0 and is fifth.
If Leon misses, Tatum Hendon (Sr.) has the inside track on the first individual spot. Annabelle Johnson of West Florida (So.), Eve Flory of Gainesville (Sr.) and Lauren Rosset of Middleburg (So.) are next. Flory has the fastest best of that group, 19:32.0 at New World.

Boys, 9:00 a.m.: Luke Ross, and the Bishop Kenny pack
Bishop Kenny is our team pick, and it does not need anyone in the top four to get there. It won District 2 with 42 points with three seniors, Ethan Reid, Dayne Kimball and Brian Martinez, fifth, sixth and seventh, and its fifth runner 13th. It is No. 3 on our 3A list.
Fleming Island (No. 5 in 3A) was seven points back at District 2 with JP Strombeck and Ryder Muyres up front. Leon, which won District 1 with 36 points and is No. 6, beat Ponte Vedra at New World and comes in third. Ponte Vedra (No. 7) has Ross and is fourth.
Chiles is eighth and Gulf Breeze ninth. They were fourth and fifth at District 1, six points apart, 92 to 98. Chiles has Jonathan Kiros and Gulf Breeze has Owen Tucker, so whichever team misses still sends its best runner as an individual.

How we did it
- The field is FHSAA's official 2026 Regional Qualifier List, posted November 9. We checked every team and individual on it against the district results in our database, and every runner we rank is on their team's declared seven.
- Who goes to state: the top eight teams in each region and the top four individuals not on those teams (FHSAA policy 4.5.2.2.4).
- The order is our 3A region rankings. Every time shown is the best that runner actually ran this fall, and where. The latest head-to-head result between two runners or two teams stands until they meet again, and our statewide and 3A lists hold unless a newer result says otherwise.
- Only 2026 races count. Roy Griak is left out.
Every district result is in the Florida XC results database, and the full class view is in our 3A region rankings.
