About these results
- Times and places are as they were posted on TFRRS. FHSAA posts the official state qualifier list after the region meets.
- The 4A Region 2 and Region 4 girls ran one combined race in Boca Raton and were scored separately. Places here count only Region 2 runners, so they differ from the combined places on the timer's sheet.
- Team scores count each team's top five finishers; the sixth runner breaks a tie.
- A season best here means faster than any 5K that runner has in our database this fall.
Every finisher is in the full results, and every runner's season is a click away in the Florida XC results database. See you in Tallahassee.
