Florida Middle School Cross Country Team Rankings by Division, Week 8: Top 10 Public, Private, Charter and Club

Florida middle school cross country team rankings by FLYRA division, week 8, season through October 10, 2026

The FLYRA state meet in November scores four team races: public school, private school, charter school and club. These are the top 10 in each, boys and girls. Each list is its own virtual race, every team's top seven against the other teams in that division only, so points on one list do not compare to points on another. The statewide order is in our week 8 team rankings.

What moved since our last division lists: the 305 Classic, Race of Thoroughbreds and the two ACC meets brought a wave of Miami-Dade teams onto the board. Conchita Espinosa Academy won the 305 Classic varsity races, boys and girls. The Villages Charter boys and Cornerstone Classical girls still lead the charter lists, and No Excuses leads both club lists. Ruckel stays first among the public school boys by our call.

Three teams on the private school girls' list, Oak Hall, All Saints' and Mount Dora Christian, have run only high school varsity 5ks this fall. Their middle schoolers can enter FLYRA, and whether the schools bring a team is their call.

How to read it: each team's top seven, with the time each runner actually ran and, in parentheses, what that run projects to at the state meet. For a 5k, it is the 3K we project from it. When two teams in the same division have met with their full lineups since mid-September, the most recent finish decides.

How we ranked them

• Florida middle schoolers only, grades 6 through 8, every middle school race in the results database through October 10, with two-mile, 2.1-mile, 3,200-meter and 2,900-meter races converted to 3K. Fifth graders, including ungraded kids who also run elementary races, are on the elementary lists only.
• Middle schoolers who race high school 5ks are in: each 5k is leveled for its course, then turned into a 3K figure using the middle schoolers who have raced both distances this fall.
• A runner scores once, for the team they have raced for most this fall. A club is Club, a school is its division, and a program's own division at last year's state meet stands where it raced one. Schools new to our results this week were placed by school type, district schools Public and parish schools Private. That is our classification, not FLYRA's.
• Team order: a virtual race inside each division, five score and six and seven push. A team that beat a higher-ranked team in their most recent meeting moves directly above it until they meet again. Meetings from September 12 and earlier no longer bind, except Ruckel over Tavares, which we kept. JV races are not meetings, and a loss by a team missing two or more of its top five is not held against it.

Statewide teams: week 8 middle school team rankings. Individuals by division: top 10s by division. Every result is in the Florida XC results database.
