#5 — 2A Girls 2026 Week 6

Did not race. Seventh at Rockledge on September 18 in 19:31.1; sixth at Astronaut, ahead of Hart; sixth at St. Cloud. Vignier has beaten her twice. An eighth grader. Fifth.

#6 — 2A Girls 2026 Week 5

Seventh at the Rockledge Raider Classic in 19:31.1, 55 seconds behind Vignier, in her fourth race. The Cocoa Beach win in 20:28.2 is not counted, sixth at St. Cloud in 19:25.7, sixth at Astronaut in 19:59.7 on a slow course, and Rockledge: every one of the four levels between about 19:18 and 19:38. An eighth grader racing varsity; she beat Hart at Astronaut and Lee at Rockledge, and Vignier is the only girl on this list who has beaten her. Seventh to sixth as Krueger slipped.

#7 — 2A Girls 2026 Week 4

Sixth at Astronaut in 19:59.7, worth about 19:18, the best of her three races leveled: the Cocoa Beach win in 20:28.2, sixth at St. Cloud in 19:25.7, and Saturday. An eighth grader racing varsity, and each race has been worth a little more than the last. Eighth to seventh.

#8 — 2A Girls 2026 Week 3

Won the Cocoa Beach Tuesday night meet by more than two and a half minutes in 20:28.2, then ran 19:25.7 for sixth at the St. Cloud Invitational on Saturday. An eighth grader, two races, and a minute of improvement between them.

#5 — 2A Girls 2026 Week 2

The wildest new line in 2A. Dobbin won the Cocoa Beach Tuesday Night Invite in 20:28.2, more than two and a half minutes clear of the field, running essentially alone from the gun. The course ran slow, and priced onto neutral ground the run is worth about 19:24, and we have taken the most cautious of the available readings to get there.

She is an eighth grader, Cocoa Beach is a junior-senior high so she is varsity-eligible, and she has no state history because she has never had a season. One race, no field to push her, a conversion doing real work: every caution flag applies, and she still prices out fifth in the class. If that number is even close to real, 2A has a five-year problem.
