Ranking writeups
#3 — 3A Boys Week 1
The biggest arrival in 3A and it came through reclassification. Howdeshell was 14th in 4A at state in 16:01.2. He is 3A now, and he ran 15:20.0 for third in the Cecil Elite race behind Cruz and Thompson — a 42-second improvement in November terms, against the best field in the state.
That is the fourth-fastest converted time by any Florida boy this weekend, behind Cruz, Quentin Thompson and Jaxon Kiper of Strawberry Crest, who is 4A. Largo does not field a ranked team in 3A, so he is running alone, and on this evidence he is the one runner outside Belen who can be in the same race as Cruz and Mantecon in November.
#5 — Overall Boys Week 1
Third at Cecil Field in 15:20, 41.2 seconds faster than his state run. The reclassification matters as much as the time: Largo moves from 4A to 3A for 2026-27, which drops Howdeshell into the same postseason bracket as both Belen Jesuit runners. He was our ninth-ranked returner. He is comfortably better than that now.
