Just missed
Grace Dorn (South Florida HEAT, So.) was fourth at South Fork, behind Richardson; she beat Kelly Geraghty (Holy Trinity, Fr.) at Spanish River, and Geraghty beat Richardson there. Those three go round in a circle, and the newest result, South Fork, decides it. Rachel Judy (Master's Academy, Sr.) was second at Merritt Island Christian on Saturday in 19:28.7. Abigail Cooper (Tampa Bay HEAT, So.) did not race. Kylie Cook (All Saints', 8th grade) won the All Saints' Invitational on Saturday in 20:24.5.
How we ranked them
- Courses do not all run the same speed, so we do not compare raw times. Cecil Field is the yardstick; for other meets we use runners who raced both that course and last year's state meet to work out what a time was worth.
- A runner is ranked on her whole season, weighted toward the most recent race: this week counts eight times, last week seven, and so on back to opening weekend, which counts once. A race she won is never allowed to lower that figure.
- A head-to-head loss stands until the two runners meet again, whatever either has run elsewhere since. Where results form a loop, the most recent meeting decides. A runner who beat someone ranked above her moves up to that runner's spot.
- Head-to-heads from September 12 and earlier no longer order runners. Those races are a month old, and kids have changed since. The times still count in the season figure.
- The FSU Pre-State Invitational, the biggest meet of the fall, was canceled for Hurricane Isaias. Nobody is marked down for a race they could not run.
- A missed week is never held against anyone.
- Grades and classes are 2026-27, resolved against the FHSAA classification documents.
- Summers first is the season figure; she has not raced since August 29, and a missed week never counts against anyone.
