Girls Elementary Team Rankings — Week 6
#1 Naples Christian Academy · 72 points
Gracie Freeman 8:07.8, Harriet Straub 9:22.0, Annalise Dube 9:23.1, Ivy Shunk 9:27.1, Charlie Heaps 9:46.4
A perfect 15 at the SAC meet on Sept. 12, with Freeman winning by 74 seconds. Two through five are within 25 seconds of each other, and that depth is why Naples Christian leads a list on which it has not met anyone else.
#2 Team FTC Kids · 86 points
Isabelle Kay 8:27.2, Sofia Gibby 9:15.4, Remi Adams 9:38.9, Harper Payne 10:00.9, Fraances Brooks 10:01.4
Won the elementary girls' team race at the Horse Park, 40 to the Harriers' 44, and won Run Florida on Saturday with 20.
#3 No Excuses RC · 117 points
Vivian Hartley 8:30.8, Linley Dziedziejko 8:40.3, Harper Lafser 8:40.8, Allie Finch 10:38.3, Natalie Cotton 11:09.3
No Excuses' elementary girls have raced only the middle school 3K this fall, at Cecil Field and Bale N Trail. Hartley, Dziedziejko and Lafser count on their times from last fall's state meet, which are still better than their 3Ks work out to; Finch and Cotton count on their Bale N Trail pace.
#4 Hillsborough Harriers · 129 points
Lainey Jessup 8:04.4, Sophia Dolan 8:14.4, Emma Dolan 8:56.7, Josie Taylor 10:53.5, Lacey Connors 11:44.5
The best top three on the list, with Jessup and the Dolans. The Harriers ran four points behind FTC at the Horse Park. Their younger girls are left out of this scoring because the state meet's team race is third through fifth grade, and that leaves the fourth and fifth runners well back.
#5 Queen of Peace Academy · 155 points
Leighton Hitchcock 9:19.5, Zara Biedrzycki 9:45.0, Nore Jane Guiterman 10:37.3, Stephanie Mitch 10:42.2, Ellie Anthony 10:50.4
Second to FTC at Run Florida on Saturday, 49 points, and fourth at the Horse Park.
Next: NEXT (Club), Liza Jackson Preparatory School (Charter) and Hardee Junior High School (Public).
How we built this
- Each runner's season figure comes from the individual rankings: every middle school 3K is compared with last fall's FLYRA state results for the same runners, which puts every course in Holloway Park terms. Elementary 2K races are priced against last fall's 3rd-5th grade state race. The times next to each runner above are those season figures, not a time run on a particular day.
- Each team's five best go into one virtual race with every other team's; the next two can displace. A runner counts for the team they have raced for most often this fall. Red Sea Running Club and Tavares Middle School are one program, scored as Tavares. Runners listed as unattached are not scored.
- Middle school is grades 6-8; fifth graders are elementary only. The elementary team race at the state meet is third through fifth grade, so younger kids are not scored here.
- An elementary runner who has only raced up in a middle school 3K counts at the same pace over 2K. On the kids who have run both this fall, that is a conservative reading. A runner who has not raced this fall counts on last fall's state time.
- Where two teams have met and neither has raced since, the result orders them. On this page, every meeting that disagrees with the arithmetic has been raced past by both teams, so the order is the virtual race.
- Finish order only, times not priced: Oak Park Middle School, Todd Howsare's middle school race and the Stampede Sprint elementary 2K.
