Girls Middle School Individual Rankings — Week 6

Won Bale N Trail on Saturday in 10:22.9, 49.2 seconds clear. Three races, three wins: Cecil Field on opening night, the Horse Park in 10:17.8, and Saturday, which projects 10:24.0, almost exactly what her Horse Park run was worth. Nobody has beaten her this fall, and she has not raced Motycka.

Did not race. Won Nights of Thunder on the state course in 10:44.8 on September 12, eleven seconds ahead of Ilea, and that result holds until the two meet again. She won the club race at state last November in 10:24.8.

Two more wins: the East Ridge Middle School meet on Tuesday in 11:41.3, 32 seconds clear, and Oak Park on Thursday in 10:45.1, 38 seconds clear. That makes ten races and eight wins this fall, and the two losses are to Heffernan and Motycka. Her projection is a hair better than Motycka's, but Motycka beat her at Nights of Thunder. Red Sea Running Club and Tavares Middle School are one program, and she has raced under both names.

Second to Heffernan at Bale N Trail in 11:12.1, her first race since Cecil Field, where she was also second to her. She beat Finch by 3.8 seconds. Saturday projects 11:13.2, so the Cecil Field run still ranks her.

Did not race. Won the North Port middle school race on September 19 in 11:13.1, 11.2 seconds ahead of Katelyn McIntyre, who won Lakewood Ranch on Saturday by 53 seconds.

Did not race. Wins at Dolphin Dash and the Gulf Coast Stampede, where she ran 10:58.6 on September 12. She won the private school race at state last November in 11:01.2. She has not raced anybody on this list.

Won her school's meet again on Saturday, the Palmer Trinity HS/MS invitational, in 11:24.2, 60.7 seconds clear. Four races, three wins; the one loss is third at the Horse Park behind Heffernan and Ilea. She sits above Boucher because she beat her by 1.2 seconds at Spanish River.

Did not race. Second at Spanish River in 10:57.8, 1.2 seconds behind Sarcos, and fourth at Nights of Thunder. Her projection is 3.7 seconds better than Sarcos's, and the head-to-head puts her eighth.

Won the middle school two-mile at the Marathon High School meet on Thursday in 12:03.3. The rest of the fall she has run 5Ks for Marathon's high school varsity: third at the FNU Invitational, 20:42.9 at Spanish River. She is the only runner we can price that course with, so her projection leans almost entirely on our pooled reading for small meets. Take it as a first look. She was 53rd at state last November in 12:59.8.

Has not opened. Fourth in the public school race at state last November. Joly's projection is 0.3 seconds behind this seed, and a race beats a seed at a gap that small, which is why Joly is ninth.

Next up: Zoie Hart (Emerald Coast, 8th grade), who won the Panhandle pre-conference meet in 11:48.7 (11:14.6); Katelyn McIntyre (Nolan Middle School, 8th grade), who won Lakewood Ranch on Saturday in 11:29.5 out of 123 (her North Port run projects 11:16.8); Madelen Finch (No Excuses RC, 7th grade), third at Bale N Trail in 11:15.9 (11:17.0).
