Girls FLYRA Individual Rankings — Week 1

Won Cecil Field's combined middle school race outright — first of 275, boys included — and her converted mark puts her twenty-one seconds clear of every other girl in the state. She ran 10:46 at FLYRA state last fall as a sixth grader for Landrum; the improvement curve is not flattening. Two more years of this.

Won the head-to-head of the weekend, holding off Brianna Motycka by 1.3 seconds at Jim Ryun. Her 10:42 from last year's state meet said top-three returner; the opener confirmed it.

The fastest returning state time in the girls' field (10:24.8 last October) went out and ran exactly that equivalent in her opener, a second and a half behind Ilea. Those two are on a collision course all season.

First 8th grader across for No Excuses at Cecil Field and the second leg of a 1-2 club punch that decided the team board before Labor Day.

Third girl at Jim Ryun and the second 7th grader in the top five. Ran 11:07 at state last year for Gulf Coast Runners; she's already twenty-plus seconds better.

The best returning state time that hasn't raced yet — 11:01 as a sixth grader. The projection gives her nothing for the summer, and sixth-to-seventh is usually the biggest jump a middle school girl makes.

Montford's front-runner hasn't opened yet, but her squad ran the Wolves Run without her and still put five scorers on the team board. When she steps in, Montford's ceiling moves.

Fourth girl at Jim Ryun and the Harriers' clear No. 1.

The only Boca Warrior who has raced — the rest of the No. 2 team on the team board is running on November times.

Ran 11:03 at state last fall, opened at an 11:25 equivalent — the one kid in this top ten who ranks worse by her opener than by her projection. She's raced, so the raced number stands; her state time says she belongs three spots higher.
