Girls FLYRA Team Rankings — Week 1
#1 No Excuses RC · 51 points
Five-girl state-equivalent average 11:11.7, spread 1:54.0, all five raced.
Colette Heffernan 10:02.1, Amelia Flood 10:40.9, Madelen Finch 11:25.8, Amaya Mader 11:53.6, Piper Austin 11:56.1; Peyton Akins and Olivia Austin displacing.
The overall winner of Cecil Field's combined race — boys included — leads a squad that put seven girls on the board. Heffernan and Finch are 7th graders. Fifty-one points in a statewide virtual meet is the kind of score you post once and everyone else plans around.
#2 Boca Warriors Track Club · 108 points (P)
Projected five-girl average 11:54.7, spread 0:53.7 — four of five on November times.
Arielle Gorlovetzky 11:23.8, Faith Gladstone 11:43.0 (P), Katerina Skutnik 11:59.0 (P), Tejasvita Minnamareddy 12:10.0 (P), Hayden Frey 12:17.5 (P).
The one Warrior who raced beat her projection profile, and the four behind her carry the tightest returning pack in the state — fifty-four seconds one-to-five. If the projections hold at all, second is their floor.
#3 Red Sea Running Club · 115 points
Five-girl average 11:42.7, spread 2:14.4, all five raced.
Alice Ilea 10:23.3, Kayla Santos 11:28.8, Lilliana Gutfreind 11:35.9, Amelia Hernandez 12:27.8, Alizeah Miller 12:37.7.
Three girls in the individual top fifteen, all raced, seven deep. Ilea gives them the best front-runner in the field after Heffernan; the two-minute spread is what separates them from the top spot.
#4 WIND Runners · 177 points
Five-girl average 12:06.7, spread 1:54.4, three of five raced.
Emily Del Mazo 10:44.7, Brynn Genslinger 11:57.8, Charlotte Cerrito 12:35.5 (P), Jaclyn Cerrito 12:36.4 (P), Julia Hiatt 12:39.1.
Del Mazo is the best 7th grade front-runner outside the top team, and the Cerrito twins haven't raced yet. A full-strength WIND squad likely closes half the gap to Red Sea.
#5 Montford Middle School · 268 points
Five-girl average 12:19.0, spread 2:22.2, four of five raced.
Acadia Hassell 11:04.9 (P), Natalie Trimble 11:51.1, Ananiah Scringer 12:14.5, Adrianne Miller 12:57.3, Valerie Storace 13:27.1.
The best school program on the girls' side. They won the Wolves Run without their No. 1 — Hassell's 11:04 state time hasn't raced yet — which makes fifth-with-an-asterisk the most underrated line on this board.
#6 Hillsborough Harriers · 312 points
Five-girl average 12:32.4, spread 2:00.7, four of five raced.
Bailey Eggleston 11:11.2, Maysen McDonald 12:36.4, Moriah Toles 12:51.0 (P), Lucy Dory 12:51.5, Helene Waters 13:11.9.
Eggleston carries them — the drop from one to two is eighty-five seconds, the widest gap on any top-six team.
#7 Imagine Town Center · 351 points
Five-girl average 12:40.7, spread 1:54.5, all five raced.
Mia Kopcikova 11:31.5, Aspen Lester 12:25.0, Mia Moore 12:55.8, Madelyn Yorgey 13:05.6, Madelyn Fallon 13:26.0.
Seven girls raced at Spikes & Spurs — the deepest all-raced school squad in the field.
#8 Nolan Middle School · 363 points (P)
Projected five-girl average 12:46.6, spread 1:36.1 — all five on November times.
Katelyn McIntyre 11:58.5, Emma Valentine 12:30.0, Vivian Bower 12:30.8, Bri Williams 13:18.9, Vanessa Galliano 13:34.6.
Bradenton's returning squad, sight unseen. A front three inside 12:31 makes them the projection most likely to jump.
#9 Tavares Middle School · 394 points (P)
Projected five-girl average 12:53.7, spread 1:19.0.
Arieyahna Neal 12:26.1, Hope Nesmith 12:38.5, Airiana Graf 12:46.5, Argellia Ascencio 12:52.5, Mia Leal 13:45.1.
Seven returners and a tight 1-4. Worth remembering their two best 2025 kids now race for Red Sea — the club era comes for everyone.
#10 Cornerstone Classical Academy · 402 points
Five-girl average 12:56.3, spread 0:53.4, all five raced.
Jayne McCarthy 12:28.9, Katelyn Milla 12:42.2, Haven Smith 12:56.8, Eliza Arthur 13:11.4, Kenadee Hagensick 13:22.2.
Fifty-three seconds one-to-five, seven girls raced at Cecil Field, nobody projected. No stars, no holes — the model mid-major.
