Bishop Kenny (Jacksonville)

Did not enter a meet. Five returners, none of whom opened: Taylor Lawhon 18:54.8, Camila Giles 19:16.9, Jillian Jakab 19:36.6, Rebecca McEnany 19:58.0, Ava McEnany 20:30.8. Average 19:39.4, spread 1:36.0.

They are the No. 1 girls team in Florida in any class, and they got there while being charged 28.8 seconds a runner for not racing. Reclassification moved them up from 2A with their scoring core intact, and it dropped a state-title-caliber team into the deepest girls class in the state.

The honest caveat runs both ways. Nobody has seen this team in 2026, and five runners is exactly five — there is no sixth on the board, so any injury is a scoring crisis rather than an inconvenience. But 84 points in a 45-team 3A field, from a projection that assumes nobody got any faster, is not a placement you argue with. It is a placement you go beat.

Did not enter a meet. Entered here at its returning five's 2025 state times plus the 0.6-second August conversion: Thomas Milton 16:36.5, Ethan Reid 16:37.1, Brian Martinez 16:41.9, Quinn Mullaney 17:16.2, Dayne Kimball 17:17.2. Average 16:53.8, spread 0:40.7.

That spread is the story. It is the tightest one-through-five in 3A by better than a minute, and it comes from five runners who have already done it in a state meet rather than from one August afternoon. The projection is close to neutral for boys — the same 162 runners were 0.6 seconds slower at Cecil in August than at state in November — so this is not a generous placement. It credits Bishop Kenny with no summer improvement and no incoming freshman while every team below it is stuck with exactly what it ran.

Sixth in Florida overall. They are the team most likely to have moved and the team we know least about.

The best returning five in the state, and it is not especially close: Taylor Lawhon, Camila Giles, Jillian Jakab and the McEnany sisters averaged 19:10.6 at the state meet inside a 1:36 spread. Converted forward, that is a 19:39.4 team average with the same spread — better than anything that actually ran this weekend.

Our preseason projection had Bishop Kenny first in 3A at 49 points, the lowest projected score of any girls team in Florida in any class. Nothing that happened Friday or Saturday challenged it, because nothing that happened Friday or Saturday involved them.

They are also the team with the most to lose from this method, in the sense that they have proved nothing since November and are being ranked first on that basis. First is what the evidence says. The evidence is nine months old.

The team that changes this list.

Bishop Kenny returns five from the state meet at a 16:53.2 average with a 0:40.7 spread — tighter than any team in Florida averaging under 17:30 actually managed to run in August. Thomas Milton 16:36.5, Ethan Reid 16:37.1, Brian Martinez 16:41.9, Quinn Mullaney 17:16.2, Dayne Kimball 17:17.2.

They did not enter a meet. Projected third in 3A at 103 points, behind Belen and Vanguard, and sixth in the state on the only scale that puts everybody in the same race.

The risk on a team like this is obvious: five returners is the minimum, so there is no margin if one of them is hurt or gone. The upside is that a forty-second pack is the hardest thing in cross country to build and the easiest thing to keep.

Two weeks, no varsity race, and still the second-best team in the state on paper. Five returning state qualifiers inside a 1:36 spread: Taylor Lawhon 18:54.8, Camila Giles 19:16.9, Jillian Jakab 19:36.6, Rebecca McEnany 19:58.0, Ava McEnany 20:30.8.

A projection carries no summer improvement and no incoming freshman, so this is a floor rather than an estimate. They entered boys at the Horse Park and not girls, which means a third week without a number.

Two weeks, no race. Projected off five returning state qualifiers inside a 0:40.7 spread — Thomas Milton 16:36.5, Ethan Reid 16:37.1, Brian Martinez 16:41.9, Quinn Mullaney 17:16.2, Dayne Kimball 17:17.2 — which is the tightest projection in the state and the reason they hold a top-ten spot on no 2026 evidence at all.

A projection credits no summer improvement and no incoming freshman. It is a floor. Bishop Kenny is entered at the Horse Park.

Taylor Lawhon 18:26.0; Camila Giles 18:48.1; Jillian Jakab 19:07.8; Rebecca McEnany 19:29.2; Ava McEnany 20:02.0.

Three weeks, no varsity race, and the last projection in the top five. Taylor Lawhon 18:26.0, Camila Giles 18:48.1, Jillian Jakab 19:07.8, Rebecca McEnany 19:29.2, Ava McEnany 20:02.0, all from last November. The virtual race has them first on that; Bishop Moore's win is a result and this is not. Five returners with state times and nobody behind them in the projection. The whole class is waiting on this team.

Three weeks, no varsity race, and the last team in the ten that has not run. Five returning state qualifiers inside 1:36: Taylor Lawhon 18:26.0, Camila Giles 18:48.1, Jillian Jakab 19:07.8, Rebecca McEnany 19:29.2, Ava McEnany 20:02.0, all from last November. On paper that five is a few seconds a runner better than Bishop Moore's Saturday, and paper is all it is. A team that has won a 67-team race is ranked ahead of it, and it stays there until Bishop Kenny runs.

Season average 19:38.9 · 1-5 spread 1:36.7 · finished 3-12-25-29-38 in the class · This week: 1st of 19 at the Buchholz Bobcats Classic (29).

Camila Giles 18:38.1; Jillian Jakab 19:21.3; Taylor Lawhon 19:58.6; Rebecca McEnany 20:01.5; Alexandra Lumpkin 20:14.8.

Opened at the Buchholz Bobcats Classic and won it with 29 points in a 19-team field: Camila Giles first in 18:37.2 by 33 seconds, Jillian Jakab third in 19:20.4, Taylor Lawhon sixth in 19:57.7, Rebecca McEnany seventh in 20:00.6, Alexandra Lumpkin twelfth in 20:13.9, on a course that reads about even for girls. One race, a 19:38.9 average, a 1:36.7 spread, and the best figure in the class. The projection is gone and the result is better than the paper. First, from second, and they have not raced Bishop Moore.

Won the Buchholz Bobcats Classic with 138 over Buchholz 4A's 147 and Mandarin 4A's 153: Dayne Kimball seventh in 16:46.0, Quinn Mullaney eighth in 16:48.8, Jack Mosqueda 27th in 17:30.1, Thomas Hurt 42nd in 17:51.3, Cole Huron 54th in 18:01.9. Brian Martinez, their third man at the Horse Park, did not run. Thirteenth to tenth on the win, with a 1:11.2 spread that is the second-tightest in the ten.

Camila Giles 18:38.1; Jillian Jakab 19:21.3; Taylor Lawhon 19:58.6; Rebecca McEnany 20:01.5; Alexandra Lumpkin 20:14.8.

Opened at Buchholz and won it with 29 points: Giles 18:37.2 by 33 seconds, Jakab 19:20.4 third, Lawhon 19:57.7 sixth, McEnany 20:00.6 seventh, Lumpkin 20:13.9 twelfth, on a course that reads about even for girls. One race, a 19:38.9 average, a 1:36.7 spread. The projection that held their place is gone and the result is better than it was. Second in Florida, first in 3A, and they and Bishop Moore have not been on the same starting line.

Season average 19:44.4 · 1-5 spread 1:27.4 · finished 5-9-29-32-37 in the class · This week: 2nd of 11 at the Katie Caples Invitational (63).

Camila Giles 18:52.9; Jillian Jakab 19:13.8; Taylor Lawhon 20:05.9; Rebecca McEnany 20:08.9; Alexandra Lumpkin 20:20.4.

Second at Katie Caples with 63: Giles second in 18:35, Jakab third in 18:38, Lawhon 18th in 19:42, McEnany 19th in 19:45, Lumpkin 24th in 19:55, and Ava McEnany 30th in 20:16 as the sixth. The best figure in the class, 113 in the virtual race, and the 1:27 spread is the tightest of the top three. First to second on a one-point loss to a team it had not raced, and that result stands until they meet again. The depth is the reason to like them in November: Moore won by a point, and it is a harder ask at state, because Kenny's pack is deeper; its fifth runner was 31 seconds ahead of Moore's fifth on Saturday, and if Kenny's fifth gets in front of Moore's fourth, the point goes the other way.

Quinn Mullaney 17:13.2; Dayne Kimball 17:14.0; Brian Martinez 17:15.5; Ethan Reid 17:26.6; Jack Mosqueda 17:49.4.

Third at Katie Caples with 73, four points behind Ponte Vedra and Buchholz 4A: Brian Martinez twelfth in 16:57, Dayne Kimball fourteenth in 17:07, Quinn Mullaney sixteenth and Ethan Reid eighteenth, both in 17:13, Jack Mosqueda 24th in 17:24. Twenty-seven seconds from first man to fifth on the day, and the 0:36.2 season spread is the tightest in the ten. Last week's win at the Buchholz Bobcats Classic is not held against them. Tenth to seventh.

Did not race its top seven. Second at Katie Caples by a point, after winning the Buchholz Bobcats Classic with 29. Camila Giles and Jillian Jakab lead a five that is only 1:27 apart, the tightest among the top three. Kenny's fifth is well ahead of Moore's fifth, and if that holds at state the point could flip. Second.

Dayne Kimball 17:14.0; Quinn Mullaney 17:29.0; Ethan Reid 17:38.4; Brian Martinez 17:39.2; Thomas Milton 18:01.6.

Tenth at Bale-N-Trail with 244, without its No. 1, Dayne Kimball, or its No. 5, Thomas Milton: Ethan Reid 29th in 17:23.8, Quinn Mullaney 33rd in 17:25.6, Brian Martinez 48th, Jack Mosqueda 59th. Fleming Island and St. Augustine finished ahead. Kenny won the Buchholz Bobcats Classic on Sept. 12 and beat St. Augustine at Katie Caples on Sept. 19 with its full team. A race without a team's top runner is not held against it. Seventh, where it was.

Camila Giles 18:52.9; Jillian Jakab 19:13.8; Taylor Lawhon 20:05.9; Rebecca McEnany 20:08.9; Alexandra Lumpkin 20:20.4.

Ran a group without Camila Giles, Jillian Jakab or any of its top seven at Bale-N-Trail: fourth in the 11th-12th grade race with 107 and fourth in the 9th-10th with 128. That isn't a team race by our rule, so the one-point loss to Bishop Moore at Katie Caples still orders them. Second in the virtual race, third here.

Ran the Nike XC Town Twilight Race of Champions in Terre Haute, Indiana, on Saturday: 16th of 44 teams with 407, Camila Giles 37th in 18:37.1 and four season bests behind her, on a course we cannot price. Best in the class-only race, and first.

Ran the Nike XC Town Twilight Race of Champions in Terre Haute, Indiana, on Saturday: 16th of 44 teams with 407. Camila Giles was 37th of 407 in 18:37.1, two seconds off her best, and Rebecca McEnany (18:52.0), Alexandra Lumpkin (19:17.5), Ava McEnany (19:25.3) and Taylor Lawhon (19:54.0) all ran season bests behind her; Jillian Jakab did not run. The Terre Haute course is one we cannot price from one Florida team, so those times are listed and not converted, and Kenny met no Florida team there. Second, in the virtual race and here. Moore beat Kenny by a point at Katie Caples, but Kenny had six runners in before Moore's fifth that day, and the bigger the field, the more that counts.

Camila Giles 18:52.9; Jillian Jakab 19:00.5; Taylor Lawhon 19:47.2; Rebecca McEnany 20:03.7; Alexandra Lumpkin 20:28.6.

Second at the JAC Invitational on Saturday with 53, 10 points behind Episcopal, without Camila Giles, its No. 1, and without Ava McEnany, its No. 7. Jillian Jakab won in 19:22.2. Second here: Kenny ran short-handed and Episcopal's 10 points are not a fair measure with Giles out. Ran the Nike XC Town Twilight Race of Champions on October 3: 16th of 44 teams with 407.
