Bolles (Jacksonville)

5-man average 16:37.6 · 1-5 spread 0:56.0 · finished 2-5-8-12-18 · Cecil Field

Bolles put its whole varsity in the Cecil Field Elite race, the deepest boys field in Florida, and came out of it with a 56-second spread and seven runners inside the first 25 of the 2A virtual race. Brantley Rigdon 16:04.0, Aidan Chandler 16:28.0, Armaan Sharma 16:44.0, Wyatt Cleek 16:52.0, Vincent Barragan 17:00.0, then Luke Meiners 17:05.0 and Henry Camp 17:18.0 behind them. Nobody in this class is close to that. Only three 2A runners finished ahead of Bolles's second man — Gunther, McKeel's Aidan Alam and Gulliver's Adrian Iziliaev.

Then there is the part that should worry the rest of the class. Aaron Ches did not finish. Ches ran 16:26.1 at the 2025 state meet, twelfth in 2A, the second-fastest returning mark in this entire class — and the Cecil results list him at Bolles, not at Episcopal, where the returner file has him. If that is what it looks like, Bolles scored 45 points in a class where only one other team broke 200, with its best returning runner on the DNF line and out of the count entirely.

Bolles is fourth in Florida across all classes. It is the only 2A team on the state board that got there by racing.

5-woman average 20:34.0 · 1-5 spread 2:06.0 · finished 4-27-28-38-49 · Cecil Field

The best 2A girls team that actually ran, and it is not close. Sofie Stam 19:20.0 in the Cecil Elite race, fourth in the class and fourth on our individual board. Then Kavya Patel 20:30.0 and Palmer Edwards 20:31.0 together at 27th and 28th, Valentina Bouras 21:03.0, Eliana Bruneau 21:26.0 — and behind them Lila McGowan 21:31.0 and Peyton Hoover 21:31.0, tied, as sixth and seventh.

Bolles put eighteen girls on the Cecil Field course across two races. Seven of them are inside the first 54 of this class. That is the deepest verified squad in 2A and the only top-three team here carrying no projection risk at all.

Sixteenth in Florida — behind eleven teams that also raced and four that did not. Whether 146 beats Episcopal's 70 in November is the season's question in this class, and it will not be answered by arithmetic.

Cecil Field, 16:37.6, spread 0:56, and not a single runner in the state's top twenty. Brantley Rigdon 16:04, Aidan Chandler 16:28, Armaan Sharma 16:44, Wyatt Cleek 16:52, Vincent Barragan 17:00, sixth man 17:05.

Projected first in 2A at 52 points, and now looking over its shoulder at a 2A team four places back that did not race.

Sofie Stam 19:20.0; Kavya Patel 20:30.0; Palmer Edwards 20:31.0; Valentina Bouras 21:03.0; Eliana Bruneau 21:26.0. Then Lila McGowan 21:31.0; Peyton Hoover 21:31.0.

Cecil Field, 16:37.6, spread 0:56. Rigdon 16:04.0, Chandler 16:28.0, Sharma 16:44.0, Cleek 16:52.0, Barragan 17:00.0.

Lake Minneola beat them head to head at Cecil, 205 to 236, and is ranked behind them. That is not an error and it is the clearest illustration on this page of what the board measures. In a nine-team elite race a two-minute gap between a team's first and fifth runner costs a handful of places. In a 313-team virtual field it costs hundreds. Bolles's whole five sits between place 28 and place 136. Lake Minneola's fifth is place 372.

Still the projected 2A favorite by a distance, and still the best team in Florida without a single top-thirty individual — Brantley Rigdon, their No. 1, ranks 33rd.

Season average 16:41.8 · 1-5 spread 0:57.7 · finished 4-7-12-17-21 in the class · Horse Park, Cecil Field · This week: 3rd at Horse Park (237).

Armaan Sharma's 16:44.0 from Cecil Field still counts; he did not run in Ocala. Seven boys inside 17:19 on the season, a 0:58 spread, and the clear favorite in this class.

Their Cecil Field run two weeks earlier was nearly the same team a few seconds a runner quicker, and the season averages 16:41.8 on a 0:58 spread, the tightest five in the top ten after Nease. A six-point loss to Flagler and a 135-point win over Lake Minneola on Saturday. Still the clear 2A favorite.

Did not race its varsity; a Bolles group ran the high school race at the Katie Caples Middle School Meet, which we could not rate, and the five on the season are still Cecil Field on August 21: Sofie Stam 19:20.0, Kavya Patel 20:30.0, Palmer Edwards 20:31.0, Valentina Bouras 21:03.0, Eliana Bruneau 21:26.0. Fourth to third without racing, as Ransom Everglades slid on its Spanish River run. The number is a month old.

Seventh at the adidas XC Challenge in Cary, North Carolina. That file is not in the pool yet, so the Bulldogs stay on their Horse Park five and hold fourth. Nothing on the grass this week contradicts it.

Brantley Rigdon, the top Bolles runner on the season, ran the 11th-12th grade race instead, where the second group won with 19. Second in the virtual race and third here, behind Nease, which beat Bolles at Cecil Field. The Bale runs don't improve the figure, and a meet a team won never lowers it.
