Circle Christian (Winter Park)

Cecil Field. Five-man average 18:02.8, spread 2:50.0.
Matteo Kirwan 16:34, Aschalew Parker 17:19, Jonah Lehman-Saba 17:42, Joshua Chegwin 19:15, Corban Houdashelt 19:24, Jacob Mcanlly 19:42, Lium Cook 20:34.

Second in the preseason, fifth now, and this is the ranking most likely to be wrong in their favor. Circle Christian raced at Cecil Field without their returning fourth and fifth men — Elias Houdashelt (18:25.1 at state) and William Head (18:59.1) both stayed home. In their place, Chegwin at 19:15 and Corban Houdashelt at 19:24 scored, and the spread ballooned to 2:50.

The front three are excellent and are the reason they still rank fifth. Kirwan, a sophomore, took 82.6 seconds off his freshman state time. Parker ran level. Lehman-Saba is in the results under the misspelling "Joanh Lehman-Saba" and is correctly counted here — he ran 17:42, forty seconds off his 17:01.9 state mark, in his first race back.

Circle Christian with Elias Houdashelt and Head in the lineup projects roughly two minutes better across four and five, which is the difference between fifth and second. They are ranked on the squad they entered.
