Team ranking writeups
#6 — 4A Girls Week 1 · 237 points
Lecanto, where they won both the varsity and the JV race. Converted average 20:26.1, spread 2:21.1. Ana Cecilia Maia Menard 19:10.5, Ella Pope 20:01.2, Anna Connett 20:12.2, Jolynn Chen 21:15.0, Harshita Anne 21:31.6.
See the sensitivity table above: sixth or seventh under every reading of that course, so read this as a tie with Sarasota rather than a placement. Menard is 11th in the 4A field, and Connett took 52 seconds off her state time.
The soft spot is Leah Foster, 20:36.2 at state, who converts to 23:55.7 here and did not score. Preseason 10th in 4A at 281.
