Team ranking writeups
#7 — 3A Boys Week 1 · 276 points
Jim Ryun, on the most reliable non-Cecil conversion available. Average 17:06.9, spread 2:16.1. Liam Ilea 16:05.7, Nicholas Alvarez 16:58.9, Navid Lozano 17:01.4, Emiliano Lozano 17:06.9, then Tahjier Neal 18:21.8, Eric Chen 18:22.7, Jonah Myers 18:23.0.
The Lozano brothers 5.5 seconds apart, a front four inside 17:07, and then a 1:15 cliff. Their sixth and seventh men are within 1.2 seconds of the fifth, so the pack is there — it is just a minute and a quarter behind where it needs to be. Fix that and Tavares is in the four-team scrum above.
Holloway graded 38.2 seconds slow off 40 returners. This is the best-supported conversion on the page.
#8 — 3A Girls Week 1 · 286 points
Jim Ryun, on a conversion supported by 30 returners. Average 21:03.5, spread 2:03.7. Laken Hartley 20:13.6, Isabella Neal 20:25.6, Jimena Nava Garcia 20:27.8, Sophia Maldonado 21:53.3, Caitlyn Noll 22:17.3, Cassidy Noll 22:49.5.
A tight front three — 14 seconds covers all of them — and then a 1:26 gap. Same shape as the Tavares boys team seventh in their class: strong four or five deep, then a cliff. Both Tavares squads are top-eight in 3A on the same structural profile, which suggests a program building from the front.
Holloway at +47.1 off 30 runners is the firmest non-Cecil number on the girls' side. Nothing about this placement is an estimate.
#4 — 3A Boys Week 2 · 247 points

Season average 17:08.5 · 1-5 spread 2:00.8 · finished 15-45-56-57-157 in the class · Horse Park · This week: 12th at Horse Park (451).

#10 — 3A Girls Week 3 · 448 points
Season average 21:33.5 · 1-5 spread 1:38.4 · finished 51-61-78-126-132 in the class · Horse Park, Whispering Pines · This week: 22nd at Horse Park (576).

Then Caitlyn Noll 22:26.0 at Horse Park (22:30.2); Cassidy Noll 23:26.8 at Horse Park (23:31.0).
Twenty-second at the Horse Park with 576. Isabella Neal 20:43.1, Laken Hartley 21:21.7, Cheyenne Thomas 22:10.9 in her first race, Sophia Maldonado 22:41.2; Jimena Nava Garcia's 21:18.4 from Whispering Pines is still the second mark and she did not run Saturday. Three races, and the figures have drifted the wrong way: 21:03.5 average two weeks ago, 21:33.5 now. Eighth to tenth.
#5 — 3A Boys Week 4 · 289 points
Season average 16:58.5 · 1-5 spread 1:52.7 · finished 13-42-46-54-134 in the class · This week: 1st of 32 at the Astronaut Invitational (64).

Won the Astronaut Invitational with 64 over Wiregrass Ranch 4A's 84 in a 32-team field: Liam Ilea second in 16:21.5, Navid Lozano eighth in 17:13.1, Nicholas Alvarez ninth in 17:13.5, Emiliano Lozano twelfth in 17:18.0, Omar Castillo 33rd in 18:06.2. Astronaut reads slow, the run counts because it is their best, and it moves them from sixth to fifth. Four races in four weeks.
#9 — 3A Girls Week 4 · 413 points
Season average 21:21.5 · 1-5 spread 1:42.2 · finished 45-53-70-122-123 in the class · This week: 4th of 17 at the Astronaut Invitational (147).

#4 — 3A Boys Week 5 · 263 points
Season average 16:54.8 · 1-5 spread 1:53.1 · finished 9-38-43-44-129 in the class · This week: 2nd of 16 at the Coach Joe McKinney Classic (44).
Liam Ilea 16:02.1; Navid Lozano 16:48.6; Nicholas Alvarez 16:53.7; Emiliano Lozano 16:54.3; Omar Castillo 17:55.2.
Second at the Coach Joe McKinney Classic with 44 behind Hagerty 4A's 37 in a 16-team field: Liam Ilea won in 16:19.4, Emiliano Lozano fourth in 17:05.2, Navid Lozano fifth in 17:06.0, Nicholas Alvarez sixth in 17:08.1, and the fifth man 28th. Three boys within three seconds of each other behind Ilea; the fifth is the gap, and the course reads about 23 seconds slow. Fifth to fourth.
#9 — 3A Girls Week 5 · 419 points
Season average 21:22.2 · 1-5 spread 1:38.9 · finished 47-54-71-117-130 in the class · This week: 4th of 9 at the Coach Joe McKinney Classic (79).
Isabella Neal 20:35.1; Jimena Nava Garcia 20:46.8; Laken Hartley 21:15.8; Sophia Maldonado 21:59.3; Cheyenne Thomas 22:14.0.

Weeki Wachee does not have enough shared runners to be rated yet, so the win is not in the season figure. Second at McKinney and first at Astronaut before that. Fourth.
