Team ranking writeups
#5 — 3A Boys Week 1 · 225 points
Cecil Field, one point back. Average 16:59.0, spread 1:29.0. Trevor Berquist 16:31, Christopher Taylor 16:43, Lachlan Bryniarski 16:45, Jacob Rogers 16:56, Aidan Bone 18:00, then Cooper Gumpert 18:01.
Four runners inside 16:56 and a 64-second hole to the fifth. The front four is better than Leon's and better than Ponte Vedra's; the fifth man is the whole difference. Bone and Gumpert ran within a second of each other, so this is not one runner having a bad day — it is where the roster currently ends.
Eleventh in the state, and the highest-ranked 3A team that actually beat other ranked 3A teams head to head: they were in the same Cecil field as Fort Myers, Fleming Island and Chiles and finished ahead of all three.
#7 — 3A Girls Week 1 · 212 points
Cecil Field. Average 20:22.4 — a tenth of a second better than Ponte Vedra's — spread 3:21.0, the widest in this top ten. Lyla Hallick 18:37, Cierra Mills 19:23, Reese Cartwright 20:39, Annalise Hallick 21:15, Natalie Lammens 21:58, then Anya Bryniarski 22:56 and Trista Carter 25:01.
Projected at 20:43.7 off their returning five; they ran 20:22.4, twenty-one seconds a runner faster, the biggest gain of any team in this top ten. Lyla Hallick transferred in from a 4A school and immediately became one of the four fastest girls in the class — she is why Vanguard is here at all, and the 3:21 spread is why they are seventh rather than fourth.
Their fifth scorer converts to 21:58. Five of the six teams ahead of them have a fifth scorer under 21:16.
