Ranking writeups
#2 — 1A Girls Week 1
The best evidence anybody in 1A produced this weekend. Wilkinson was sixth in 1A at state in 19:00.0 and finished third at the Ragin' Storm XC Challenge in 19:37.2, behind only Natalia Gaona-Zelaya of Wiregrass Ranch and Lainee Mercer of Springstead — two runners on the fringe of the overall Florida top ten. That course took 35.2 seconds off the returners who ran it, which prices her opener at 19:02 Cecil-equivalent, or about 18:33 in November terms.
That is a 27-second improvement projected forward, against a field that gave her no help. She is ranked second over a faster returning mark because she is the only girl in this class besides Summers who has proved anything in 2026.
