Team ranking writeups
#4 — 1A Girls Week 1 · 203 points
Cecil Field. Five-man average 21:57.2, spread 2:43.0.
Catherine Staten 20:30, Ella Rose Hanna 20:38, Lillian Hanna 22:40, Olivia Morris 22:45, Eleanor Myers 23:13, Graham Morris 23:25, Xiaoxing Troxell 23:54.
Ninth in the preseason, fourth now, and the improvement is team-wide rather than one runner. Against the 28.8-second tax: Ella Rose Hanna took 97.5 seconds off her state time, Olivia Morris 96.8, Lillian Hanna 76.6. Three girls each improved by more than a minute and a half in real terms.
A note for anyone checking our returner files against the results: Catherine Staten in the Cecil results is the same runner as "Kate Staten" in the returner rankings, 20:04.6 at state. She raced, ran 20:30, and is correctly scored here. She was not a no-show.
Seven runners on the course, seven state returners in the program. This is the deepest 1A girls team in Florida and the one most likely to still be climbing in October.
#7 — 1A Boys Week 1 · 263 points
Cecil Field. Five-man average 18:45.2, spread 1:48.0.
Nathan Kipnis 18:08, Arlo Kistner 18:11, Judson Myers 18:45, Thomas Nichols 18:46, Elijah Larsen 19:56.
Twelfth in the preseason, seventh now, on a clean four-man front — Kipnis, Kistner, Myers and Nichols inside 38 seconds of each other. The fifth man is the whole issue: Larsen at 19:56 is 1:10 behind Nichols and turns a 1:11 four-man spread into a 1:48 five-man one.
No individual heroics here, just a team that moved up on being complete on a day several teams above it were not.
