Team Rankings: 

Commentary: Hello all and welcome back to round one of the 2A rankings. We are just getting started on the season. Many top ranked teams haven’t raced yet, so a lot of guess work went into this round. But we still have a general idea of what we are working with.  

Rank. (Previous Rank) School = Comments 

  1. (NA) Bishop Kenny HS – BK starts the season in the same position that they ended it last year, ranked first. They kicked their season off at the Middleburg Bronco Classic and earned a 2nd place finish behind Ponte Vedra HS. 
  2. Bolles HS = Bolles doesn’t seem to have raced their A Team yet, and even so, they are still ranked in the 2A Virtual Meet scoring. They opened up their season with a 14th place finish at the Cecil Field Summer Classic. Hopefully we get to see them at full strength soon.  
  3. Episcopal School of Jacksonville – The haven’t raced yet this season, but they finished 3rd at the stat meet last year and should return virtually their entire top 7. 
  4. Carrollton School of the Sacred Heart (My Team) – We opened up our season with a 3rd place finish at the Park Vista Cobra XC Invite. We were missing 2 of our top 5 returners, which included last year’s 5th place finisher Grace Aldrich. We should be running a full squad in the next couple weeks. 
  5. Bishop Verot HS – They haven’t raced yet, but with UF commit Mackenzie De Lisle leading the way, they should be one of the top squads in the state again this year. 
  6. Berkley Prep HS – They kicked off their season by winning the Dunedin Falcon Invite, defeating 3A powerhouse Oceola in the process. 
  7. Ransom Everglades HS – Ransom opened up their season by winning the Palmer Trinity Invite. They ran a pack with less than 20 seconds separating their top 5 runners. They added Gilian Carvalho to their varsity squad this year (finished 9th at FLYRA XC) and return 5 of their top 7, so they should make their way up the rankings. 
  8. Fernandina Beach HS – Opened up their season by finishing 17th place at Cecil Field Summer Classic. 
  9. Stanton Prep HS – Finished 20th place at Cecil Field Summer Classic.
  10. West Shore HS – Finished 2nd place at the Wickham Jamboree behind 3A powerhouse Satellite HS.

 

Individual Rankings: 

Commentary: Same as above. Not all courses are the same. Head-to-head competition is heavily weighted. Lets ride! 

Rank. (Previous Rank) Name, Grade – School = Comments 

  1. Annabella Tomasic 8 – Lake Highland Prep = Last year’s XC state champion opened up her season with a 3rd place finish at Cecil Field Summer Classic. She looks to defend her title. 
  2. Mackenzie De Lisle 12 – Bishop Verot HS – She has not raced yet this year, but the 2024 2A Mile Champ should be primed to push Tomasic for the title.
  3. Jazlyn Forbes 11 – Oasis HS – Opened up her season with a 18:46 win at the Dunbar Tiger Jamboree.
  4. Margaret Bartlow 12 – North Bay Haven –  She has not run yet this year, but she should be one to watch this season.
  5. Grace Aldrich 12  – Carrollton School of the Sacred Heart – She hasn’t raced yet this year, but she finished 5th place at State XC meet last year and is quite fit heading into her senior campaign.
  6. Sofie Stam 8 – Bolles HS – She did not run well at the Cecil Field Summer Classic, hoeever, she was 6th in both the 1600 and 3200 at the 2024 State Meet, and 7th at XC States, so we can expect her to bounce back soon. 
  7. Estella Bruneau 12 – Bolles School – Also did not run fast at Cecil Field, but last year’s 9th place finisher at the XC State meet should be primed and ready to roll.
