Team Rankings: 

Commentary: Hello all and welcome back to round one of the 3A 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. Dillard HS – They haven’t raced yet this season, but they dominated the entire 2023 season and look to be just as strong this year.  
  2. Ponte Verda HS – They have already raced twice this season finishing 2nd at Cecil Field Summer Classic and winning the Middleburg Bronco Classic. They look to challenge Dillard this season. 
  3. Ocala Vanguard HS – They have also already raced twice this year. They finished 3rd at Cecil Field and won the Whispering Pines Invitational.  
  4. Our Lady Lourdes Academy – They won the Dunbar Tiger Jamboree and finished 4th at Cecil Field.  
  5. Niceville HS – I guess they moved down to 3A this year? Either way, they won the Niceville Preseason Best of Class meet and also too the win at the FWB Viking Classic. 
  6. Naples HS – They were 2nd at the Dunbar Tiger Jamboree and finished 2nd at the Lemon Bay Invitational.  
  7. Satellite HS – They won the Wickham Jamboree.  
  8. Flemming Island HS – They finished 11th at Cecil Field Summer Classic and 6th at the Middleburg Bronco Classic.

  10. Fort Walton Beach HS – They won the Dolphin Dash Invitational.  

Individual Rankings: 

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