The first 2A cross country poll came out August 1st. It’s sponsored by the FACA (Florida Athletic Coaches Association) and hosted by flrunners.com

The Heifers (our girls) are ranked sixth, the same place we finished in Dade City last November. Our boys are ranked thirteenth, one place lower than last year’s finish, but a rare ranking for us nonetheless. We don’t have any individuals preseason ranked.

St. Thomas girls are ranked fourth in 3A. Of course defending National Champion Ashley Brasovan, now a senior at Wellington, is ranked first in 4A. Her PR’s: 4:55 (1600), 10:13 (3200), and 16:37 (5K).
