2A Region 1 was all about Bolles

The 2A Region 1 Cross-Country Championship Meet in Lake City, Florida on Saturday morning, 2 November 2019 was all about Bolles School. The Bulldog harriers won the girls' title with a mathematically unbeatable 20 points and the boys' title with a similarly untouchable 25-point score. Bolles frosh Jillian Candelino was first in the girls' race in 19:39 and Bulldog sophomore William Brady took the boys' 5K with a 16:23.


Candelino wasn't unchallenged on the Oaks Equestrian Center course that morning. Leah Pelham, a Paxon senior, was close behind, crossing the finish line less than four seconds behind Candelino in 19:52. Bolles junior Layne Rivera was third in 19:52.

Candelino and Rivera were just the first in a lot of athletes wearing Bolles orange to cross the line in the top ten. Bulldog junior Maxine Montoya was fourth in 19:59. frosh Ella Mickler was fifth in 19:59, senior Helena Kummings was seventh in 20:00, frosh Elizabeth Csikai was eighth in 20:05, and senior Samantha Josephson was ninth in 20:05. With all seven of their runners in the top ten, the Bolles girls tallied 20 points and won the Region 1 title for the tenth year in a row.


Led by the tenth place, 20:30 performance of junior Anna Albertelli, Bishop Kenny was second with 72 points. South Walton was third with 97 points behind their top runner, junior Patasha Bryan. Bryan placed sixth overall in 20:00.


Region is the penultimate round of the state championship series in cross-country, followed only by the State Championship Meet at Apalachee Regional Park in Tallahassee on Saturday morning, 9 November 2019. The top eight schools qualified for State, so Bolles, Bishop Kenny, and South Walton were going. So were the girls from Episcopal (4th, 122), North Bay Haven (5th, 185), Sante Fe (6th, 244), Paxon (7th, 246), and Pensacola Catholic (8th, 249). For the remaining ten teams in the 1A Region 1 girls' field, the 2019 cross-country season was over.
