The Chiles girls and Bartram Trail boys score narrow wins at 4A Region 1

Bartram Trail High opened in Jackonville, Florida in 2000. Lawton Chiles High opened a year earlier near Tallahassee, Florida. The cross-country teams of Bartram Trail, however, were competing in class 4A soon after the school opened, and the Bears even hosted the 4A Region 1 Championship Meet a few times. The Chiles harriers, on the other hand, only started in class 4A in 2019. Both schools were at Sante Fe College in Gainesville on Saturday morning, 2 November 2019, for the 4A Region 1 Meet. In their first appearance at the 4A Regional, the Chiles girls won their race, scoring 73 points. The Bartram Trail boys also scored their first 4A Region 1 title, edging Nease 66 to 69. Lake Brantley senior Ashley Klingenberg was first in the girls' 5K with an 18:20, while Nease sophomore Rheinhardt Harrison ran 15:30 to take first in the boys' race.


Nineteen teams were in the girls' race, each looking for a top eight finish that would earn them a berth in Florida's High School State Championship Meet in Tallahassee on 9 November 2019. Of course, the teams were also looking for a Region 1 title, as were the athletes in the race. For the seniors, it was their last chance at a Region win. Up front, three seniors were competing for that win--Ashley Klingenberg of Lake Brantley, Caitlin Wilkey of Chiles, and Alyson Churchill of Chiles. Klingenberg emerged from the scrum a few steps ahead, winning in 18:20. Wilkey was second in 18:26, and Churchill a close third in 18:28. Two more Chiles seniors, Emily Molen and Megan Churchill, took sixteenth and 22nd for the Timberwolves, running 19:45 and 20:05. Sophomore Kelly Davis finished the scoring for the Chiles girls, placing 39th in 20:41. Once Davis was across the finish line, the Chiles girls had a winning 73 points.


Led by senior Mikaela Brown, Mandarin placed second with 91 points. Creekside was third with 129 points, behind junior Elizabeth Iliff (4th, 18:37), their top runner. Niceville (4th, 141), Oviedo (5th, 165), Buchholz (6th, 167), Fleming Island (7th, 174), and Spruce Creek (8th, 231) also advanced to State.

Four years before Ashley Klingenberg won the 2019 4A Region 1 girls' race, she won FLYRA's 2015 Middle School Cross-Country Girls' State Championship.
