Led by Aidan Ryan and Jillian Candelino, Bolles sweeps 2A Region 1

Bolles wins. Again.


For the fourth year in a row, the Bolles Bulldogs won top team and individual honors, both boys and girls, at the FHSAA 2A Region 1 Cross-Country Meet. This time they did it in their hometown of Jacksonville, Florida, racing at the New World Sports Complex on Friday morning, 5 November 2021.

Charleen Elizando, a junior at North Bay Haven, placed third in 19:10.

Junior Ella Mickler also placed in the top ten for Bolles, finishing seventh in 19:18. Frosh Estella Bruneau capped the scoring for the Bulldogs, coming in eleventh in 19:32. After her finish, the Bolles girls had 28 points and the school's twelfth straight 2A Region 1 cross-country title. Yes, the Bolles girls have won every Region meet since 2010.

A team needs to take the first five places to score fifteen points, the best possible total in a cross-country meet. The Bolles boys didn't stop with the top five, though. The first seven runners in the boys' 5K were all Bulldogs, the pack led by Aiden Ryan. A junior, Ryan took first with a 15:44. And as stated, Bolles had the next six places as well. Senior William Brady was second in 16:05, senior Matthew McClure was third in 16:09, junior Mattew Thomas was fourth in 16:16, senior Colin Duhnoski was fifth in 16:23, junior Daniel De Monte was sixth in 16:32, and junior Andrew McGraw was seventh in 16:33.
