Jillian Candelino, Aidan Ryan, and Bolles repeat, repeat, repeat in Region 1 cross-country

If you were a fan of Florida high school cross-country examining the results of the 2022 2A Region 1 meet, you might have done a double-take. Weren't these the 2021 results?


Because all the winners were same and only the numbers had changed. Once again, the meet was at New World Golf Course on the west side of Jacksonville, but on Friday morning, 28 October 2022. Jillian Candelino of Bolles won the girls' 5K again, but this time it was her fourth straight Regional title, she was a senior, and her time was 17:42. The Bolles girls won the team competition again, this time with 27 points. Bolles' Aidan Ryan was first in the boys' 5K--but as a defending champion, as a senior, and in 15:46. The Bolles boys nabbed the team trophy, this time with a winning score of 33.


The girls raced first, their 5K starting at 8:00 AM. In what was likely her last high school race at New World, Jillian Candelino rolled through a 17:42--the fastest time ever run by a high school girl at the venue. Another Bolles senior, Ella Mickler, also cracked 18:00, taking second in 17:56. Bolles senior Elizabeth Csikai grabbed third with an 18:29. And as a reminder that there were other teams than Bolles on the course, North Bay Haven senior Charleen Elizando placed fourth in 18:55.


But the Bolles girls also took the fifth spot, with sophomore Estella Bruneau running 19:09. Bolles sophomore Elizabeth McClure finished the scoring for the Bulldogs, coming in sixteenth in 19:41. Once McClure was home, the Bulldogs had a mathematically unbeatable score of 27 and the Region 1 title. It was the thirteenth straight year that a Bolles girls team had won the Region.


Bishop Kenny scored 81 points to take second, led by their junio Emily Wheldon (12th, 19:34). The Jacksonville Episcopal girls were third with 86 points; their top runner was sophomore Lucrezia Gowdy (8th, 19:27). The top eight schools in the team standings qualified to race in the State Championship Meet; the remaining five qualifiers were NorthBay Haven (4th, 103 points), South Walton (5th, 125 points), Wakulla (6th, 220 points), Tocoi Creek (7th, 222 points), and Fernandina Beach (8th, 224 points).
