At Alligator Lake, Margaret Bartlow and Christopher Joost snare 2A Region 1 cross-country wins

The FHSAA 2A Region 1 Cross-Country Championships were at Alligator Lake Park in Lake City, Florida on Thursday morning, 9 Novmber 2023. Margaret Bartlow, a North Bay Haven junior, won the girls' 5K in 18:28. Christopher Joost, a Bolles senior, won the boys' 5K in 15:57. But Bishop Kenny swept the team title, with the Bishop Kenny boys taking first in their race with 48 points and the Bishop Kenny girls winning with 30 points.


Six days earlier Bartlow had won the 2A District 1 girls' 5K by more than 200 meters. She was 40 meters ahead when she crossed the finish line at Alligator Lake, winning the Region 1 race in 18:28. Bolles seventh-grader Sofie Stam, the 2A District 2 champion, finished runner-up to Bartlow in 18:44. Bishop Kenny junior Teresa Massa edged Bolles junior Estella Bruneau for third, 18:44 to 18:36.


The next three places belonged to the Bishop Kenny girls, with senior Emily Wheldon fifth in 19:11, junior Stephanie Grden sixth in 19:12, and sophomore Alexis Wilson seventh in 19:19. Bishop Kenny's fifth scorer was senior Davis Johnson, ninth in 19:31, giving the Jacksonville team 30 points and their first Region 1 title since 2009.


In the years since that 2009 Bishop Kenny win, 2010 to 2022, the Bolles girls had been the Region 1 champs thirteen straight times. That streak ended at the 2023 meet, with the Bulldogs placing runner-up with 49 points. Jacksonville Episcopal was third with 94 points, led by eighth-grader Stella Krueger, thirteenth in 19:42. Also making the top eight and qualifying for the State Championship were Fernandina Beach (4th, 130 points), Wakulla (5th, 201 points), Florida State University School (6th, 202 points), Wolfson (7th, 218 points), and North Bay Haven (8th, 239 points).

As with the girls' race, the boys' 5K was a showdown between the best of 2A District 1 and the best of 2A District 2. Christopher Joost of Bolles made the argument for the superiority of his District; the District 2 champion won the 2A Region 1 race in 15:57, finishing over a hundred meters ahead of the Distict 2 champ, Henry Lewis of Wakulla. Lewis, a sophomore, was runner-up in 16:18. A few steps behind Lewis, Florida State senior Xavier England (3rd, 16:22) outkicked Bishop Kenny senior Alejandro Vinas (4th, 16:22) and Bishop Kenny junior Juan Pablo Castillo-Zima (5th, 16:23).


Bishop Kenny put a third runner in the top ten as well; junior Jack Liuzzo was eighth in 16:30. Juniors Emory Dilts (13th, 16:55) and William Johnson (18th, 17:16) finished the scoring for Bishop Kenny, giving the Crusades boys a narrow 48 to 50 win over Bolles, the defending team champs in Region 1. The Bishop Kenny win ended an eight-year reign by the Bolles boys as Region 1 champs. Before that, from 2001 to 2014, the Bishop Kenny boys had won fourteen straight Region 1 titles.


Episcopal took third in the field of sixteen, scoring 138 points behind their top runner, junior Jake Officer, tenth in 16:33. The other five teams cracking the top eight and qualifying for the State Championship meet were Wolfson (4th, 171 points), Suwannee (5th, 181 points), West Florida (6th, 204 points), Pensacola Catholic (7th, 216 points), and North Bay Haven (8th, 220 points).

John Keester and Mackenzie Klein were victors at Alligator Lake

Saturday, 7 October 2023 was the morning of the fifteenth annual Alligator Lake Cross-Country Invitation at Alligator Lake Park in Lake City, Florida. Fleming Island seniors John Keester IV and Graham Myers went one-two in the first race of the meet, the high school boys' 5K, running 16:07 and 16:17. The two also led Fleming Island to first place in the team standings with 39 points. Mackenzie Klein, an Oak Hall senior, won the high school girls' 5K in 19:15; her team was first in that race with 67 points.


It was the first win of the season for Keester, who had finished behind his teammate Graham in five previous races--the Cecil Field Summer Classic on 25 August 2023, the Florida Horse Park Invitational on 2 September 2023, the Katie Caples Invitational on 16 September 2023, the Wingfoot Classic on 22 September 2023, and the FSU Invitational on 30 September 2023. Behind the Fleming Island duo of Keester and Graham, Fort Walton Beach senior Grant Chastain took third in 16:27.


Keester and Graham couldn't win the meet for Fleming Island on their own. Another Golden Eagle broke into the top ten--senior Roman Mollicone was seventh in 16:54. Fleming Island junior Jacob Campbell was thirteenth in 17:09 and sophomore Andrew Boyer was sixteenth in 17:20, giving the boys in green-and-gold a winning score of 39 points. It was the school's first Alligator Lake title.


Oak Hall placed second in the 23-team field with 68 points; their top finisher was junior Peter Peloso (8th, 16:59). Fort Walton Beach was third with 118 points, led by Grant Chastain.

Chiles boys and Fleming Island girls triumph in 4A Region 1

Saturday, 7 November 2020, was not a great day for repeat winners at the FHSAA 4A Region 1 Meet.


Having graduated, Ashley Klingenberg wasn't around to defend her Region 1 title, and Niceville senior Lillian Holtery became the 2020 champion, running 19:12. Fleming Island scored 81 points to take the girls' team title, knocking off defending champ Chiles. The Chiles boys won the team title in their race with 47 points, while the defending champs from Bartram Trail were fourth. But Rheinhardt Harrison broke the pattern. The Nease junior successfully defended his 2019 title, cruising to a 15:46 win in the boys' 5K.


If there was a rematch in the girls' race it was between Lillian Holtery and Elizabeth Iliff. Iliff, a Creekside senior, and Holtery had finished just seconds apart in the 2019 Region 1 meet, with Iliff fourth in 18:37 and Holtery fifth in 18:40. The two were part of a lead pack of ten runners at the midpoint of the 2020 race. As the race wore on, the pack shrank. With the finish line approaching, Holtery charged away from Iliff and won the race, 19:12 to 19:15. Jada Williams, a junior on the Flagler Palm Coast team, placed third in 19:19.


In the team standings, Emma Millson led Fleming Island's charge; the Golden Eagle senior was sixth in 19:46. Another Fleming Island senior, Marisa Kortright, was eleventh in 20:05. The remaining Golden Eagle scorers were juniors Mei Chang (13th, 20:10) and Grace Adams (14th, 20:15) and frosh Allie Knotts (44th, 21:45), giving Fleming Island 81 points and the 2020 4A Region 1 girls' title.


Mandarin, led by junior Lauren Conover (15th, 20;19), was a close second with 90 points. Iliff and Creekside took third with 114 points, while Holtery and Niceville were fourth with 121 points. Spruce Creek took fifth, also with 121 points, but losing the tie-breaker to Niceville. It was an especially bitter loss, because only the top four teams qualified for the State Meet. For the rest of the field, the 2020 cross-country season was over.

Rheinhardt Harrison entered the boys' race as not only the defending 4A Region 1 champion, but also the 2019 4A State champion. He looked like it. Harrison led nearly the entire race, winning by more than 100 meters. Nease senior Bradley Ball was second to his teammate in 16:09. A sprint to the finish line decided third, with Forest senior Ashton Deriso (3rd, 16:45) outkicking Buchholz senior Ashok Jaishankar (4th, 16:46) and Chiles junior Ben Kirbo (5th, 16:46).

Rheinhardt Harrison

Kirbo was the first Timberwolf across the finish line, but he was followed by sophomore Wyatt Townsend (7th, 16:54), senior Nathan Reffitt (8th, 16:54), senior Jackson Sytsma (18th, 17:20), and junior Filippo Reina (19th, 17:20). Those five scored 47 points for Chiles, putting their squad first in the team standings. Chiles boys' teams had won a few class 3A state titles over the years, and more than a few class 3A regional titles, but this was their first regional win in class 4A.


Placing second, Creekside came close to keeping Chiles from the Region 1 title, scoring 52 points behind the ninth-place finish of Creekside junior Jesse Benavides (16:57). Rheinhardt Harrison and Nease scored 65 points, taking third. Bartram Trail, the 2019 champions, placed fourth with 73 points, led by senior Jahari White (6th, 16:48). As the top four teams, Chiles, Creekside, Nease, and Bartram Trail qualified for the State Final.


The FHSAA State Cross-Country Final is at Apalachee Regional Park in Tallahassee, Florida, with the 4A races scheduled for Saturday morning, 14 November 2020.

Region 1 at Alligator Lake is the last win before State for the Leon girls and Ponte Vedra boys

In Florida high school cross-country, the Regional Meets are the penultimate round of the state championship series, the last race before the State Meet. For Leon High frosh Patrick Koon and Fort Walton Beach senior Kambry Smith, it was also their last win before State. In Lake City's Alligator Park on Saturday morning, 7 November 2020, Koon won the boys' 5K at the 3A Region 1 meet, running 16:19. Smith took first in the girls' race at the meet with an 18:45. The Leon girls were first in the Region with 70 points, while Ponte Vedra claimed the Region 1 boys' title with 54 points.


The girls raced first at Alligator Lake Park. Saint Augustine junior Reilly Barber hung with the leader, Kambry Smith, for the first half of the girls' 5K, but Smith left Barber behind during the second half of the race, winning 18:45 to 18:58. Leon senior Lilli Unger moved up through the field after mid-race to take third in 19:15.


Unger was joined in the top ten by Leon sophomore Lillee Tang, tenth in 20:13. Sophomores Lily Moore (12th, 20:23) and Stella Lewis (19th, 21:16) also scored for Leon, as did Lion senior Avery Calabro (30th, 21:44), each contributing to their team's winning total of 70.


Led by Reilly Barber, Saint Augustine was a close second with 75 points. Ponte Vedra edged New Smyrna Beach for third, 98 to 102--Ponte Vedra led by senior Lauren Bing (4th, 19:45) and New Smyrna Beach by senior Emma Schlageter (8th, 20:01). As the top four teams, Leon, Saint Augustine, Ponte Vedra, and New Smyrna Beach qualified to advance to the State Championship Meet.

The boys' 5K looked a lot like the 3A District 2 race a week earlier. Leon's Jacob Rogers and Patrick Koon spent the first half of the race patiently tucked back in the pack, then moved into the lead during the last two kilometers. At the District, though, Rogers had left Koon behind. At the Region it was Koon's turn to shine, and the Leon frosh charged home to win in 16:19. Sophomore Rogers was second in 16:26. Pace senior Francisco Ramirez, runner-up in Region 1 in 2019, placed third in the 2020 race at 16:36.

Patrick Koon

Koon and Rogers, though, were Leon's only two runners in the top ten. Ponte Vedra had three--senior Lucas Bouquot (6th, 16:49), sophomore Grant Doherty (7th, 17:02), and senior Joshua Cills (9th, 17:12). Ponte Vedra's remaining scorers were seniors Aidan West (13h, 17:32) and Colin Lytle (27th, 17:55). Those five scored 54 points for the Sharks, good enough for the Region 1 title.


Led by senior Ryan Sloan (5th, 16:49), Fort Walton Beach was second with 68 points. Saint Augustine placed third with 74 points; their top runner was senior Bela Schein (8th, 17:02). Leon was the final team in the field to qualify for State, taking fourth with 114 points.


The FHSAA State Cross-Country Championship is slated for 13-14 November 2020 at Apalachee Regional Park in Tallahassee, Florida. Class 3A is scheduled to race on Saturday morning, the second day of competition. But keep an eye on the Gulf of Mexico, because Tropical Storm Eta just might interfere with those plans.

Grace Koeppel and Leo Rutledge lead a Maclay sweep of 1A District 4

For some athletes in North Florida, the high school cross-country state championship series opened in Lake City on Thursday, 29 October 2020 with the 1A District 4 Meet. Maclay swept the team titles in that opening round competition at Alligator Lake Park, the girls scoring a winning 19 points and the boys nabbing first in their race with 18 points. Maclay frosh Gracie Koeppel was first in the girls' 5K with a 20:50. In the boys' 5K, Maclay senior Leo Rutledge edged Maclay junior Jackson Yarbrough for the win, 17:24 to 17:25.

Grace Koeppel

Morgan Wilson, a Community Christian junior, was second in 21:11. As it turned out, Wilson was the only barrier between Maclay and a perfect score, because the next four places were Maclay's remaining scorers--seventh-grader Lillian Koeppel was third in 22:24, frosh Natalie Hammett was fourth in 22:29, seventh-grader Nishi Bhanderi was fifth in 22:57, and eighth-grader Payton Thumm was sixth in 22:58. After that wave of blue-clad runners, Maclay had nineteen points and the 2020 1A District 4 girls' cross-country title.


Led by Wilson, Community Christian was second in the team standings with 50 points. Saint Joseph scored 71 points to take third; the top runner on the Saint Augustine school's team was sophomore Ana Whitehouse, seventh in 23:26. Aucilla Christian was fourth with 110 points, led by their top sophomore, Samantha Drawdy (18th, 25:15).


Maclay, Community Christian, and Saint Joseph qualified for the next round in the state championship series, the 1A Region 1 Championship Meet at New World Golf in Jacksonville, Florida on Friday morning, 6 November 2020.

In the girls' race, only Community Christian's Morgan Wilson prevented Maclay from having a perfect score. Similarly, in the boys' race only one runner came between Maclay and a perfect score. After Maclay's Leo Rutledge (1st, 17:24) and Jackson Yarbrough (2nd, 17:25) had taken the first two places for the Marauders, Saint Joseph sophomore Victor Farfan grabbed third with a 17:55.

But Farfan was followed by a lot of runners in Maclay blue. Marauder sophomore Clayton Knox was fourth in 18:05, Marauder sophomore Carter Rothell was fifth in 19:01, and Marauder junior Lawrence Bishop placed sixth in 19:13. That gave the Maclay boys eighteen points and the win.


Victor Farfan and Saint Joseph put up 69 points and grabbed the runner-up spot in 1A District 4. Community Christian, led by senior Nicholas Ciarlariello (8th, 19:26), scored 80 points for third.

Led by Junious Brown and Ella Porcher, Maclay paints Region 1 blue

There was a lot of Maclay blue on the podium at the FHSAA 1A Region 1 Cross-Country Championship in Lake City. That Saturday morning, 2 November 2019, Maclay won team titles in both the girls' race and the boys' race. Maclay frosh Ella Porcher took first in the girls' 5K, running 19:42. Junious Brown, a Maclay senior, won the boys' 5K in 16:00.

Ella Porcher

Up front, the girls' race could have been a replay of the 5K at the 1A District 1 Championship Meet, ten days earlier. There, Porcher had finished thirteen seconds ahead of runner-up Laci Watford, a University Christian sophomore. In the Regional 5K, Porcher and Watford were again the first two finishers, with Porcher beating Watford across the finish line 19:42 to 19:52. Maclay senior Hannah Hosay placed third in 20:34.


Porcher and Hosay were only the first two of four Maclay athletes in the top ten. Eighth-grader Susan Koeppel was less than a second behind Hosay, fourth in 20:35. Maclay frosh Sofia Paredes was eighth in 21:09. Senior harrier Rachael Stockel completed Maclay's scoring, coming in eleventh in 21:31. Once Stockel had finished, the Maclay girls had a mathematically unbeatable 23 points and the Region 1 title for the sixth year in a row.


Providence, led by eighth-grader Caitlynn Schultz (12th, 21:34), was second with 83 points. Providence was the last school to beat the Maclay girls at the Region 1 meet, winning Regional titles in 2011-2013. Saint Joseph was third with 100 points; their top runner was frosh Ana Whitehouse (7th, 21:06). Baker took fourth with 114 points, led by senior Maya Espinosa (5th, 20:40). Espinosa had been the 1A Region 1 champion in 2014 and 2015.


The top eight teams qualified for the Florida's State Championship Meet in High School Cross-Country at Apalachee Regional Park in Tallahassee on 9 November 2019, so Maclay, Providence, Saint Joseph, and Baker all earned their tickets to State. Pensacola Christian (5th, 148), Community Christian (6th, 148), Saint Johns Country Day (7th, 172), and Bishop Snyder (8th, 222) also advanced.

Ten days after successfully defending his 2018 1A District 1 title, Maclay's Junious Brown successfully defended his 2019 1A Region 1 title. The Maclay senior won the Regional race by an even bigger margin in 2019; his winning 16:00 put him nearly 100 meters ahead of the next runner. Matthew Stratton, a sophomore running for Saint Johns Country Day School, took second in 16:20. Blountstown senior Xander Peacock was third in 16:47, and North Florida Christian senior David Andrew Keen was fourth in 17:01.

Junious Brown

Pensacola Christian put three runners in the top ten--sophomore Jonathan Tutton (5th, 17:06), frosh Andrew Birx (6th, 17:22), and senior Carstan Cochran (10th, 17:52). But while the Pensacola Christian boys were waiting for their fourth runner, Maclay put their remaining scorers across the finish line--frosh Clayton Knox (11th, 17:54), frosh Carter Rothell (18th, 18:16), junior Michael Sweeney (21st, 18:21), and junior Sean-Patrick McCann (22nd, 18:24). The Marauder boys had 70 points and their first Region 1 team title since 2016.


Pensacola Christian was a close second with 79 points. Bishop Snyder, lead by sophomore Grayson Gully (9th, 17:45), placed third with 99 points. The remaining State qualifiers in the boys' 5K were Saint Joseph (4th, 153), Saint Johns Country Day (5th, 157), Paxton (6th, 168), Blountstown (7th, 179), and Community Christian (8th, 200).

Kambry Smith, Lewis Benitez-Chaparro, St. Augustine, and Leon keep rolling toward State

At its most challenging, cross-country is a sport of barriers. Hills, hedges, fallen trees, fences, and creeks are all barriers that an athlete might encounter during a cross-country race. For a high school cross-country team in Florida, though, there is one last barrier before the State Championship Meet, and that's the Regional. In order to get to State, a team has to place high enough in the Regional Meet to qualify. At the 3A Region 1 Championship Meet on Saturday morning, 2 November 2019, the Saint Augustine girls cleared that hurdle with room to spare, winning the regional title with 40 points. Likewise, the Leon High boys won their race, scoring 48. Fort Walton Beach senior Kambry Smith took first in the girls' 5K, running 18:42.44. In the boys' 5K, Vanguard senior Lewis Benitez-Chaparro edged Pace junior Francisco Ramirez for the win, 16:09.05 to 16:10.00.

Kambry Smith

For Kambry Smith, it was her second post-season win during 2019; nine days earlier she had won the 3A District 1 girls' 5K at Apalachee Regional Park, leading her team to a spot in the Regional Meet. Saint Augustine sophomore Reilly Barber took the runner-up spot behind Barber with a 19:07. Another Saint Augustine harrier, senior Madison Niederriter, was third in 19:14. Ani Veltcheva, a Gainesville sophomore, placed fourth in 19:23.


Saint Augustine had three runners in the top ten--more than any other team--when Elliott Fluman, a senior, finished fifth for the Yellowjackets in 19:25. Juniors Karah McElhone and Illiana Woodruff completed the scoring for Saint Augustine, placing fourteenth in 20:39 and eighteenth in 20:56. With that, the Yellowjackets had 40 points and the first-place team trophy.


Ponte Vedra and Leon each had 100 points. Leon's top runner, junior Avery Calabro (6th, 10:40), finished well ahead of Ponte Vedra's ace, junior Lauren Bing (16th, 20:50). But in high school cross-country, when scores are equal it's the sixth runner that decides the team's place, and Ponte Vedra's sixth runner, senior Sarah McMullin (43rd, 21:44), gave her team the advantage and second place. Leon was third in the eighteen-team field.


The top eight teams qualified for State. Saint Augustine, Ponte Vedra, and Leon each advanced, as did Fort Walton Beach (4th, 149), Choctawhatchee (5th, 170), Matanzas (6th, 180), Wakulla (7th, 237), and Vanguard (8th, 251).

Lewis Benitez-Chaparro and Francisco Ramirez had already tangled nine days earlier in the boys' race at the 3A District 1 Meet. That race had gone down to the final 200 meters, when Benitez-Chaparro pulled away with the finish line in sight and grabbed a 16:04 to 16:11 win. It was even closer in Lake City. Vanguard's Benitez-Chaparro crossed the finish line less than a second before his Pace rival, Ramirez. Benitez-Chaparro had beaten Ramirez again, 16:09.05 to 16:10.00, but the two would meet again a week later at the State Meet.

Behind the duelling Benitez-Chaparro and Ramirez, Leon sophomore Jackson Yarbrough placed third in 16:30. Leon frosh Jacob Rogers took fourth in 16:43, edging out Choctawhatchee junior Darius Johnson (5th, 16:44).


Leon had a third top-ten finisher, senior Assencha Ashebo, who was seventh in 16:50. Leon's remaining two scorers were seniors Bryson Gonzalez (14th, 17:00) and Jackson Roberts (20th, 17:15), giving the Lions 48 points and the Region 1 title--their first since 2014.


Ponte Vedra, led by junior Lucas Bouquot (6th, 16:46), was second among nineteen teams with 108 points. Darius Johnson's Choctawhatchee team was third with 130 points, just a few points better than Gainesville (4th, 135) and Stanton (5th, 136). Also qualifying for State were Fort Walton Beach (6th, 160), Lincoln (7th, 180), and Vanguard (8th, 196).


The State Championship Meet will be in Tallahassee, Florida at Apalacheee Regional Park on Saturday morning, 9 November 2019. Florida's State Championship in High School Cross-Country has been contested 53 times since 1947; the meet has been at Apalachee Regional Park each year since 2012.
