Niceville High School won both varsity team titles at the Okaloosa County Championship on October 20, 2026, at Twin Oaks Park in Niceville. The girls scored 19 points, while the boys finished with 26. Harmony Holland and Bryant Olson also delivered individual victories for the Eagles.
Holland leads Niceville girls
Holland won the girls 5-kilometer race in 18:58.2, ahead of Fort Walton Beach freshman Mia Jucha in 19:05.4. Niceville filled the next three places with Sophie Clapp, Lola Jackson and Carolina Ramos. Riley Marise completed the Eagles’ scoring group in sixth place.
Fort Walton Beach finished second with 47 points, followed by Crestview with 91. Rocky Bayou Christian scored 112 and Baker finished with 136. Niceville’s five scorers occupied five of the first six scoring positions.
Olson sets the pace in boys race
Olson won the boys race in 15:34.5, with Rocky Bayou Christian’s Dominic Ferguson second in 16:06.3. Crestview’s Tucker Sheldon placed third in 16:15.1. Brody Mathis, Carson Jackson, Sebastian Riemer and Reid Sadowski completed Niceville’s five scorers.
Crestview took second with 62 points, ahead of Fort Walton Beach’s 69. Niceville’s winning margin was 36 points. The results were published by TFRRS following the county meet.
FSB Take
Niceville paired individual wins with the depth needed to control both team competitions. The girls were especially convincing with five scorers in the first six scoring places. Maintaining that support behind the lead runners will be important when the postseason fields become deeper.
