End of the Season and Upcoming Awards

State Meet Review
Saturday was the end of a great season for Maine XC. Scarborough took the title in Class A. Caribou surprised a lot of people in Class B as they won their first state title in a long time, and NYA took the class C title in dominating fashion. NYA was one of the most underrated teams this year. They have a great dynamic duo with Cam Regan and Evan Kendall, and strong 3-5 runners to make them the clear cut favorite in class C. They will return four of their top five next year so expect them to be one of the top teams in the state in 2011. Nick Morris of Scarborough took a lot of people by surprise as he took home the individual title out kicking Mt Ararat's Andy Reifman-Packett. Morris is only a junior so expect him to be right up there next year. Silas Eastman did what he has done the entire season as he dominated the field in the class B race running the second fastest time of all classes. He was 19 seconds ahead of second place finisher Tim Follo of Falmouth. Falmouth ran their hearts out on Saturday as they were without their number two runner John Lake, who suffered a stress fracture. Henry Briggs ran his best race of his high school career running a huge personal best of 17:30. Falmouth has four out of their top five returning so expect them to be the favorite in class B next year. Madison's Matt McClintock had the most impressive race of the day as he posted the fastest time of all classes running a time of 16:00.91.
