Previous Winners
2011: Laura Broderick Kennebunk
Favorites
Jillian McCallister Lawrence
McCallister is already off to a hot start this year as she took home a win at the Laliberte Invitational last weekend covering the 2.4 mile course in 16:12.07. The sophomore had an amazing outdoor season as she excelled in the 800 running 2:25. Look for McCallister to be one of the favorites in the KVAC this fall.
Molly Schassberger Winslow
The senior from Winslow will look to become one of the top runners in Class B this year. Schassberger placed 32nd at the state meet last year and should only improve from that. If her outdoor times are any indication we should be seeing Schassberger right at the top in many races this fall.
Katherine Gunther Mt. Blue
Gunther had an excellent freshmen season last fall as we saw her place 31st at the Class A state meet. The sophomore should only improve upon her placement this year as she will be one of the many favorites in the KVAC this year.
Bronte Elias Madison
The sophomore placed 6th in Class C last year running a time of 21:25. Look for her to bring her talents to another level this spring and be one of the favorites to take the Class C title.
