Best Dynamic Duo in the State
Previous Winners
2012: Samantha Cox and Mary Szatkowski Bonny Eagle
2011: Brittany Bowman and Willow Parker Camden Hills
1. Kialeigh Marston and Mary Szatkowski
This is Szatkowski's second consecutive time winning the Summer and Marissa Award after a spectacular year on the trails. Marston and Szatkowski were the two vital components in leading Bonny Eagle towards their second straight Class A title. At the state meet, Marston was the individual victor running a time of 19:34.16 with Szatkowski twenty seconds back placing fourth in a time of 19:54.44. This tandem became the most feared duo in the SMAA this fall, and got even stronger when the post season rolled around. At the Western Regional Championships, the duo placed first and second with Marston coming out on top. They had the second and third fastest times of all classes that day. With Szatkowski graduating next spring, it will be Marston's time to shine as she looks to defend her Class A title.

Most Improved Female Runner in the State
Previous Winners
2012: Tiana Thomas Waterville
2011: Laura Broderick Kennebunk
1. Angel Waters Massabesic
SB: 19:05
Waters is the winner of the Tyra Collette Award for most improved as we saw her emerge as one of the top runners in the SMAA this fall. Her hard work during her high school career has transformed her from a sub 27 minute 5k runner, to one of the most feared runners in the West as we saw her place seventh at the Class A state meet. To put her performance in perspective, last year she was 23rd overall. She had a great run at the Manchester Invitational back in September as she placed 14th running a time of 20:16. She continued to improve as the post season came along as she placed seventh at the Class A Western Regionals running a time of 20:21.40. Look for Angel Waters to run some very fast times on the track in the winter and spring.
