Not even heavy rain should stop Matt McClintock from running fast times tomorrow. Will he get the state record in the 1600 tomorrow? We will see, but expect him to smash the 3200 record.
1600
Madison senior Matt McClintock will be
racing against the clock on Saturday (weather permitting) as he will
look to challenge the record that Brandon Bonsey of Falmouth set in 2003 (4:18.51).
Luckily, runners like Chase Brown of Boothbay and Josef Holt of
Telstar should give McClintock enough of a push for him to run a fast
time. McClintock hasn't broken 4:20 in his career yet, but that
shouldn't stop him from attacking right from the gun. At the MVC
Championships McClintock ran a time of 4:21.2. Chase Brown of
Boothbay will most likely nab the runner up spot tomorrow. Last week
at the MVC Championships Brown placed second to McClintock in the
1600 running a time of 4:30.21. With McClintock likely pulling him
tomorrow, look for Brown to run a fast time. Also watch for Josef
Holt. The sophomore from Telstar has had a great spring and has run
4:33 this year. Other runners to watch for will be Rudy Guliani of
NYA and River Plouffe Vogel of GSA.
Prediction
- Matt McClintock Madison
- Chase Brown Boothbay
- Josef Holt Telstar
- Rudy Guliani NYA
- Ruver Plouffe Vogel GSA
800
The 800 could cause for the most excitement. Kameron Souza will be the favorite to win tomorrow. He has had a fabulous spring this year and comes in having run the fastest time in Class C (2:00.32). Expect McClintock to be right up there challenging for the top spot. McClintock has run the second fastest 800 time in Class C this year (2:03.90), but he is the ultimate winner and should never be counted out no matter what event he does. The battle between these two studs will be exciting to watch tomorrow. Also look out for Taylor Saucier of Freeport. He placed second at the WMC Championships

3200
Let's face it, Matt McClintock should
obliterate the 3200 record tomorrow. The current record is 9:30 set
by Scott Roberts of Marranacook back in 19:86. McClintock comes into
the meet having run 9:18.58 this spring. Chase Brown of Boothbay will
likely nab the runner up spot tomorrow as he comes into the meet
having run 9:37.77 this spring. He has had a great senior year so
look for him to run a fast time tomorrow. Josef Holt of Telstar will
be next in line. He has run 10:03 this spring. Look for him to try
and break the 10 minute barrier tomorrow. Other runners to watch for
will be Rudy Guliani of NYA, Tyler White of Orono, and Marc Hachey of
Winthrop.
Prediction
- Matt McClintock Madison
- Chase Brown Boothbay
- Josef Holt Telstar
- Rudy Guliani NYA
- Tyler White Orono
