Previous Winners

2011: Laura Broderick Kennebunk

Tiana Thomas Waterville

Tiana Thomas was a key catalyst in helping Waterville place third at the Class B state championships. Her time of 20:26.36 was good enough for 13^th place in what was one of the strongest individual competitions we have seen in a while. Thomas placed 79^th at the state meet last year which goes to show that her hard work is paying off. Some highlights from her season were: a third place finish at the Mt. Blue Relays (14:00), a 44^th place finish at the Festival of Champions (20:38.67), and a 13^th place finish at the KVAC Championships (21:25.1). Expect Thomas to be in contention for the Class B title next fall.
