Maine Preview

The chance of the Maine all-time bests record books being re-written this weekend is pretty high with the top caliber competitors we have competing against the nations best in NYC at the Armory. The track at the Armory is considered one of the fastest indoor tracks in the country if not world. Just last weekend Kate Hall smashed two records in the 55m & long jump. Hall just a sophomore will be in the 200m, 60m & long jump this weekend. The 200m record of 25.46 is in grave danger of being shatters. On a flat track Hall has run 25.62, the banks of the Armory will certainly help her chase the record. The 60m record is 7.76 held by former Freeport sprint star Logan Crane. Crane ran the time back in 2004 at the National Championships. If last week is any indication Hall broke Crane's 55m record at the NE's, and really blew the field away in the last 10m of the race, the longer 60m should play into her advantage with her great closing speed! No high school girl in Maine had ever jumped over 18ft enetering the season, Kate has done it twice this year including a huge 18-5 1/2 leap last week to finish as the NE runner-up.

Other events where record could go down is the boys 400m with Brunswick senior Alex Nichols. Nichols is the Class A state champion & record holder. He equalled the all-time state best of 49.93 on USM's flat track to win the Class A meet. Nichols showed good form with a 7th place in the 300m race at the NE championship running 35.83. With a little comeptition to push him plus the fast track Nichols has his sights set on having his name along in the record books.

If Denzel Tomaszeswki's hamstring can hold up another record may go down in the Boys 60m. At this meet a year ago Tomaszewski added his name to the record books with a 7.15. He has run much faster at 55m this winter including his Maine all-time best of 6.46 at the WMC Championships. Hopefully his leg has recovered and we see a time close to 7.0!

In the distance events anytime senior Bethanie Brown of Waterville steps on the track there is a chance of a record going down. Brown who already holds the Maine all-time best in the mile (4:54.57) set earlier this year at the New Balance Grand Prix & 2 mile (10:29.04) which she set last year while placing 4th at NBIN. Last week Brown tuned up for nationals by finishing 3rd in the 1000 meters at the NE championship, she was under the old Maine all-time best but Ellsworth's Aleta Looker nipped her to take the spot in the record books. The speed is there and a run at sub 4:50 is hopefully in the cards. Brown who was 4th in the 2 mile a year ago has run consistently under 10:45 all year long no matter what kind of double or triple she may be doing. Even last weekend at NE's she blitzed the first mile of the race (5:09) just to get used to a fast pace, while it ended up costing her the win she was willing to challenge herself and get uncomfortable. This should help her this weekend as she goes against the best distance runners in the country.

Another record that could go down is one of the most impressive marks in the books, that the 2:13.69 clocking in the 800m by Wendy Delan of Bonny Eagle back in 1987. Ellsworth's Aleta Looker is a threat to challenge the mark though as she is coming off her finest performance of the season last weekend in the NE championships where she broke the Maine all-time best & finished as the runner-up in the 1k. Looker's time of 2:53.77 is a top 15 time in the country. She's got good speed, and certainly the strength to take a run at the record.

Should be a great weekend of action on the track, make sure you check back on MaineTrackXC as we bring you the best coverage.

Pre-Meet Coverage

• Boys National Preview by Steve Mazzone NEW YORK – History was made less than three weeks ago at the Armory in New York City - site of this weekend’s New Balance Indoor Nationals - by a runner that seems to break records nearly every time he laces up his track spikes.  Edward Cheserek, the senior from St. Benedict’s Prep in New Jersey, broke a 49-year-old national record in the two-mile run at the Millrose Games on Feb. 16 by finishing the 16-lap race with an astonishing time of 8 minutes, 39.15 seconds.  The Kenyan-born runner will conclude his final season on the indoor boards at the NBIN. His curtain call at the Armory should not disappoint. READ MORE...
• Girls National Preview by Aaron Rich NEW YORK - Last year the storylines swirled fast and furious around Erin Finn, Dior Hall, and the girls of Grosse Pointe South (Michigan).  Their incredible feats began with a National Record in the 5000 meter run by Finn with an absolutely stunning time of 16:19.69.  Finn looked effortless in her pursuit of the record as she shouldered the pacing duties early and just kept rolling.  Dior Hall (Colorado) put on a hurdling clinic in the 60 hurdles and won with a #3 All-Time clocking of 8.19.  Grosse Pointe South won the DMR in a US#4 All-Time 11:39.29 in an absolutely dominating effort.  In addition, Hannah Meier won the mile with a time of 4:42.60 after a blistering last two lap kick. Can they rekindle the magic this year? READ MORE...
