Week 3 Rankings: Boys Individuals  (Click to view full post)

 

1. Josef Holt Telstar
Pre: 2 Meet: at Carrebec Place: 1st Time: 15:21

Holt's 15:21 performance at Carrebec earns him the number one spot this week. To put his performance in perspective, Footlocker All-American Matt McClintock ran 15:38 on the same course two years ago. Look for Holt to contend for the win at the Manchester Invitational this Saturday.

2. Dan Curts Ellsworth
Pre: 1 Meet: at GSA Place: 1st Time: 16:43

Curts ran with his pack of teammates as he notched another victory at GSA running a solid time of 16:43. Look for Curts to contend for the win at the Manchester Invitational this Saturday.

3. Ben Trapani Camden Hills
Pre: 3 Meet: at Medomak Valley Place: 1st Time: 17:00

Trapani made it look easy at Medomak Valley as he scorched the competition winning by nearly a minute. Look for Trapani to win once again when Camden heads to Cony on Friday.

4. Ben Decker Yarmouth
Pre: 4 Meet: N/A Place: N/A Time: N/A
Decker's soccer schedule conflicted with Yarmouth's meet at Falmouth on Friday. He should still be considered one of the favorites in Class B. Look for him to run a fast time at the Manchester Invitational on Saturday.

5. Josh Horne Mt. Blue
Pre: 6 Meet: at Leavitt Place: 1st Time: 16:52
Horne clocked in a very impressive sub 17 performance on the historically tough Leavitt course which was good enough for an eleven second victory. He will face a tough challenge when Mt. Blue heads to Brunswick on Thursday.
