This fall at MaineTrackXC we will feature "The SB Report". "The SB Report" will feature power rankings of the top 10 girls & boys teams, as well as individuals in the state. The author of the blog Sam Bonsey, has contributed to MaineTrackXC in the past and we are glad we can share his thoughts on the 2012 XC season. Bonsey is a former XC/track runner from Falmouth HS, and is currently a journalism student at the University of Maine. Check out his writing each week this fall.

Guadalupi had a spectacular first year on the trails as she took the KVAC by storm this fall. We got a glimspe of how good she is at the Festival of Champions as she dominated the freshmen race running a time of 19:21.39 Her time that day was the 8th fastest overall. She continued to impress in the post season. She won easily at the Mt. Blue Relays covering the two mile course in 13:18. She placed second at the KVAC Championships to Teresa Murphy of Brunswick running a time of 20:43.6. She then followed up her performance by winning the Eastern A Regional running a personal best time of 19:05.73. At the state meet last week, she placed tenth overall running a time of 20:15.42 on the historically tough Twin Brook's course. Expect her to be one of the favorites to win the Class A title next year.
