Looking Ahead: Class C Boys Top returners 2014

Looking Ahead: Class C Boys Top returners 2014

Fort Kent's Matt Toussaint is the top returning state meet runner in Class C Boys in 2014. Toussaint had a strong post-season in 2013 that saw him win the PVC small school title, win the EM Regional title & finish as the Class C runner-up. Matt's best 5k time of 16:51 from the EM Regional ranks him #2 on the returners list.

Ben Allen of Winthrop is the #1 time returner from 2013, as well as the #3 state meet returner. Allen clocked his personal best 16:47.01 at the Festival of Champions. In the postseason Allen was the MVC runner-up, WM Regional runner-up & 4th place in the state meet.

NYA's Matt Malcolm will be another runner with a state title on his mind in 2014. Malcolm finished 8th in the WMC before a pair of 3rd place finishes in the WM Regional & State Meets. Matt has the 3rd fastest returning 5k of 16:52.30.

John Hassett of George Stevens Academy had an outstanding freshman campaign that saw him finish 5th in the state meet. Hassett was the EM Regional runner-up as well running his fastest 5k of the season 17:24. With another year under his belt Hassett will look to take his running to another level next fall.

The Merriconeag duo of Zachary Neveu & Tucker Pierce have the #4 & #5 fastest returning 5k times in 2014. Neveau ran 17:13.1 while Pierce's best effort was 17:14. Neveu had an off day at the state meet placing 46th, while Pierce was 12th overal.

Hall-Dale's Chris Pomerleau is another to key an eye in 2014. Pomerleau had a strong postseason in 2013 with a 4th place finish in the MVC Championship, he followed that up with a 5 place in the WM Regional, and finished up with a 6th place finish in the state meet.

George Stevens Academy is the top returning team from the 2013 state meet, and is the top based on fastest 5k returners for 2014. GSA finished 3rd in the state meet this year, and returns all 7 runners, theywill be led by John Hassett.

Winthrop & Fort Kent figured to be two other teams that will challenge next fall. Winthrop returns all 7 runners next fall, they are the 2nd ranked team based on state meet results. This fall the Ramblers finished 4th this fall, and return individual title threat Ben Allen. Fort Kent was 6th in the state meet this fall but have their entire top 7 back in 2014. They are the 3rd fastest state meet returning team, as well as 3rd best team based on 5k's from 2013.

Merriconeag Waldorf is another team to team an eye on in 2014, they were 8th this fall but have 6 runners back, and based off best 2013 5k's are the second ranked squad.
