Boothbay freshman Faith Blethen dominated the competition from the gun winning the Class C Southern Maine title in 20:20.23, her margin of victory was 27 seconds over Ella Brown of St Dominic's.
When asked about her strategy when running alone at the front, Blethen said "I just try to hit my splits." While Faith said she didn't hit the splits she was looking for it, it was good enough.
Blethen will certainly have more competition next weekend as Orono will join into the fray. "Take advantage of the dowhills." is what Blethen took away from her dress rehearsal on Saturday.
St Dom's Brown ran a strong last mile to get by Fiona Ahearne of Maine Coast Waldorf. Traip's Amelia Lorrey booked her trip to the state meet with a 4th place finish, while Megan Alberding rounded out the top 5 with a time of 21:30.94.
Waynflete was the team champion behind a 6th place finish from sophomore Abby Pipkin. The Flyers also got top 10 efforts from Ellie Chidsey (8th) & Gail Johnson (10th). Sophia Mayone ran her typical strong last mile to finish 18th, while Payton Sullivan rounded out the scoring in 30th.
The Flyers scored 69 points to edge Maine Coast Waldorf by 8 points.
