With the 2008 XC season nearly upon us, it is time to look at the contenders for both team and individual glory this fall in the Eastern Maine Class C. The season is sure to provide XC fans in Maine with the opportunity to watch several top notch athletes chase their dream of a state title come November. With 7 of the top 10 individuals returning from 2007, the battle for the title this fall should be exciting. The team title is expected to be tight as well with several of the top teams from last fall returning key members of their squads. Foxcroft Academy last year’s champion returns its entire top 5. Mattanawcook Academy is another top team returning a strong nucleus along with other competitive teams like Lee Academy & Schenck. Will Foxcroft run away from the field? What team will be the biggest surprise? Who’s the favorite for the Individual title?
