Class B State Indoor Track & Field Championship Meet Preview



Sophomore Max Spaulding of Winslow is the top seed at 52.16, while senior Griffin Maristany of Mt Desert Island is the second seed at 52.98. A week ago Spaulding won the 400m at the KVAC Class B Championship while Maristany didn't run at the EMITL meet due to illness. While Spaulding & Maristany are the top seed no one is running better than Ben Cotton of John Bapst. Cotton ran a personal best 53.04 as he won the EMITL title last weekend. Max Kummer of Fryeburg Academy won the WMC title with his 53.77 effort last Friday.

A year ago Maristany was the state runner-up when he clocked 52.35, while Cotton nabbed the last scoring place with his 55.23.
