Class B Recap
Lincoln Academy senior Sam Russ hasn't had the season he would have liked but that didn't stop him from repeating as the Class B champion at the KVAC Championship held at Cony High School on Saturday.
Russ had one of his better efforts of the fall on Saturday as he clocked a winning time of 17:26.8, 18 seconds faster than his winning effort from 2017. With Class A & B running together in the same race he placed 5th overall.
His teammate Jarrett Gulden who has finished ahead of him a couple of times this fall followed about 13 seconds behind in 17:39.
Maranacook's Luke Bartol who ran with Russ & Gulden for much of the race crossed the line in third in 18:06.9. He was followed by another Lincoln Academy runner Jojo Martin in 18:12.3.
Morse's Finn Thelen had a strong race to grab fifth place with his 18:27 effort. Next was sophomore Eamon Goscinski of Belfast (18:41.9).
Connor Freeman gave Morse another low stick with his seventh place 18:48.7 performance. Erskine senior William Bourque was eight (18:56.1). Following him was Benji Pugh of Lincoln Academy (18:56.9), while Ben Brewer of Morse rounded out the top ten (19:07.1)
