| 11:55am | EE 400m | FINAL (sections) |
Anytime Victoria Bossong steps on the track state all-time bests marks are in danger of being shattered. So far this winter she has broken the 300m & 400m all-time state records. She'll be looking to lower her own 400m mark on Friday of 55.66 which she ran at BU Last Chance Invitational. Bossong was third in the New England Championship 300m last weekend clocking a 39.68 state best, she's the only schoolgirl in Maine history to run under 40 seconds for the event. Her 39.68 converts to a 55.41 for 400m which is faster than her 400m best.
| 1:30pm | EE Sprint Medley Relay | FINAL |
The state all-time best of 3:40.32 set by Scarborough back in 2010 will be under pressure by the Red Storm. Adding up the best times of the four running gives Scarborough a 3:38.03, and there is room to lower than mark. Ben Hatch will start things off, he will hand to junior Salvator DeBenedetto for the other 200m leg, while sprint standout Jarett Flaker will do the 400m carry before passing to Noah Drapeau for the 800m. Drapeau had his first sub 800m carry at the New England Championship last weekend.
| 2:00pm | B - EE High Jump | FINAL |
Class A state champion Anthony Clavette of Scarborough will compete in the emerging elite high jump on Friday. Clavette enters with a personal best 6-5 1/4, and will be looking to clear a new best at NBIN. He placed 8th in the New England Championship with a 6-3 clearance.
| 2:00pm | G - EE High Jump | FINAL |
Portland's Jaidyn Appel & Gorham's Evelyn Kitchen will be in flight two of the emerging elite high jump.

Kitchen cleared a best of 5-6 early on in the season and has only jumped two other times this season.
| 2:30pm | EE 200 | Trials |
Bossong will be back on the track for the 200m where she holds a personal best of 25.43 which she ran USM on a flat track. A sub 25 clocking is certainly within her ability level, and only one Maine high school runner has accomplished that feat, Kate Hall of Lake Region (24.81) back in 2013. If Bossong qualifies for the final she would return at 7:30 for the finals.
| 6:00pm | G - High Jump | FINAL |
