500 Fastest Maine Boys At Twin Brook

The 2019  Maine XC State Championship meet will be held at the Twin Brook Recreation course in Cumberland. The storied course has seen some of the top runners in the state navigate the best XC course in the state.

We've compiled a list of the 500 fastest Maine runners on the course over the last 15 plus years. The fastest Maine boy on the course is Will Geoghegan of Brunswick who clocked 15:43 to win the 2009 Class A title. Geoghegan had an epic duel with Nate Hathaway of Scarborough that year pulling away in the final 200 meters, Hathaway's time currently sits fourth best. Geoghgean went on to have an excellent collegiate career as he ran for Dartmouth College, and in his final year Oregon. He runs professionally for Nike now.

Yarmouth's Luke Laverdiere came close to breaking Geoghegan's mark back in 2017 as he stormed to the Class B title running 15:43.89. Laverdiere's run was impressive as he had to push himself as the closest runner to him that day was 1:04 behind.

Greely's Ben True's 15:45 is impressive as well as he ran that time on the older course which had two trips up "The Wall". True one of the best runner's to ever come out of Maine has had a storied collegiate and now professional career. True has run a best of 13:02.74 for 5000 meters and 27:41.17 for 10,000 meters.
