Abbey Leonardi of Kennebunk was a 4 time Class A champion, and three time Footlocker Finalist
With the end of the 2010s upon us we decided it would be fitting to list an All-Decade cross country team and program for the State of Maine.
With so much talent to pack in this was not an easy process, and for athletes to make these teams they really needed some titles won on their side to get the conversation started - whether that be at the state or post-season levels and then moving back from there to more local stuff, noting times clocked, and so on. Let's just say there were definitely athletes outside these chosen seven that were in deep consideration for the positions.
Sofie Matson of Falmouth has won three straight Class A titles, and qualified for the Footlocker Nationals two times in her three seasons.
Also this is an all-decade list, so this takes in their entire body of work during the 2010s not just one season. On the other end of that, for certain athletes this may cut off some of their competition years if they graduated at the start of the decade.
All individuals are listed in alphabetical order, there are seven to a team and there is one program that has been selected as well.
