Maine MileSplit 2022 XC Team Countdown

With the calendar switching to August soon we wanted to switch gears from the track to the trails to get ready for the upcoming cross-country season. Athletes around the state are hitting the roads and trails building up a strong base in hopes of a successful cross-country in 2022, with the hopes of lifting the state championship as a team in November the ultimate goal. Our plan is to highlight who we think are the top 25 returning girls and boys xc teams over the next three weeks. Thanks to Cheverus XC/track coach Nick Denari for volunteering his time and efforts to put this countdown together.

Liam Card was the top finisher in the Class B state meet for the Eagles last fall.

2022 Outlook: Lincoln Academy brings back 5 of their top 7 athletes from their State Meet qualifying squad in 2021. They should be solid again in 2022 with a bevy of runners that will be in contention for their varsity squad. They had 15 runners compete in the 1600m during track season, and should be one of the deeper teams in Class B. Nick Russ seems to have made a leap forward, running 4:53 and 10:44 on the oval. He will look to run with Liam Card this season. The Eagles should return to the State Championships this fall and place even higher than in 2021.
