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.

Cassie Middleton placed 8th at the Class A state as a freshman last fall.

#5-Camden Hills Windjammers

Class A #3

Class A North #1

KVAC # 1

2021 Results:

Class A North Regional:3^rd (62 points)

Class A State Championships: 9^th (194 points)

Top Returning Runners: (Based on 2021 Personal Bests)


Name	Grade	Time
Jenna VanRyn	11	19:28.28
Cassie Middleton	10	19:43.14
Lauren Howland	12	21:16.93
Addison Cortese	12	22:31.85
Lola Black	10	22:36.87
Zoe O'Brien	12	23:00.89
Annie Edge	12	23:55.78

2022 Outlook: Camden Hills was just 9^th in Class A a year ago but should be much improved in 2022. First of all, the Windjammers return the entirety of their top 7, graduating no key seniors from 2021. This team ran 4 freshmen at the State Championships, not running Cortese or Edge at that race, so they have plenty of depth beyond those listed here. Additionally, they should add incoming 9^th grader Cara Rothwell, who ran 6:06 for 1600m at Camden Rockport Middle School. Camden Hills will look to win their conference and regional this year.
