Class of 2025


2022 Results

  • Class A State meet 49th (18:35.38)
  • Class A Southern Regional 10th (17:47.75)
  • Festival of Champions 27th (17:01.49)
  • Southern Maine Classic 2nd in freshman/sophomore race (16:41)


Keller had a rough end to his 2022 XC season as a hamstring injury flared up and slowed him to a 49th-place finish. He showed at the Southern Regional that he was capable of a top 20 finish at states if healthy. After recovering most of the winter from the injury he finished his indoor season off with a 10:21.43 to place fourth at the Class A meet helping secure the team title for the Red Storm. With the injury behind him, Keller showed his talent outdoors as he clocked a personal best 9:49.86 in the 3200m as he placed fifth. Look for Ethan to be one of the top runners in Class A this fall capable of a top-five finish if he stays healthy.
