The class of 2026 had a great fall on the trails with nine different athletes breaking the 17 minute barrier. Enzo Giampaolo of Lewiston recorded the fastest time on the season of 16:12.36 on the lightning fast course that Brunswick has come to be known as. Unfortunately injury held Enzo out of the championship meets this fall. Marshwood's Henri Rivard who missed the state meet a year ago due to injury made the most of his opportunities in 2023 as he was the top finisher for the class of 2026 at the Class A state meet with his 16:14.83 effort for fourth place, he was followed closely by Ellis Wood of Deering less than a second later. Freeport's Alex Gilbert was the top Class B finisher for the class of 2026 with his third place effort of 16:17.67.
