Bethanie Brown (Sr. Waterville) Brown had an outstanding first season of XC last fall that saw her finish as the Class B runner-up, the time was the 6th fastest in the state (19:29.70). Bethanie followed that up with her best performance of the season at the NE Championship where she finished 5th overall in a huge personal best 18:35. The XC season was just the base work for the record breaking indoor/outdoor season for her. Indoors Brown won Class B crowns at the Mile, 800m & 2 Mile, breaking the state meet record in the mile. She went on to finish 2nd in the NE Championship in the Mile running 4:56.35 to become the first female in Maine history under 5 minutes for the mile indoors. She went on to earn All-American honors in the 2 Mile at NBIN, running 10:29.04. Outdoors Brown continued to impress as she won 1600m & 3200m Class B titles, then swept the same events at the NE Championship running 4:50.39 for 1600m which broke the Maine all-time best. She finished up her outdoor season with a Maine record in the 5k 17:11.14. Brown will be looking to add her first xc title this fall, and qualify for the footlocker national meet.
