Previous: 1

Meet: PVC Championships

Place: 1st

Time: 16:15.17


Curts won the PVC Championships cruising to a time of 16:15.17. Curts is the overwhelming favorite to win the Class B EMR title on Saturday. Depending on the weather, look for Curts to dip below 16 minutes.

 

<>2.Silas Eastman Fryeburg


Previous: 2

Meet: WMC Championships

Place: 2nd

Time: 16:10


Eastman took control from the gun and never looked back as he ran to a great time of 16:10. Eastman is the heavy favorite to win the Class B WMR title on Saturday.

 


<>3.Josef Holt-Andrews Telstar


Previous: 3

Meet: MVC Championships

Place: 1st

Time: 16:21

Josef’s season has been eerily similar to the one Matt McClintock had last year. Holt-Andrews dominated the MVC Championships running a spectacular time of 16:21 on one of the toughest courses in the state. To put his time in perspective, McClintock ran 16:23 at the same meet and course last year.
 
 
<>4.Jack Pierce Merriconeag

Previous: 4

Meet: WMC Championships

Place: 2nd

Time: 16:22


Pierce ran another fantastic race as he continued to chip away at Silas Eastman during the final mile at the WMC Championships. Unfortunately for Pierce, Eastman’s lead was too much. Look for Piercce to challenge Holt-Andrews for the Class C WMR title on Saturday.

 

<>5.Ben Trapani Camden Hills

Previous: 8

Meet: KVAC Championships

Place: 1st

Time: 17:09.8

Trapani used a devastating kick to run by Christian Heath of Gardiner to win the KVAC Championships running a time of 17:09.8. Trapani should contend for the runner up spot at the Class B EMR race on Saturday.
