This fall at MaineTrackXC we will feature "The SB Report". "The SB Report" will feature power rankings of the top 10 girls & boys teams, as well as individuals in the state. The author of the blog Sam Bonsey, has contributed to MaineTrackXC in the past and we are glad we can share his thoughts on the 2012 XC season. Bonsey is a former XC/track runner from Falmouth HS, and is currently a journalism student at the University of Maine. Check out his writing each week this fall.

"The SB Report" (click link to read the entire blog post)
<>1.Bethanie Brown Waterville
Brown just continues to obliterate the competition every time she laces up her spikes. She cruised to a time of 18:46.11. If the weather is up to par, look for Brown to chase down the course record of 17:48.
<>2.Erzsebet Nagy Lawrence
Nagy has been dominant since she returned from her injury and Saturday was no different as she ran to a time of 20:10.33. She is the favorite to win her first Class A title on Saturday.
<>3.Aleta Looker Ellsworth
Looker placed second to Bethanie Brown at the Class B EMR running a time of 20:14.21. Her time was the third fastest of all classes. She looks like a lock to secure the runner up spot in Class B on Saturday.
<>4. Brittany Bowman Camden Hills
Bowman placed third at the Class B EMR running a time of 20:34.43. Look for Bowman to contend for a top three finish on Saturday.
<>5.Maggie Painter MDI
Painter didn’t race on Saturday, but that shouldn’t affect her ranking for the time being. Look for Painter to contend for a top three finish in Class B on Saturday.
