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.
Girls XC Power Rankings: Week 8
"The SB Report" (click link to read the entire blog post)
Bonny Eagle outdistanced themselves from Massabesic as their trio of Mary Szatkowski, Samantha Cox and Kristen Glennie all placed in the top ten on Saturday. They look like the early favorite to win the Class A title on Saturday.
Camden Hills took home the Class B EMR title behind Brittany Bowman’s third place finish, and great runs from Emily Lopez and Hannah Brownawell. The Windjammers are one of the hand-full of favorites to win the Class B title on Saturday.
MDI was without front runner Maggie Painter as they placed third in Class B. Waylon Henggeler and Olivia Erickson assumed top duties for them as they placed 8th and 9th respectively. With Maggie Painter back in the picture, MDI should be considered the slight favorite to win the Class B title.
Massabesic was the runner up in Class A as they were paced by Jocelyn Acheson who placed fifth running a time of 20:11.21. They placed four runners in the top 15 overall. Look for them to challenge for the title on Saturday.
