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.
Boys XC Team Power Rankings: Week 9
"The SB Report" (click link to read the entire blog post)
Like UConn in the 2011 NCAA Tournament, this Massabesic team got hot at the perfect time as they won their first title in school history as they were led by George Morrison and Michael Aboud as they placed 9th and 11th respectively. With their tight pack, and familiarity with Twinbrooks, look for Massabesic to cause some damage at the New England Championships.
Lewiston nabbed the runner up spot in Class A as they placed three runners in the top seven, and four in the top fifteen. Mohamed Awil led the way for them with his fifth place finish. Look for Lewiston to contend for a top fifteen finish at New England’s.
Scarborough just missed the runner up spot as they got a huge run from Robby Hall who placed second running a time of 16:39.88. Look for the Red Storm to contend for a top fifteen finish at New England’s.
Falmouth placed second in Class B behind their duo of Bryce Murdick and Jay Lesser who placed 11th and 12th respectively. Look for Falmouth to contend for a top fifteen finish at New England’s.
