In Class A we saw a sweep as the Scarborough Red Storm won both boys & girls titles convincingly. In Class B, the boys from Greely were tops as they ran to an impressive win, while on the girl’s side it was Cape Elizabeth dominating the rest of the competition. In Class C, Monmouth Academy surprised everyone to take the title, while it was a repeat for the Waynflete girls. Individually it was a day for repeats, surprises, close finishes and the youth movement. To start the day off Wade Davis (Hall-Dale) won his 2nd straight Class C title. On the girls side it was Adele Espy (Waynflete) adding another state champion to her collection.
