In his on words: Luke Laverdiere - Winning & Losing Derek Veilleux Nov 11, 2016

This past weekend showcased some of the incredible cross-country talent we have in this state. There were some pretty incredible races to watch! Whether you achieved the goals you had in mind or not, I wanted to congratulate everyone on a truly great season of cross-country! It is difficult to do what we do, and we did it with style and grace this fall.

In his own words: Paul Casavant - Never lose sight of your goals Nov 07, 2016

So I just ran my last high school cross country race in Maine. Congrats to all the Seniors who made it to the end of their XC season! As for the underclassmen, you have a couple more years left, so enjoy it all! I remember my first state meet vividly, and I'm sure that I will remember this one for many years! It was a crazy race!

In Her Own Words: Tia Tardy - SATs & FOC Derek Veilleux Nov 01, 2016

I know that it is kind of late to be talking about Festival of Champions, but these past couple of weeks has really given me the time to sit back and reflect on that whole day.

In her own words: Katherine Leggat-Barr - Busy Senior Year Derek Veilleux Oct 31, 2016

I am so sorry for the time since my last blog post, but nobody can truly prepare you for how crazy Senior Fall is! From lots of homework, to college visits, to practice, to applications, there is never a spare moment!

In her own words: Hannah Steelman Injuries Suck Derek Veilleux Oct 19, 2016

Happy championship season! It's crazy how quickly it got here. And it's even crazier how these next couple of weeks will be my last (!!!) of high school cross country ever. Just unreal!

In his own words: Luke Laverdiere Postseason Time Derek Veilleux Oct 18, 2016

At last, the postseason is here! It's finally time to start tapering up to run some PRs! It's always amazing to me how this time of the year seems almost like a completely different season to what has happened so far.

In his on words: Paul Casavant Finally Back Racing Derek Veilleux Oct 10, 2016

With this final weekend, the regular season is now over. Although I missed racing, it was really great to watch the culture that I enjoy being a part of so much. It made me extremely proud to be one of you all. One thing I love so much about runners is how supportive you all are for everyone.

In her own words: Hannah Steelman Lacing up the spikes Derek Veilleux Sep 20, 2016

I hope the past few weeks of races and training have treated you well. The results have already been crazy impressive, which only makes me more anxious and excited to see what the next few have in store. Its been fun lacing up the spikes again and getting back into racing, for sure.

In her own words: Katherine Leggat-Barr Plenty of time til October Derek Veilleux Sep 12, 2016

I hope you all had amazing summers and have transitioned smoothly back into school. Although the return to routine is probably positive for all of us, there is nothing like the feeling of dread that comes the last few days of vacation!

In his own words: Paul Casavant - Missing first meet hurts Derek Veilleux Sep 05, 2016

First race of the season is now behind us! I have been thinking about this race since track finished this Spring. Unfortunately, it didn't go as I had envisioned it. For those that don't know, I had a stress fracture.

In her own words: Tia Tardy - Transition Derek Veilleux Aug 30, 2016

I hope everyone had a great summer and found some time to relax before the XC season started. My mom made me take 3 weeks off after working at Waynflete's running camp with Sophia Mayone (who is AWESOME btw).

In her own words: Hannah Steelman - Setting the Tone Derek Veilleux Aug 22, 2016

For those of you don't know me, I'm Hannah Steelman. I'm a senior at Orono

High School, and I love to run. There's something about each race, workout, and run that

makes me adore the sport more and more, and I'm so thrilled to have been asked to come

back and blog again about my experiences throughout the course of the 2016 season.

In his own words: Paul Casavant - High Expectations Derek Veilleux Aug 20, 2016

I'm Paul! And I am going to be blogging for Milesplit this fall! I figure I should tell you all a little more about me. I am going to be a senior this year at Hampden Academy.

In his own words: Luke Laverdiere Yarmouth a Rising Team Derek Veilleux Aug 18, 2016

Hey everybody, I'm Luke Laverdiere and I'll be blogging for milesplit this fall! I am starting my Junior year at Yarmouth this fall, a year that is notoriously packed full with AP classes, college visits, and very little sleep. With that lingering in the back of my mind, I'm a bit apprehensive about this upcoming year but also incredibly excited for this season!
