BOYS

1. Scarborough: With multi-event standout Sam Rusak leading the way, the Red Storm could win their sixth Class A title in seven years.

2. Falmouth: Defending 200-meter champion Matt Polewaczyk could place in multiple events for a team that finished second to Scarborough last season.

3. Traip Academy: The Rangers placed fifth in Class B, but Evan Porter is the defending state champion in both the 55 hurdles and 55 dash and also is a top long jumper. He’ll be supplemented by others who finished just outside of the points.

4. Yarmouth: Led by defending Class B mile champion Luke Laverdiere, the Clippers could move up from their eighth-place finish a year ago, as other top teams graduated key scorers.

5. Westbrook: The Blue Blazes finished sixth in Class A last year, but return four multi-event athletes who scored at the state meet.
