John Wilkinson, who founded the Gorham High indoor track program, will take over as the boys’ and girls’ head indoor track coach at Cheverus.
Wilkinson coached Gorham’s boys’ indoor and outdoor track teams and its girls’ and boys’ cross country teams for 27 years. He won four state titles at Gorham, most recently in 2005.
Wilkinson’s father, John J. Wilkinson, coached Cheverus’ first indoor track team in 1977 and led that team to back-to-back Class B state titles.
BENEFIT: A mini-golf benefit for former Wells High athlete Cameren Cousins will be held Sunday at Wonder Mountain Fun Park in Wells.

The cost to enter the mini-golf tournament is $20 for adults and $10 for students. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m., with golf from 10:30 to approximately noon.
Cousins plans to enroll at Southern Maine Community College for the spring semester with the intention of playing baseball and basketball.
