1. Scarborough

The Red Storm are coming off a Class A indoor championship and have a chance to unseat Bangor, which has won four of the past five outdoor titles, a streak interrupted by Scarborough in 2024. The graduation of 2025 Varsity Maine Outdoor Girls Track Athlete of the Year Emerson Flaker leaves a big gap in the sprints, but coach Denise Curry still has this year’s Varsity Maine Indoor Track Athlete of the Year, Isabella Harmon, and distance standout Laurel Driscoll, who both are returning Varsity Maine All-State selections. To win the team championship, Scarborough will need contributions from senior Olive Deyesso and junior Maggie Booth (fifth, indoor 200) in the sprints and typically strong performances in the relays. Freshman Bella Monacelli placed seventh in the 800 and mile at the Class A indoor championships.

2. Freeport

The Falcons are coming off a Class B indoor championship and are targeting an outdoor title on their home track. Coach Matt Greear’s team returns most of its scoring after finish second to Greely last year. Junior Emma Graham is a standout. Coming off her indoor 400-meter championship, she is also a top threat in the 200 dash and 300 hurdles. Top distance runners Lucy Huggett and Lilah Hall, both seniors, and Ella Oshetski, a junior, will be supported by newcomer Hope Werner. Senior Lizalyn Boudreau (sixth, outdoor 400), Claire Ramus (fourth, indoor hurdles) and Tizita Rackmales (fifth, indoor pole vault; seventh outdoors) have scored at state meets. Freeport won the indoor 3,200 relay, and Ada Shirly, Maddy York, Ruby Smith and Rachel Meader are state meet qualifiers looking to improve.

3. Cheverus/Waynflete

After finishing fifth in Class A last spring, the Cheverus/Waynflete co-op looks to move up the ladder, paced by junior sprinter Macey Weisberg (indoor 200 champ) and distance standout Paige Alexander, who battled through an injury this winter to win the SMAA mile and place third at the state meet. She is healthy entering the outdoor season and has the ability to place across the 800 to 3,200 range, heading a solid distance group that includes Allie Schmitt (fifth, outdoor 3,200), Grace Alexander (eighth, 3,200) and Annabel Kimball. Stella Hang (sixth, 100 hurdles; fourth, triple jump; eighth, long jump) and Lucy Olson (fifth, 800) are also returning outdoor state meet scorers. Coach Nick Denari believes the team has good depth with sprinters Alexis Turner and Macie Jenkins, middle distance runners Hana Hrischkorn, Hailey Joyce and Amelia Dedekian, and multi-eventer Alex Ray.

4. Yarmouth

The well-balanced and senior-led Clippers placed second in Class B last spring and lost only three points to graduation. Miah Jacobs was second in the 100 outdoors and won the 55 dash at the indoor state meet this winter. She leads a strong sprint group that includes Abby Noble, who was fourth outdoors in the 200, and sophomores Elena Owen and Ava Hoffman. That foursome returns intact from Yarmouth’s winning 400 relay team. The Clippers have an edge over Western Maine Conference rivals Freeport and defending team champ Greely in the throws, led by Ella Cameron, who placed in all three (second, javelin; third, discus; seventh, shot put) and top shot putters Linnea Herring and Grace Keaney. Lilah Connor (eighth in 800, member of fourth-place 1,600 relay) and Olivia Wentworth (fifth, 3,200) also placed at last year’s outdoor championship.

5. Massabesic

A youthful team (just two seniors) looks ready to make a big leap from last year’s 10th-place finish at the Class A state meet, with key scorers and several state meet qualifiers back and a promising freshman group. Junior sprinter/jumper Corinne Shank was third in the triple jump, sixth in the long jump and fifth in the 400. Junior Caroline Dutton and sophomore Siena Carbone are the top two Class A returners in the javelin, finishing second and fourth, respectively. Dutton was also second in the discus. Sophomores Megan Roy and Alexa Roy were state meet qualifiers in the high jump, shot and discus, with Alexa Roy placing seventh in the shot put. Senior Julianna Libby and sophomore Abigail Gilley (seventh, indoor 3200) lead the distance group, and sophomore Elizabeth Donovan was a state meet qualifier in the 100 hurdles.
