AUGUSTA — With state championshipcaliber focus, the Lisbon High School girls track team rolled to its seventh straight Mountain Valley Conference championship on Friday, while the boys kept pace with their teammates, getting three wins from top meet performer Morgan Reeves en route the boys’ title.

 
 
The girls piled up 181 points to beat out Madison (66), Dirigo (59), Monmouth Academy (58) and St. Dom’s (54), while Wiscasset picked up a single point.

The boys piled up 136.50 points to edge out Hall-Dale (106.50), Madison (72), Telstar (59) and Winthrop (56.50), while the Wiscasset boys took sixth (31).

 
 
“A lot of it is having the experience in being in a lot of big meets,” said Lisbon coach Dean Hall. “We go against the Brunswicks, the Oxford Hills, the Falmouths. And, even though we’re practicing on a dirt track we are able to compete against the bigger schools on their tracks.

“I really think this may be one of the best girls teams I’ve ever coached in 30 years,” added Hall. “I really think we can make a run at the state championship. Of course, we have to go against Orono, Traip and John Bapst, all of whom have indoor seasons.”
