Meet the 2025-26 Press Herald All-Region boys swimming team

These swimmers capped their strong seasons with high finishes in the state championship meets.

This year’s list includes Maine’s first co-ed New England champion since 2018.

Windham’s Tyrie James and Cheverus’ Kylie Lamson earn player of the year honors.

Travis Roy Award winner Jake Skillings named as one of the first team forwards.

Skillings, who led his team to a second straight Class A championship, is chosen as Maine’s best senior hockey player.

Thornton Academy finishes atop rankings, where it has been since the second week of the season.

Nearly 18% of the state’s 79 programs will have new head coaches in 2026, and several will be first-time varsity coaches in their 20s.

Thornton Academy’s Trent LeSieur and Jake Skillings are joined by Cheverus/Yarmouth’s Ben Dumais and Falmouth’s Cale Hanson.

Carter VerLee leads the Navigators to a second straight boys title, and the girls win their first championship since 2009.

The defending champion Golden Trojans net three goals in the third period to put away Falmouth.
