The Seahawks/Wolverines combination cross-country team kicked off the Boothbay Region High School homecoming week with its only home meet Sept. 27.
The meet was also the second straight year the Seahawks have hosted the Mountain Valley Conference Midseason event and was full of broken personal records and significant improvement for Seahawks and Wolverines since last year’s event.
Teams to attend were Monmouth Academy and Carrabec, Dirigo, Hall-Dale, Lisbon, Madison Memorial, Mount Abram Regional, Oak Hill, Richmond, Spruce Mountain, Telstar Regional, and Winthrop high schools.
The boys team won its meet outscoring Lisbon by 17 points. The girls team ran in the middle of the pack and was outscored by formidable opponents Monmouth Academy and Winthrop High School.
Will Perkins and Glory Blethen led their respective races, Perkins by nearly a minute in 17:10 and Blethen by just under half a minute in 21:37. Both were among a handful of athletes to best last year’s scores by significant amounts. Lily Yeaton improved her time on the Seahawk course by 3:10; Nathan Chatterton, -3:08; Delly Clarkson, -3:07; Lucas Hardwick, -2:55; Perkins, -1:53, Fox Elder, -1:22; Blethen, -0:37; and Graham Harris, -0:37.
The meet also brought many broken personal records. Reese Hesseltine worked her record down by 2:05 since the past two meets. Ryan Russell bested his lifetime record by 26 seconds, Hardwick by 16 seconds and Gagnon by 19 seconds.
