Wiscasset Middle High School will host the second annual Wiscasset-Boothbay Alumni Track and Field Meet at 4 p.m. Friday, April 12. The competition is open to current and former male and female track athletes from the two rival high schools.

Wolverine Coach Josiah Winchenbach and Seahawk Coach Nick Scott of Boothbay Region are once again organizing the meet. Last year’s inaugural event was a big success drawing over 50 competitors.

The running events include the 100, 200, 400, 800 and 1600-meter races. There are also the high and low hurdles, long jump, high jump and triple jump, javelin and shot put.

To participate, you’ll need to email your interest including your name, school (including the year you graduated) to Coach Winchenbach at symols0825@gailmail.com. Include the event(s) you’d like to participate in. Competition waiver forms will be available at the registration table the day of the meet.

Last year, the combined Wolverine and Seahawk alumni proved they’ve still got it, by winning six of the 17 events. The returnees included Matthew Brown, BRHS ’01. He out-distanced all competitors in the shot put, with a hurl of 50 feet.

WMHS alum Brandon Campbell bested a field of 11 runners winning the 100-meter dash in 12.1 seconds. Wolverine fans may remember Campbell having won two events at the 2009 MVC championship meet, the 200-meter and 300-meter hurdles.

The alumni swept the distance races; BRHS’s Chase Brown and Matt Burnham placed first and second in the 1,600. Brandon Goud, WMHS class of ’17, was third. Brown also won the 800-meter race in 2:16.6.

Other alumni participants included former Seahawk Draco Peaslee, who won the 200 in 22.9 seconds. Abel Bryer, another Seahawk alumnus, won the javelin with a toss of 142’ 9.” Grace Webber, WMHS class of ’17. won the 100-meter dash in 12.4 seconds and the 200-meter sprint in 28 seconds flat.

Boothbay will be looking to repeat as meet winners. In 2017, Boothbay outscored Wiscasset 45-37 in the girls competition and 98-75 in the boys.
