Last week it was the Wolverines girls who won their track meet, Tuesday it was the Wolverine boys. It’s been a long time and it sounds cliché but track really is back at Wiscasset Middle High School.

Coach Josiah Winchenbach saw his charges pile up 103.5 points during the rain-soaked 18-event meet, hosted by WMHS. The Winthrop High School Ramblers, a longtime powerhouse in track and field, finished second, compiling 93.5 points while Dirigo and Carrabec were far behind with 32 and 26 points, respectively.

Brandon Goud won two events, the 3200-meter race with a time of 10.45.99 and high jump by clearing a height of 5 feet, 4 inches. Wiscasset swept high jump for the first time in years. Cedrick Loyola placed second, clearing 5-2 and Josh Gabriele third, clearing 5-0. Later, Loyola won the long jump with a distance of 17-11.5. Caleb Gabriele won the 800 in 2:35.44. Winthrop’s Michael Morales was second at 2:40.04.

Matt Chapman was another two-event Wolverine champion, finishing first in both the 110 and 300 hurdles with times of 18.65 and 44.28. Quinn Ranta ran side-by-side against Chapman in the 110 hurdles and crossed the finish line second, in 21.85. Max Sampson and Sam Strozier finished first and second in the triple jump, with Sampson leaping 38-10, Strozier 37-04.

Sampson and Loyola placed second and fourth in the 100-meter dash with times of 12.88 and 13.26. Winthrop’s Nate Scott was the fastest runner, crossing the finish line in 12:38. Loyola tied for fourth place with Winthrop’s Bailey Baxter and hence the half-point reflected in the final team scoring.

Ethan James won the javelin throw with a distance of 118-8, besting Evan Gorr of Carrabec, whose throw measured 112-1. Haiden Dunning picked up a point with a fifth place finish in the javelin with a toss of 98-0. James placed second in the shot put with a hurl of 33-8 and his teammate Conlon Ranta placed third, 33-1. Dirigo’s Dalton Berry had the winning distance of 43-1.

WMHS won both the 4x400 relay and 4x800 with winning times of 3:59.96 and 9:39.14.
