Outlook: Numbers have exploded this season on a team that is always deep anyway. There is a lot of talent and a lot of jockeying for positioning among team members, and that will make for a very good, very cohesive unit when it comes to bigger meets. Dropping into Class B this season could be the team’s biggest challenge, with Fryeburg, Yarmouth and Maranacook among the tradition powers also in the class this season.

 

Coach’s comment: “With one of the largest teams in a long while, this team is fully motivated and focused on having big success at KVACs and at states.” — Coach Dustin Williamson
