BATH — Kate Hall did Saturday what she’s been doing her entire high school track career.

The Lake Region senior dominated the Class B state track meet by winning three state titles while breaking two state records.

“Back when I was first starting, when I was a freshman, one of my goals was that I wanted to go to every state meet and not lose,” Hall said. “I wanted to win all my individual events. I accomplished that today and was really happy with how it went.”

Hall won the long jump, the 100 and the 200. She set new state records in the long jump and the 100. She fell shy of the state mark in the 200, but she already holds that record. Hall finished her high school track career with 26 state titles, between indoor and outdoor.

“The goals coming into today was to break my state records from the previous years,” Hall said. “Those were definitely my main goals.”

Waterville won the girls’ meet with 118.25 points followed by York with 87 and Greely with 52. Belfast and Lake Region rounded out the top five with 47 and 37 points respectively. Poland was the top local team in 13th with 16.5 points. Gray-New Gloucester had 13.5 for 15th while Leavitt was 16th with 13.

In the boys’ meet, York took top honors with 96 points followed by Belfast with 85. Waterville was third with 58 with Old Town at 57 and Mount Desert Island with 56.5. Leavitt was the top local squad in seventh with 32. Gray-New Gloucester finished with 19 for 11th while Poland was 13th with 16.

Hall started her day with a record time of 11.72 in the prelim of the 100. Then she beat that with an 11.69 in the final, beating York’s Samantha Robinson, who finished in 12.97.

“I wanted to put a season-best in the 100 because all year there was a huge wind in my face during every single run,” Hall said. “This was the first meet where it wasn’t in my face. I accomplished that goal and I set my state record in that.”

Then she added a win in the long jump. She jumped a distance of 20-05.75, beating her closest opponent, Katherine Bullock or York, by more than three feet.

“I also wanted to set a season-best in the long jump,” Hall said. “I was an inch off from that, but that’s OK. I had some really good jumps, and I also set the state record in that. So I was really happy.”

She finished the day in the 200. She won that event in 24.82. She fell shy of her state mark of 24.36 set last year. She beat Belfast’s Cassidy Hill by more than two seconds.

“I ran a super fast time last year, 24.36, at the meet,” Hall said. “I knew it was going to be hard to break that. So I just wanted to get a season-best time for that, and I did. I ran a 24.82. So I’m happy with that.”

Though she finishes an outstanding high school career, she’s looking forward to future challenges.

“It’s bittersweet,” Hall said of her final high school meet. “I’m definitely going to miss coming to the state meet every year, but then again, I’m moving on to bigger and better things. I’m really excited for next year to see what the future holds.”

Leavitt had a pair of wins. Junior Billy Bedard won the long jump with a distance of 21-00.25. Morse’s Max Lareau was second with a leap of 20-5.50. Bedard entered the meet seeded second with a distance of 21-03.50. Old Town’s Mitchell Cole was the top seed at 21-09.50 but he finished third with a leap of 20-03.00.

Ashley Pratt won the pole vault with a height of 10-00. She entered the meet seeded second at 9-06. Waterville’s Sarah Shoulta was the top seed at 10-00.

“Last week I got 9-6,” Pratt said. “So I was hoping to get at least that. I knew the girl that won (KVAC’s) last week got 10-00. So I was hoping for at least 10.”

The junior finished fifth last year in the state meet but felt she had a better technique this year. She knew she was in contention for the top spot. Shoulta finished second with a 9-06 while Belfast’s Kylie Nelson was third at 9-06.

“I knew there was going to be three girls that could win it,” Pratt said. “I knew it was going to depend on who had the better day.”

Leavitt nearly got another win from senior Harrison Knowlton in the 3200. He finished second to Waterville’s Chris Cote. The winning time was 9:51.31, and Knowlton finished in 9:52.17.

“I took the lead right after the first lap, but Chris was always right behind me for the entire race,” Knowlton said. “On the last lap, he started to push it. I didn’t let him get too far ahead of me, but I couldn’t outkick him.”

Knowlton lost a close one to Cote last week in the KVAC’s so came into Saturday’s meet thinking he had a shot.

“I was really close to him,” Knowlton said. “So I really wanted to PR again today. I wasn’t too happy with the time. I’d like to think I could have beaten him. But when he’s on the track, he’s a tough competitor. He’s always a threat.”

It was still an accomplishment for Knowlton, who was in the event last year but was disqualified.

“This is my first medal because I got DQ’d last year,” Knowlton said. “So it’s really nice senior year to getting DQ’d and getting a medal.”
