1. Lewiston: The Blue Devils dominated the KVAC Class A meet last winter and should be in contention again. Cameron Harris (200) and Fernando Kele (long jump, triple jump) are favorites to win both state and conference titles. Fellow senior Larson Stone is the reigning KVAC A 55-meter hurdles champ and is also the top returner in the high jump. Seniors Cooper Beaulieu (hurdles, 400), Will Diamond-Stanic (shot put) and Enzo Giampaolo (distance) and junior Basilio Mpaka (jumps) should also rack up points.

2. Leavitt: The Hornets are always a force to be reckoned with in KVAC B, and although they lost some talented athletes from last season, they should still be competitive. Sophomore Jackson Brooks is the favorite to win the conference high jump title and will also compete for points in the long jump and 800. He’ll also lead a potent 800 relay team that includes sophomore Landen Reny, another high and long jump competitor. Junior Angelo Toscano might be KVAC B’s top pole vaulter, and senior Trent Gordon will be a podium threat in the shot put.

3. Edward Little: The Red Eddies have some potent athletes, especially at the top. Junior Tommy LeBlanc might be the favorite to win the KVAC A pole vault title and could also compete for titles in the long and triple jumps. Senior Harper Borden finished fourth at the conference meet in the 800 and fifth in the mile. Coaches Rick Smith and Angie Jalbert also expect juniors Moise Katembo (sprints) and Logan Billings (shot put), and sophomores Ethan Longley (jumps), Dario Amado (sprints, jumps) and Will Ackley (jumps) to be major contributors.
