GORHAM — Two of the most significant records in the history of the Maine Class A indoor track championships fell Monday at the University of Southern Maine.

Georgia Moon, a junior at Falmouth, broke one of the two oldest meet records with a tremendous run against strong competition in the girls mile.

Bossay Ditanduka, a senior at South Portland, erased the boys 200-meter record set by Scarborough’s Jarret Flaker in 2018.

Ditanduka, who was also second in the 55 dash, and hurdles champ Devin Berry paced the balanced Red Riots to the team title with 87 points.

Ditanduka finished the meet in style when he anchored the record-setting 800 team.

South Portland won the crown in 2024 but finished fourth last year. Lewiston was the runner-up for the second straight year with 65 points. Deering (53) placed third.

The Scarborough girls also won their second title in three years. Isabelle Harmon won the hurdles and pole vault, and Laurel Driscoll placed second in the 800 and mile, and third in the 2 mile to pace the Red Storm to 87 points. Hampden Academy was second with 62.

Moon targeted the mile throughout the indoor season. After a cross country season in which she placed second in Class A, Moon stayed away from the 2-mile to regain some of the speed she knew she possessed.

On Monday, the speed was there for Moon. Her time of 4 minutes, 58.35 seconds was enough to beat defending champion Driscoll (5:00.68) and break the 40-year-old meet record of 5:00.60 set by Wendy Delan of Bonny Eagle in 1986.

The 1986 shot put record set by Jane Woodhead of Lewiston now stands alone as the oldest girls mark.

With one lap to go on USM’s 200-meter track, Driscoll turned on the jets to cut Moon’s 15-meter lead to less than a stride. A year ago, Driscoll rallied from a similar deficit to pass Portland’s Samantha Moore for the win.

“She got on my shoulder at one point,” Moon said. “That switched something on and I was like, I can’t let all this work I’ve put in for this exact thing not pay off.”

Ditanduka nipped Falmouth’s Ali Carter in the final strides. Both were under the old record of 22.32 seconds, with Ditanduka finishing in 22.14 and Carter in 22.21.

“I’m a senior, right,” Ditanduka said. “I feel like I should do everything to make my team win, so that’s what I did, and I won the 200.”

Flaker set records at a variety of sprint distances and ushered in a new level of speed in Maine high school track. While most of his records and all-time bests were bettered in recent seasons, notably by Marshwood’s Andre Clark in 2024 and 2025, the indoor 200 mark had stood.

“Any record is fantatic,” said South Portland coach Dave Kahill. “Flaker set a standard at many distances. And even the guys from last year hadn’t broken the 200.”

South Portland’s 800 relay team — Ambrosio Mputu, Chris Salamone, Michael Lawlor and Ditanduka — finished in 1:31.87, lowering the record of 1:32.89 set by Falmouth in 2016.

“I just have a strong belief in our team that we can prevail,” Salamone said.

Or, as Mputo put it, “That’s just the SoPo way. That’s HighPo.”

The meet featured several highlight performances.

Marshwood junior Anna Jennings was another double winner, taking the long jump and setting a personal-best of 7.22 seconds in the 55 dash to edge Macey Weisberg of Cheverus. In the 200, the roles were reversed, with Weisberg winning and Jennings placing second.

Marshwood’s Henri Rivard backed up his win in the mile in a competitive race with Deering’s Ellis Wood by also taking the 800. As he had done in the mile, Rivard took the lead on the final lap of the 800, tracking down Cony’s Alfie Cognata to win in 1:55.5. Cognata finished in 1:56.66 and Lawlor, who was also on South Portland’s second-place 3,200 relay team, was third in 1:58.78.

“I’ve been running the 400 this year to get my mind and body ready for those fast closes,” Rivard said. 

Wood came back to win the 2-mile by the slimmest of margins. He held off Lewiston’s Enzo Giampaolo by one-hundredth of a second, with Wood finishing in 9:50.48.

“Oh my gosh. I didn’t know he was so close behind me,” said Wood, who had run a PR in the mile. “I was sprinting.”

Edward Little junior Thomas LeBlanc won the pole vault at 15-6 and also was second in the 55 hurdles. LeBlanc started the season with a personal best of 14-1 in the pole vault. He dueled with Mt. Ararat’s Bryce Holden, who had beaten LeBlanc at the KVAC meet.

“I feel like I had the adrenaline going and I got a new pole. That helped,” LeBlanc said.
