Class A State Championships: 5th place

Personal Bests:

3200m: 9:12
5K: 15:50

2025 Outlook:
Ellis Wood returns as the top-ranked runner in Class A after a strong junior campaign. He is the top returner from FOC and took the runner-up spot at last year's South Regional. The only blemish on his record was a slightly sub-par State meet performance last fall. He shook that off well and ran to state titles on the track this winter and spring, and will look to add to his trophy collection this fall.  

#2: Alex Gilbert – Freeport High School (Grade 12)

Class B #1
Class B South #1
WMC #1

2024 Results:
Class B South Regional: 3rd place

1600m: 4:23
3200m: 9:45
5K: 15:51

2025 Outlook:
Gilbert enters his senior year as the clear favorite in Class B. His impressive range makes him dangerous in any race. After finishing in the bronze position as a junior, Gilbert has the experience and speed to claim the individual title. He is among the elite in Maine regardless of class.

#3: Enzo Giampaolo – Lewiston High School (Grade 12)

Class A #2
Class A North #1
KVAC #1

2024 Results:
Festival of Champions: 8th place

Personal Bests:
800m: 2:02
1600m: 4:29
3200m: 9:55
5K: 15:46

2025 Outlook:
Giampaolo had a breakthrough race at the Southern Maine Classic last year, smashing the 16:00 barrier and jumping off the page as an individual favorite.  He maintained that position throughout the year, winning the Class A North Regional and nearly winning the State title.  Enzo has shown he has the ability to compete with anyone in the state. 

#4: Atticus Merriam – Scarborough High School (Grade 11)

Class A #3
Class A South #2
SMAA #2

2024 Results:
Festival of Champions: 6th place

Personal Bests:
800m: 1:59
1600m: 4:21
3200m: 9:35
5K: 16:07

2025 Outlook:
Merriam has been one of the top runners in the state since his freshman year, and this year he might be the top runner. When he is at his best, Atticus is really hard to beat, particularly when it comes to a kick. Scarborough won the team title last year, and they just may have the individual champ this year.

#5: Henri Rivard – Marshwood High School (Grade 12)

Class A #4
Class A South #3
SMAA #3

2024 Results:
Festival of Champions: 5th place
Class A South Regional: 3rd place
Class A State Championships: 6th place

Personal Bests:
800m: 1:56
1600m: 4:28
3200m: 9:35
5K: 15:59

2025 Outlook:
Rivard is coming off of an 800m state title. With strong range across all distances, the Marshwood senior will be looking to improve on his 6th place state finish and compete for the top spot. His 5th place finish at Festival of Champions shows he can compete at the highest level. 

#6: Asher Valentine – Hampden Academy (Grade 12)

Class A #5
Class A North #2
KVAC #2

2024 Results:
Festival of Champions: 7th place
Class A North Regional: 2nd place
Class A State Championships: 7th place

Personal Bests:
1600m: 4:49
3200m: 10:14
5K: 16:08

2025 Outlook:
Valentine had an incredible junior season, finishing consistently high all year long.  He was regional runner-up and will hope to win outright this year.  He will be extra motivated as Hampden will be looking to win the team title as well. 

#7: Calvin Vincent – Edward Little High School (Grade 12)

Class A #6
Class A North #3
KVAC #3

2024 Results:
Festival of Champions: 32nd place
Class A North Regional: 5th place
Class A State Championships: 8th place

Personal Bests:
5K: 16:26

2025 Outlook:
Vincent skyrocked through our rankings last fall, showing steady improvement throughout the season.  As he only runs cross country, it's unclear how he has developed since last fall, but if he continues to improve, he could be a big darkhorse threat for the title.   

#8: Levi Riggs – Morse High School (Grade 12)

Class B #2
Class B South #2
KVAC #4

2024 Results:
Festival of Champions: 26th place
Class B South Regional: 5th place
Class B State Championships: 5th place

Personal Bests:
800m: 1:56
1600m: 4:38
5K: 16:43

2025 Outlook:
Riggs's range makes him a versatile threat who could surprise some of the higher-ranked runners. He nearly won the Class B 800m title this spring and with that experience will bring hunger and poise.  His top 5 finish in Class B as a junior puts him in position to challenge for the top spot in his senior campaign.

#9: Hayden Atkinson – York High School (Grade 12)

Class B #3
Class B South #3
WMC #2

2024 Results:
Class B South Regional: 6th place
Class B State Championships: 7th place

Personal Bests:
800m: 2:04
1600m: 4:47
5K: 16:56

2025 Outlook:
Atkinson will be stepping into the limelight this year with Aidan Ring graduating. Hayden quietly had a strong junior campaign, notching all-regional and all-state honors a year ago.  The York senior has the potential to move up in the Class B rankings with another year of training and could challenge for a win.

#10: Tait Harvey – Greely High School (Grade 12)

Class B #4
Class B South #4
WMC #3

2024 Results:
Festival of Champions: 36th place
Class B South Regional: 11th place
Class B State Championships: 8th place

Personal Bests:
800m: 2:03
1600m: 4:42
5K: 16:50

2025 Outlook:
Tait ran his best when it mattered most last year, moving from 11th at regionals to 8th at states. Harvey has been a factor at the state level since his freshman year, and this year he will be hoping to take home the win.  

#11: Sam Tooley – Camden Hills (Grade 12)

Class A #7
Class A North #4
KVAC #5

2024 Results:
Festival of Champions: 64th place
Class A North Regional: 12th place
Class A State Championships: 22nd place

Personal Bests:
3200m: 10:11
5K: 17:03

2025 Outlook:
Tooley had a great season last year and was one of the key factors to Camden Hills' 4th place finish. He now appears to be their top runner and could be one of the top runners in the whole state.  He is coming off of impressive performances over both the Mile and 10K at Beach to Beacon.  

#12: Owen Blades – Portland High School (Grade 12)

Class A #8
Class A South #4
SMAA #4

2024 Results:
Festival of Champions: 22nd place
Class A South Regional: 12th place
Class A State Championships: 28th place

Personal Bests:
800m: 2:01
1600m: 4:39
3200m: 10:38
5K: 16:39

2025 Outlook:
Blades could be on the verge of a breakout.  Last year, his best race by far was at the Festival of Champions, where he ran a big PR and placed ahead of many top runners.  If he can maintain that level of performance all year, he will be in the mix for on of the top few spots in the state. 

#13: William Morris – Dirigo High School (Grade 11)

Class C #1
Class C South #1
MVC #1

2024 Results:
Festival of Champions: 56th place
Class C South Regional: 2nd place
Class C State Championships: 4th place

Personal Bests:
800m: 1:59
1600m: 4:33
3200m: 10:17
5K: 17:17

2025 Outlook:
Morris is our tentative leader in Class C with impressive speed across all distances. His sub-2:00 800m and sub-4:35 1600m times show exceptional range and an ability to kick at the end of races. After finishing 4th at states as just a sophomore, the Dirigo junior should make significant noise this year.

#14: Jack Scott – Hampden Academy (Grade 11)

Class A #9
Class A North #5
KVAC #6

2024 Results:
Festival of Champions: 46th place
Class A North Regional: 17th place
Class A State Championships: 23rd place

Personal Bests:
1600m: 4:45
3200m: 10:15
5K: 17:09

2025 Outlook:
Scott's best meet last year just might have been the State Championship.   Now that he has shown his ability to run under pressure as an underclassman, Jack could be a major factor during his junior season.  

#15: Will Meyer – Camden Hills (Grade 11)

Class A #10
Class A North #6
KVAC #7

2024 Results:
Festival of Champions: 42nd place
Class A North Regional: 9th place
Class A State Championships: 25th place

Personal Bests:
5K: 16:47

2025 Outlook:
Meyer has the top freshman in the state in 2023, and he followed that up with a great sophomore year.  His strong placement at FOC and his sub 17:00 clocking at the regional both show that he could emerge as a significant factor in Class A with another year of training and experience.

#16: Alfie Coghata – Winthrop High School (Grade 11)

Class C #2
Class C South #2
MVC #2

2024 Results:
Festival of Champions: 84th place
Class C South Regional: 3rd place
Class C State Championships: 5th place

Personal Bests:
800m: 1:58
1600m: 4:36
3200m: 10:25
5K: 17:38

2025 Outlook:
Coghata brings excellent speed to Class C with his 1:58 800m personal best. His 5th place finish at states as a sophomore shows great potential for improvement. The Winthrop junior has the speed and range to challenge for the Class C title and should be a factor at all of the big meets this year.

#17: Frederick Brill – Falmouth High School (Grade 12)

Class A #11
Class A South #5
SMAA #5

2024 Results:
Festival of Champions: 95th place
Class A South Regional: 15th place
Class A State Championships: 30th place

Personal Bests:
800m: 2:11
1600m: 4:42
3200m: 10:03
5K: 17:39

2025 Outlook:
Brill had a stellar indoor track season this winter, indicating big things to come this fall.  Last year, he was inexperienced, but this year he enters the season with the confidence of someone who has competed at high levels at the big meets.  Will that result in improvements?  we think the answer is yes.

#18: Gunnar Weil – Hampden Academy (Grade 12)

Class A #12
Class A North #7
KVAC #8

2024 Results:
Festival of Champions: 61st place
Class A North Regional: 11th place
Class A State Championships: 27th place

Personal Bests:
5K: 17:00

2025 Outlook:
This cross country specialist will be a key piece in the Broncos pursuit of another state title.  Weil has been in the mix since he was a freshman, and this experience will serve him well as he seeks out a top 10 finish in Class A.  

#19: Tewolde Stewart – Caribou High School (Grade 11)

Class B #5
Class B North #1
PVC #1

2024 Results:
Festival of Champions: 59th place
Class B North Regional: 3rd place
Class B State Championships: 15th place

Personal Bests:
3200m: 10:32
5K: 17:17

2025 Outlook:
Stewart is one of three Caribou returners that could all be the best on the team.  For now, he leads the way and could be the best runner in Class B North.  

#20: Samuel Bergmark – Bangor High School (Grade 11)

Class A #13
Class A North #8
KVAC #9

2024 Results:
Festival of Champions: 48th place

Class A State Championships: 32nd place

Personal Bests:
1600m: 4:36
3200m: 10:16
5K: 16:53

2025 Outlook:
Bergmark had a very strong sophomore campaign, breaking 17 minutes and nearly cracking the top 30 at the State Championships.  Last year, he could finish within the top 10 if things break his way.

#21: Liam Nudd – Cape Elizabeth High School (Grade 12)

Class B #6
Class B South #5
WMC #4

2024 Results:
Festival of Champions: 40th place

Class B State Championships: 16th place

Personal Bests:
800m: 2:08
1600m: 4:50
3200m: 10:30
5K: 17:01

2025 Outlook:
Nudd is a well rounded runner who has decent range across all distances. He will be Cape Elizabeth's top runner this year and will hope to lead them to a strong team finish.   

#22: Ian Britt – Mt. Ararat High School (Grade 12)

Class A #14
Class A North #9
KVAC #10

2024 Results:
Festival of Champions: 38th place
Class A North Regional: 27th place
Class A State Championships: 57th place

Personal Bests:
800m: 2:10
1600m: 4:37
3200m: 10:07
5K: 17:00

2025 Outlook:
Britt's strong performance at Festival of Champions suggests he has more potential than his state meet finish indicates. This spring, he broke 4:40 over 1600m which showed his FOC result was no fluke. The Mt. Ararat senior will look to put together a consistent season and improve significantly on his state placement.

#23: Liam Alexander – Portland High School (Grade 12)

Class A #15
Class A South #6
SMAA #6

2024 Results:
Festival of Champions: 49th place
Class A South Regional: 26th place
Class A State Championships: 48th place

Personal Bests:
800m: 2:00
1600m: 4:38
3200m: 10:28
5K: 17:09

2025 Outlook:
Alexander has excellent range with his sub-2:00 800m speed and solid distance times. He had a great run at the Festival of Champions last year, but the postseason was a bit of a letdown.  Expect him to move up significantly in the Class A rankings with a strong final season.

#24: Peter Rank – Deering High School (Grade 12)

Class A #16
Class A South #7
SMAA #7

2024 Results:
Festival of Champions: 70th place
Class A South Regional: 20th place
Class A State Championships: 33rd place

Personal Bests:
800m: 2:12
1600m: 5:08
3200m: 10:03
5K: 17:25

2025 Outlook: 

Rank is coming off of a Beach to Beacon which saw him average faster than his 5K PR pace for a 10K.  Between that and his strong 3200m result from track, expect him much further up in the results this year. 

#25: Malachi Witmer – Houlton/GHCA (Grade 11)

Class C #3
Class C North #1
PVC #2

2024 Results:
Festival of Champions: 116th place

Class C State Championships: 8th place

Personal Bests:
1600m: 4:44
3200m: 10:53
5K: 17:16

2025 Outlook:
Witmer enters the season as the favorite in Northern Maine's Class C division.  He showed good improvement from FOC to states as a sophomore. With Class C being wide open this year on the individual side, he has a shot to win the state title.
