The NYA boys cross-country team ran a very impressive race at Cape Elizabeth today in their opening WMC meet of the season. They finished in third place, behind Falmouth and Cape, and beat Lake Region for the second straight week. The weather was mercifully cooler than it had been during training this week, and the course was a fast, flat 3.0 miles for the 79 runners who toed the starting line.
The leading runners for NYA, Cam Regan and Evan Kendall, made a statement early on by going out hard with the Falmouth and Cape varsity packs. They didn’t back down at all as the top runners from these storied programs really pushed the pace. On the second loop in the woods, Cam made his move to drop the number 3 runners from Cape and Falmouth, and he held on to keep his place. Cam finished the race in 5th place (17:05) and Evan was close behind in 8th (17:12). NYA’s third runner was Rudy Guliani, who closed hard at the end to finish 11th (17:42). Brian Trelegan battled the humidity as well as a group of Cape and Falmouth runners for 17th place (18:19). Grant McPherson was NYA’s fifth scorer (24th / 18:53). Rounding out the varsity seven today were Jake Susla (27th / 19:18) and Robert Field (29th / 19:24)
Other NYA runners included: Ian Moore (33rd / 19:51), Elliot Daniels (36th / 19:58), Nick Kolkin (39th / 20:20), Max Maurer (67th / 24:18), Alex Paige (68th / 24:19), Ethan (76th / 30:44), and Phong Ho (77th, 31:49).

This past Saturday, on a clear, warm morning, the NYA Boys Cross-Country team won the Lake Region Invitational over 5 other teams. After a summer of hard training, many of the boys were eager to see what they could do against live competition. The result: the top 6 NYA runners won medals and the team took home the winner’s plaque.
It was the first race of the season, a great tune-up for our WMC competition, which opens this week (9/3 at Cape Elizabeth). The other teams in attendance were Gray-New Gloucester, Windham, Lake Region, Fryeburg More »

The NYA Girls Cross Country team competed in the Lake Region Invitational XC Meet, the first race of the season, on Saturday at Lake Region High School. This was our only preseason competition before the start of our regular season this coming Friday (9/3) at Cape Elizabeth. There were 7 teams and 53 runners crossed the finish line. Competing in the meet was Windham, Lake Region, GNG, McAuley, Poland, NYA, and Fryeburg. Out of the 7 teams only 5 had enough to score as a team. The race distance was officially 2.8 miles yet the distance is a bit suspect…
NYA was one team that fell short of a scoring position (to place as a team in competition 5 athletes must cross the finish line). With only 5 girls able to run we were at risk of not fielding an entire team, however, at this point in the season, safety comes first and when Morgan Scully made the decision part way through the race to stop to protect her ankle it was the right thing to do.
The remaining 4 girls finished the race in stellar fashion showing they are ready to begin a season of steady, constant improvement mixed in with some confidence that I hope will take them far into the post-season. Our first finisher, Sarah Jordan (19:28), finished the race in 7th moving up about 15 spots from her position after the first mile. She was followed about 30 seconds later by Hillary Detert (19:54) who also moved up steadily over the course of the race. Maggie Meixell (20:33)was about 30 seconds after that in 17th place followed by Hadley Gibson (22:19) who struggled a little with heat and hydration yet still was able to finish the race in the top half at 27th with a very respectable early season time. Girls who finished in the top 25 recieved medals and the team, if we had 5 runners across the line, would likely have finished 2nd to Windham.
