The meet was held at the Damariscotta River Association trail and hosted by the Great Salt Bay School.

Runners competed on the 2.3-mile course under sunny skies. The boys meet saw 102 runners compete while 89 girls competed.

Receiving an individual trophy for the BRES boys was Rowan Kristan for his third place finish overall.

Receiving individual trophies for the BRES girls were Haley Abbott, who finished second overall, and Glory Blethen, who placed third overall.

Winning the boys meet was Lincolnville's Hayden Thibeault in a time of 14:12.90. Second was Great Salt Bay's Nolan Anderson, 14:28.88

Winning the girls meet was Miranda Dunton of Lincolnville with a time of 15:36.12.

"I am very proud of both these teams," said BRES coach Hildy Johnson. "The boys were coming off of some tough practices, but they were resilient, tough and ran hard. The girls were undefeated for the season and worked hard to keep it that way. The girls knew it was going to be a tough meet as they had only outrun Lincolnville by two points at our first meet of the season. Teams are never the same by the end of the season. Everyone works hard to decrease times and this meet showed just how tough it can be. It was incredibly close. We all had a fun season. Our sixth and seventh graders are already looking forward to and talking about next year. Those moving to the high school next year will be great additions to what is already a winning group of runners."
