The Boothbay-Wiscasset indoor track team finished its season Feb. 19 at the Class B state championships. Nine athletes competed in the event at Bates College in Lewiston. 

Karen Higgins earned a spot on the podium with a seventh place finish in the girls’ two-mile run, which she completed in 12:02.37.  

“Placing at states is a major accomplishment and secures a firm exclamation point on a terrific season,” said coach Nick Scott. He added, Higgins set new school records in both the one-mile and two-mile events over the season.  

Scott also congratulated the girls 4x200 meter relay team. He said it set a new school record in its first attempt at the event this season. The team, Sophia Mansfield, Bailey Lewis, Abbie Clark and Rose Campbell, took 22nd place in 2:05.97.  

The boys also ran the 4x200m relay for the first time this season, earning 15th place in 1:47.93. Scott said the performance is the fourth best in the school’s history. The runners included Austin Trask, Alton King, AJ Crocker and Aidric Canada.
