For at least a few moments, the cold, windy weather that has held the region hostage actually benefited athletes.

With a strong tailwind, the javelin-throwing athletes from Wiscasset, Boothbay, Oak Hill, Richmond and Lisbon high schools had a little help.

But, other than the extra push from the wind, Wiscasset High School’s first track and field meet of the year was a cold and windy affair.

Wiscasset's girls team finished fourth, behind Lisbon, which finished first, Boothbay (second) and Richmond.

The boys squad was fifth, behind first-place Lisbon, Boothbay, third-place Oak Hill and fourth-place Richmond.

In the 100-meter dash it was Boothbay's Sara Durgan (14.27) in first, with Wiscasset senior Kristen Cavanaugh in fifth place with a time of 15.11 seconds. Wiscasset rounded-out the top 10, as junior Amanda Johnson finished ninth in 16.67 seconds, and sophomore Kendra Chancellor was 10th in 16.91 seconds.

Wiscasset junior Sam Storer finished sixth in the boys 100-meter dash with a time of 12.93 seconds. Freshman Josh Kramley was 14th, with a time of 14.12 seconds.
