As Kate Hall stretched prior to the first heat of the 100 meters, she glanced around the athletic complex and smiled.

“Good luck, Kate!” a number of fans said as they passed the talented junior.

As usual, Kate politely acknowledged the well-wishers, but kept her focus.

She certainly was all business.

Kate was named the Western Maine Conference Championships’ Most Outstanding Athlete in the Field Events Saturday afternoon in Naples after she set two new conference records and won four titles.

Kate set new marks in the long jump (19-feet 3.75-inches) and triple jump (36-feet 6.5-inches, which is also a school record, breaking the previous mark of Missy Watkins at 35-feet 9-inches set in 1985).

Kate also won the 100 meters and 200 meters.

Other notable performances included:

Audrey Blais’ time of 2:31.57 in the 800 meters was a personal record and automatically qualified her for States in that event. Her 4x400m relay split of 65.2 seconds was also a PR.

Addie Blais set PRs in both the 1600m and 800m.

Micheala Tripp (shot put) and Alizah Thayer (4x400m split) also set PRs on Saturday.

Dakota Stover set two PRs in the events that he placed in (high jump and long jump).

Kolin Wyman set two PRs in the events that he participated in (long jump and 4x400m relay).

Marcus Devoe qualified for the State Meet with his high jump of 5-feet 6-inches.

The following athletes will participate in the state championships on Saturday in Brewer:

Kate Hall (100m, 200m, LJ, TJ)

Audrey Blais (1600m and 800m)

Dakota Stover (high jump)

Marcus Devoe (high jump and long jump)

Possibly the girls’ 4x400m relay.

FRYEBURG ACADEMY

It was a day which Coach Kevin McDonald had hoped to see for his hardworking Raider track athletes.

“We saw school records, personal bests and great efforts by all the team members,” he said. “Eighteen athletes are moving on to the State Meet and the coaching staff could not be prouder of this.”

On the girls’ side, the Raiders had several fine performances, but two stick out as “a day to remember.”

Elizabeth Grzyb won the javelin with a throw of 101-feet 10-inches.

“Anyone that follows high school track and field knows that 100 feet is big in girls’ javelin and Elizabeth has been hitting 100 on a regular basis,” Coach McDonald said. “She is the defending state champion and we look for her to keep her title. Elizabeth is one of our captains and this is a role that goes far beyond athletic achievement. Elizabeth has made us all very proud this year.”

Anna Lastra demolished the FA school record in the mile run. Anna finished second in the race and ran 5:26.39 for a new school record.

“Only a sophomore, this is very impressive to say the least. Anna is a dedicated athlete that does every workout, is at practice every day, and maintains a positive attitude no matter what. Hence, huge results,” her coach said. “Anna’s future is very bright and the sky in the limit for this young athlete. We are very fortunate to have Anna as she is a true student-athlete.”

On the boys’ side, the Raiders claimed a conference title in the shot put.

“Andrew Lyman has been improving every week. Why? Because Andrew is doing the work,” Coach McDonald said. “Coach Minnich is doing a fantastic job and Andrew has reaped the benefits of the hard work by becoming the conference champion. The shot put landing area ends around 45 feet and I asked Andrew if he could put it in the grass. Minutes later, the crowd roared as the shot came down in the grass, 47-feet 1-inch. You could not ask for a better student-athlete then Andrew. A captain, positive leader and a true gentleman. We will miss this young man.”

The Raiders now prepare for the State Meet.

“We are excited as we bring a lot of talent up to Brewer for next Saturday’s meet,” Coach McDonald added.
