LEWISTON – Records fell, streaks continued, upsets occurred, and new champions were crowned at the State Class B indoor track and field championship meet Monday.

First, the records: Old Town sophomore Cassie Hintz smashed Laura Duffy’s 18-year-old mark in the two-mile run by better than five seconds with a time of 10 minutes and 48.49 seconds – a mark that would have qualified her to run in the boys New England championship meet as well.

“I didn’t want to get my hopes up, but I really wanted to go for it,” Hintz said. “I was starting to get tired, but I really wanted that record. This is at the top of all my wins.”

Two other records fell as well – both to the feet of Freeport’s Logan Crane, who obliterated Kim Doucette’s 14-year-old record of 7.37 seconds with a time of 7.13 in the 55-meter dash and bettered Katie Toye’s time of 26.40 set in 1998 with a 25.94 clocking in the 200.

In team competition, the Greely girls of Cumberland Center snatched their fourth straight state B crown in very comfortable fashion by scoring 811/4 points to outdistance runnerup Gorham which scored 541/4 points. Old Town finished tied for third with Catherine McAuley of Portland as each team scored 38.

On the boys side, Gorham blew by the rest of the field to finish with 70 points and win its first state indoor title since 1999. Runnerup Greely scored 37, Lawrence of Fairfield totaled 34, and Old Town was fourth with 32.

In the girls meet, Hintz exhibited machine-like precision in the two-mile.

“The goal was 41-second laps, and she didn’t go over that until her fifth lap,” said Indians coach Rod White. “At the mile-and-a-half point, I knew she’d break the record.”

Hintz also ran the anchor leg on Old Town’s winning 4-by-800 relay team.

The Indians were seeded fifth, but stunned the rest of the field as Sharon Fuller, Chelsea Nye, Kendra Gould and Hintz all turned in personal-best times.

“Sharon got us an early lead and then Chelsea ran her best time. It was kind of locked up after that,” Hintz said.

It was the first time this season the foursome had run together.

“Cassie hadn’t run it before this season and it was my first time running it since the beginning of the season,” said Fuller, who also finished second in the 800. “We had a big PR [personal record] performance in that race. I’m really proud of that.”

Rachel Bergman of Orono was another individual standout in the girls meet. The Red Riots’ sophomore finished second in both the 400 and the pole vault. She was edged out of first in the 400 in the last 10 meters.

“I didn’t have anybody to set the pace, so it was tough to pick it up and hold her off at the end,” Bergman said. “My usual strategy is to follow the frontrunner and outkick her at the end.”

Another individual of note was Lily Krichels of John Bapst in Bangor who was second in the long jump. Hampden Academy’s 4-by-800 relay team was second and John Bapst was second in the 4-by-200.

In the boys meet, first-place finishes by Eastern Maine athletes were hard to come by, but Lawrence’s Sean Leary managed to snag a pair. He won the 55 dash with a time of 6.67 seconds and the 200 in 23.34 seconds.

Hermon senior Adam Haggerty was tops in the pole vault as he was the only one to clear 13 feet. He came close in one of his three attempts at 13-6, but had to settle for his previous personal-best height.

“It feels great. The whole day I was stepping under and I couldn’t bend the pole as much as I wanted to,” said Haggerty, who plans to continue competing at the University of Southern Maine. “I couldn’t correct it all day, so I’m really happy to equal my best.”

Hampden’s Brad Simms was second in the vault at 12-6 and reached it in fewer vaults than third-place finisher Brett Andrews of Belfast.

Andrews’ teammate, junior Levi Miller, blew away his competition in the two-mile. His time of 9:45.96 was 21 seconds better than his closest competitor. Still, he was disappointed not to come close to his PR time of 9:40.24.

“I pretty much knew what I was gonna be up against,” said Miller. “I really got a lot of separation in that first half mile and after that, it was kind of hard to keep up a real even pace when you have nobody else there. My time wasn’t as great as I thought it was going to be, but I’m happy to win this.”

Other individual standouts include Sumner of East Sullivan’s Greg Young, who was second in triple jump; Winslow’s Colin Hay, who was second in long jump; and Old Town’s John Garrity, who took second in the 200.

Old Town’s 4-by-200 team of Garrity, Dustin Honey, Tim Niles and Andrew Reinzo finished the meet with a second-place finish.

It was Reinzo’s first meet action in more than a week after a sledding accident.

“We’d been sledding awhile and it got to be nighttime and we were going down the hill one last time,” he said. “We couldn’t see anything and we went off the trail and hit a tree. I spun around and jarred my back.

“I was happy I could actually run, but I was hoping I’d do better,” said Reinzo, who was also fifth in the 400. “I cracked a rib or two and had a lot of internal swelling. It felt fine before the race, but after the first lap it started getting real sore.”
