The very quick outdoor track season is moving right along. With the Western Maine Conference championship meet scheduled for May 28, a little more than two weeks away, and the state meets slated for June 4, local runners, jumpers, throwers and their teams are looking to make the most of their opportunities.

All five Forecaster Country teams took part in meets Friday and turned heads.

Falmouth, after being subjugated to nomad status a year ago during construction work at the school, now has a new track and got to show it off for the first time when it hosted A.R. Gould, Freeport, Sacopee Valley and York.

The Yachtsmen boys, the two-time defending Class B champs, rolled to victory with 173 points, 62 better than the runner-up Wildcats. Freeport (19) came in fourth.

Falmouth won 14 of the 19 events. Brian Prescott was first in the 100 (12.2 seconds). Will Wegener took the 200 (23.6) and the 400 (50.6). Tim Follo was tops in the mile (4 minutes, 35.1 seconds) and two-mile (10:21). Reid Pryzant won the 110 hurdles (16 seconds). Matt Goldstein was first in the racewalk (7:33.3). The Yachtsmen also won the 1,600 relay (3:34.6). In the field events, Ryan Tartre took the high jump (6 feet). Justin Hovey had the top pole vault (10-9). Aaron Rogers won the long jump (19-4.5).

Freeport’s top finishers were its 400 (59.4), 1,600 (4:52.1) and 3,200 (11:52.0) relay teams, which all scored four points. Individually, Kelly Edwards finished fourth in the two-mile (13:05.2) and Abby Roney tied for fourth in the 100 hurdles (19.3) and was fifth in the 100 (14.4).
