Cape Elizabeth’s Lila Gaudrault races to victory in the Class B girls’ state meet.

Three local teams took part in the state cross country championships Saturday in Belfast and one came home with a title, as did an individual.

With bad weather in the forecast, the meet was moved up to an earlier start and for the most part, runners competed in tolerable conditions.

Class A

Scarborough’s boys’ team made it nine championships in 15 seasons by tallying 69 points, which were 20 better than runner-up Bangor.

The Red Storm were led by Tristram Coffin, who was fourth individually, completing the five-kilometer course in 16 minutes, 6.22 seconds. Also scoring were Connor Coffin (11th, 16:34.61), Zachary Barry (15th, 16:44.85), Eric LoSacco (17th, 16:47.13) and Harrison Osborne (22nd, 16:54.18).

“Our pack had to move up, just as they have in the last half of the season,” said Scarborough coach Jim Harmon.

South Portland didn’t qualify as a team, but Cliff Robbins-Sennewald had the 58th-best individual time (17:40.75).

In the Class A girls’ meet, Bonny Eagle won the crown with 63 points. Scarborough didn’t qualify, but freshman Kayla Werner was 17th individually (19:47.89).

South Portland did not qualify.

Class B

The Class B girls’ title was won by Ellsworth with 87 points. Cape Elizabeth (125) came in fifth and produced the individual champion, Lila Gaudrault, who had a time of 18:42.82. Also scoring were Camilla Grosso (fourth, 20:21.03), Kelsey Kennedy (17th, 20:55.46), Zoe Evans (40th, 21:54.42) and Mary Cate Hayes (63rd, 23:05.08).

In the Class B boys’ race, Cape Elizabeth had 108 points to finish fourth (York was first with 84 points). The Capers were led by Jack Bassett, who was third in 16:30.03. Also scoring were Peter DiNinno (10th, 17:14.61), Aidan Willitts (20th, 17:31.06), Ricky Perruzzi (22nd, 17:34.61) and Vaughan Lindenau (53rd, 18:30.64).
