Scarborough High School hosted the Southern Maine Activities Association outdoor track and field championship meet Saturday and the Red Storm girls, to no one’s surprise, had no peer.

Scarborough came in first with 93 points, 22 clear of runner-up Gorham.

Nicole Kirk led the way with wins in the 100 (12.63 seconds) and 200 (25.28). Emily Tolman captured the 400 (58.16). Catherine Bailey was first in the pole vault (10 feet). The Red Storm also took the 400 relay (51.54).

Haela Booth-Howe was runner-up in the javelin (106-2) and the 1,600 relay team (4 minutes, 15.03 seconds) was also second.

Other scorers included Tolman (third in the 200, 26.26; and third in the long jump, 15-10), Sarah Rinaldi (third in the high jump, 4-10), Natalie Foster (fourth in the high jump, 4-10), Courtney Alofs (fifth in the discus, 92-10), Carly Rogers (fifth in the discus, 84 feet) and Karli-An Gilbert (sixth in the 400, 1:02.53).

“I was pleased,” said longtime Scarborough coach Ron Kelly. “We had a couple girls not compete in events so I wasn’t sure we’d win. I really had no idea. Hosting went well.”

South Portland had 43 points and finished seventh.

The Red Riots were led by their runner-up 400 relay team (51.89) and third-place finishers Nyajock Pan in the 400 (1:00.21) and 800 (2:21.24) and Clara Ellis in the triple jump (33-1.5).

On the boys’ side, Sanford was first with 87 points. Scarborough (58) finished fourth, while South Portland (19) came in 13th.

States

Scarborough and South Portland will take part in the Class A state meet Saturday at Windham High School.

The Red Storm girls are hoping for a fifth championship in seven years, but it won’t come easily, especially if rain, as forecasted, impacts the meet.

“Hopefully it’ll be a warm rain and not a cold rain,” Kelly said. “The big question is will it begin in the morning or afternoon? Bangor is the favorite. If we do what the seeds say, we’ll be second and Edward Little third. We have to score in the field events to have a chance. If a team scores 80 points, they’ll win outright.”

Cape Elizabeth goes to Mt. Desert Island for the Class B meet.
