FRYEBURG – Well worth the trip.
No team spent more time on a bus traveling to and from Fort Kent, Maine, for the Maine Class A State High School Nordic Championships than Fryeburg Academy, but the almost 800 miles of travel over three days was worth it. The Fryeburg boys won their first state team championship since 2011 on Tuesday.
