GORHAM, Maine — The Fryeburg Academy indoor boys’ and girls’ track teams opened 2026 with a pair of second-place results in a meet held at the University of Southern Maine in Gorham on Jan. 9, and then turned in a number of outstanding performances there at the Marathon Sports Elite Indoor Invitational on Monday.
“We had a great showing, although we were still missing a few people because of travel and others because of sickness,” said Trevor Hope, Raiders’ head coach, of the Jan. 9 meet.
