FRYEBURG — Coach John Weston, who is in his 28th season at the helm of the Fryeburg Academy cross-country ski team, is “cautiously optimistic” about this year’s Raiders. He’ll learn a lot more about the boys’ and girls’ teams once they get a few races under their skis.

The Raiders opened their 2026 racing schedule with a home meet at Stark’s Hill in Fryeburg on Wednesday. The Raiders hosted Brunswick, Falmouth, Freeport, Waynflete and Yarmouth in a 5K skate race. Results were not known as of press time.
