FRYEBURG — The Fryeburg Academy indoor track team boasts some talented athletes who should score points at the Class B State Meet come season's end. Head Coach Kevin McDonald has 21 female athletes and 12 males shifting from the conditioning training phase of preseason toward the pre-competition phase which will run through early meets in the New Year.
At this point, McDonald is excited to have outstanding prospects which could lead the girls to a Top 10 team result (of 45 girls teams) at State Championships in February. The boys' team lacks the depth and number of top athletes the girls' team is blessed with but should post several State Meet qualifiers and aim to finish in the top half of the pack.
