Cross Country Has Arrived: 1,730 Runners, 7,689 Results, and One Obsessive Database

We Tracked Every Single Step. You Are Welcome.

Analytics207 now covers Maine High School Cross Country, and we went a little overboard. We scraped 7,689 individual race results from 1,730 runners across the entire 2025 fall season. Every meet. Every time. Every kid who laced up spikes and ran until their lungs considered filing a formal complaint.

If your kid runs cross country in Maine, we know their PR. We know their progression. We know if they peaked at regionals or saved their legs for states. We have data on runners most people have never heard of, from schools most GPS systems struggle to locate.

The Numbers That Tell the Story

The boys race was headlined by Alex Gilbert from Freeport who posted a blistering 15:40.95, which for those of you keeping score at home, is running a 5:03 mile pace for 3.1 miles. Through the woods. Up hills. In October in Maine. The man was practically committing a crime against the terrain.

Enzo Giampaolo from Lewiston (15:53.49) and Atticus Merriam from Scarborough (15:58.13) rounded out the top three, with William Morris from tiny Dirigo posting a 15:58.14 that was so close to Merriam it probably caused a photo finish dispute that is still being litigated in Oxford County.

On the girls side, Rowan Barry from Greely owned the season with an 18:01.46, followed by Karen Higgins from Lincoln Academy at 18:16.86 and Laurel Driscoll from Scarborough at 18:29.82. Addison Elliott from Hampden Academy raced a staggering 10 times and still posted an 18:31 PR, which is the kind of volume that suggests either incredible coaching or a profound inability to say no to a registration form.

The Improvers Who Shocked Everyone

Rohit Kumar from Thornton Academy dropped 384 seconds over the course of the season. That is not a typo. That is six minutes and twenty four seconds faster from his first race to his best. If you are doing that math and thinking that does not seem possible, welcome to high school cross country, where freshmen sometimes start the season running like they are being chased by bees and finish it running like they ARE the bees.

Georgia Clews from George Stevens dropped 379 seconds on the girls side, which is the kind of improvement that makes you wonder if she discovered a portal to a parallel dimension where hills run downward in both directions.

What This Means for Parents (aka the People Sitting in Camp Chairs)

Look, we know why you are here. Your kid runs cross country, they come home covered in mud talking about their splits, and you nod like you understand what any of that means. We built this for you.

On Analytics207, you can search any runner by name and see their entire season: every race, every time, a progression chart that shows whether they are trending up or plateauing, and metrics that tell you if they are consistent, improving, or having one of those mysterious mid season slumps that coaches blame on "not enough sleep" and kids blame on "the course was wet."

For coaches, we built The War Room. Pick your team, pick your opponent, and see the projected meet score before the gun goes off. Position by position matchups, pace calculators, and head to head history. It is like having a scouting department, except it costs $7.99 a month instead of a full time salary.

For the Athletes

You ran. You suffered. You deserve to see the data.

Every runner in our system gets a full profile with PR tracking, season progression charts, and analytics breakdowns that would make a college recruiter nod approvingly. Share your profile. Screenshot your PR. Send your progression chart to that kid from the rival school who talked trash at the conference meet.

The data does not lie. And neither do we.

Coming Next Season

The 2025 fall season is in the books, but we are already building for 2026. Cross country may be an offseason sport right now, but the data never sleeps.

Welcome to Analytics207 Cross Country. We track the miles so you do not have to.
