SCARBOROUGH — Thornton Academy senior Dan Smith and Kennebunk freshman Abbey Leonardi were rewarded for their stellar regular seasons and then went out and lived up to their billing as the top two outdoor track and field athletes at Saturday’s Southwestern championships at Mitchell Sports Complex.

Each were named the regular season MVPs of the SMAA and won two events in impressive fashion on the Scarborough High turf.

Leonardi won both the 800 (2:17.68) and 1600-meter (4:59.55) runs, and Smith took the discus and missed the league’s record by a single inch in winning the shot put. His 59-foot, 1-inch heave was just shy of Ed Bogdonavich’s 1977 record.

The host Red Storm won eight events en route to 161 points and a runaway victory on the girls’ side, followed by Cheverus (61 points) and Thornton Academy (53).

On the boys’ side, Bonny Eagle and Cheverus each scored 94 points to share the league crown. Smith’s Golden Trojans tallied 75.33 points and a third place finish.

Golden Trojans sprinter August Ibekilo placed first in the 100 (11.63), second in 200 (23.92) and anchored Thornton’s winning 4×100 relay team.

Other Trojans who placed highly included Colby Parker, who was third in high jump (5-10), and Chad Harvey, who took third in long jump (20-05).

Biddeford’s Justin Gagne was just behind Smith in the discus at 151-06 and was third in shot put (51-09.25).

Other local scorers on the boys side included Massabesic’s Corey Hart, who was second in the racewalk (7:02.6), Kennebunk’s Hunter Plaisted, who placed third in 400 (52.96) and Sanford’s Quinn Ramini, who leaped to second in the triple jump (42-02.75).

On the girls’ side, Biddeford’s Maria Curit shined in taking first in both the 400 (59.14) and long jump (16-08) and was also second in 200 (27.50).

Massabesic’s Georgia Boisse also had a fine day, placing first in the discus (121-00) and in shot put (38-03.5), she was also third in javelin (103-07).

Her Tigers teammate Keila Grigware was fourth in the javelin (102-05) and fifth in the discus and shot put.

Thornton had a host of scorers including Thornton’s Kaitlyn Hall, who had a pair of seconds in the 100 hurdles (17.59) and high jump (4-08), Christie Roberts, who was third in 300 hurdles (50.53), Grace Glynn, who placed fourth in 3200 (12:14.07), and Abbey Huntress, who was fourth in discus (95-11) and shot put (34-09.25). The Trojans also took second in the 4×100 (51.41).

Other local scorers included Massabesic’s Sarah Cadorette, who was second in the race walk (9:44.80) and Sanford’s Taylor Flood, who placed fourth in 400 (1:02.25).

In WMC action from Saturday, Wells’ Codey Rich won the 400 (50.55) and was second in both the 100 (11.56) and 200 (23.21) on the boys side. The Warriors’ girls best finish was a fourth in the 4×100 relay. Kelsey Lewia was seventh in the 100 and eighth in the 200 for the Warriors.
