BELFAST  — Brunswick’s Will Shaughnessy won the boys Tournament of Chanmpions high school cross country race, leading the Dragons to their second straight team title at the event at Troy Howard Middle School on Saturday.

“I felt comfortable making a big move around the mile, or even sooner,” Shaughnessy said, “and, I don’t know, I just never looked back. I went for it.” 

Shaughnessy’s win was only the start for the Dragons. Brunswick also got a seventh-place finish from Tyler Patterson, a 14th-place finish from Joey Valliere and a win in the freshman race from Eli Palmer (17:18.55), lifting it to 105 points and a team win over York (192), Bangor (197), Scarborough (225) and Falmouth (292). 

“You’re just watching people warm up and you’re seeing how great the other athletes are,” Brunswick coach Dan Dearing said of the deep field that included several teams from throughout New England and Canada. “To beat these teams is quite an accomplishment. Anything can happen week to week, this was our day and it’s really humbling to win something like this, because the competition is so good.”
