Brunswick’s girls found a way through steady rain and cold at Fuller Field in Augusta, outlasting the weather and the field to win the KVAC Large School track and field championship with 169.5 points. The Dragons’ title stood out because the meet was miserable from start to finish, yet records still fell and Brunswick left with the clearest prize of the day, a championship that gave the program another major spring finish.

The meet was held Friday, May 29, 2026, and Brunswick’s margin made the result feel settled even as the conditions threatened to flatten performances. Lewiston won the boys championship, but on the girls side Brunswick controlled the scoreboard and finished comfortably ahead of the pack, including Mt. Ararat. In a conference where every event can swing the standings, 169.5 points showed the Dragons had enough depth to survive the weather and still score heavily.

One of Brunswick’s clearest performances came in the girls 4x800 relay, which won in 10:17.30. The boys 4x800 relay also put Brunswick in the mix, finishing second in 8:47.35. Those relay results underscored the kind of balance that often decides conference meets, especially on a day when cold rain makes it harder for athletes to produce clean marks and fast times across the board.

For Brunswick, the championship added to a strong run in the KVAC Large ranks. The Dragons also won the girls indoor title in February 2026 with 133.5 points, and they had already claimed the girls outdoor conference crown in 2023 with 168 points. This year’s 169.5-point total fits that pattern of sustained strength rather than a one-off surge, a sign that the program has kept its top end and its depth intact from winter to spring.

That consistency matters in Sagadahoc County, where Brunswick High School’s success tends to resonate well beyond the track. The town follows its high school athletes closely, and a conference title won in rough conditions carries extra weight heading into the postseason. The KVAC Large has remained competitive in recent years, with Mt. Ararat, Lewiston and Brunswick all trading high-end results, but Friday’s meet belonged to the Dragons.
