The Brunswick High School library filled with families, coaches and teammates last Thursday as 12 seniors marked the next step in a pipeline that is sending Dragons athletes to college programs in Maine and beyond.

The ceremony highlighted how Brunswick’s athletic system works across sports, not just in the biggest fall games. Jeremias Bakueti will play soccer at the University of Southern Maine. Darby Brown is headed to the University of Maine at Farmington for field hockey. Remy Cook will swim at Widener College. Liz Green and Lacey Palese are both bound for track and field, Green at USM and Palese at Adelphi University.

The list continued across more programs and more schools. Nieve Logan will join Dickinson College for track and field. Hailie Morton is headed to St. Joseph’s College of Maine for field hockey. Elsa Reynolds will compete in track and field at Gettysburg College. Allan Swain will play baseball at St. Joseph’s. Finn White will continue in lacrosse at St. Joseph’s, and Eben White is set for lacrosse at the University of New England. The contributed photo caption also identified Jansen Weaver as a Gettysburg College track-and-field signee, completing the group of 12 seniors recognized in the library.

For Brunswick High, the signing day served as a public measure of how coaches, families and school programs move students from high school competition to the college level. The destinations ranged from local campuses in Maine to private colleges farther away, a spread that reflects both the reach of Brunswick athletics and the range of opportunities available to student-athletes who keep developing their skills through multiple seasons.

The ceremony also offered a wider snapshot of the school’s sports culture. Brunswick High’s football team celebrated 17 new student-athletes in a signing event in May 2024, but this spring’s gathering showed a broader, multi-sport picture, with soccer, field hockey, swimming, track and field, baseball and lacrosse all represented. For younger athletes in Brunswick and across Sagadahoc County, the message was clear: the path to college sports can run through more than one program, and the work done in school gyms, fields, pools and coaching offices can carry well past graduation.
