“Four years after arriving at Hampden Academy as an accomplished middle school talent, Charlie Collins transformed the program. By the time he was done, the Broncos were back-to-back state team champions and he’d won an individual crown. Collins broke course records at the Hampden and Saxl Park layouts last fall and also won the 678-runner Maine Festival of Champions meet.”
