The Kennebec Valley Athletic Conference cross country championships Saturday will be held at Messalonskee High School.
The races were moved from Cony because its course is still unsuitable for competition.
“It’s the middle section of the course,” Cony Athletic Director TJ Maines said. “The city and our coach have been working hard to get it right, but we just couldn’t get there.”
Maines added the flooding early in the season prevented the Rams from hosting any meets this fall.
“The course never settled in,” he said. “It never came back.”
The KVAC B girls and boys races are scheduled for 11 and 11:45 a.m., respectively. The KVAC A races will follow at 2:30 p.m.
VOLLEYBALL
The KVAC volleyball championships are set for Monday at Cony. Messalonskee, Gardiner, Brewer and Hampden Academy qualified. The semifinals will be at 4:30 p.m. before the championship match is played at 6:30 p.m.
The KVAC all-conference teams will also be announced.

FIELD HOCKEY
HALL-DALE 1, MOUNTAIN VALLEY 0: Brooke Michaud’s goal in the first period lift the Bulldogs in Farmingdale.
“It feels amazing (to get the win),” said Michaud, a senior captain. “The ball just came across the circle, I was by the post and just hit it right in.”
Hall-Dale improved to 7-5. Mountain Valley fell to 4-8.
The win snapped a two-game losing streak for the Bulldogs, who dropped a 2-0 game to the Falcons on Oct. 4.
“This is awesome, this is what we needed,” Hall-Dale head coach Amber Estes said. “We’ve been in a funk. One of our players is out with an injury. We have a brand new player this year… (This win) is exactly what we needed.”
