Last year, Downeast did a big issue on 1972 as a pivotal year for Maine. While it doesn't cover all of what you're looking for you'll find a few things in there, I think.

They have a blurb about Joannie Benoit in high school but show a picture of her wearing her Bowdoin kit in the Boston Marathon 7 years later. I have a pic of Joannie in her Cape Elizabeth gear from 1974. She ran her 880 in the girls race faster than I ran mine in the boys race... Triple C conference.
