Patty’s Race, 2005, Post Race Article in Lincoln News


LEE ­ While many might have grumbled at the rain that came down Sunday afternoon, somewhere Patti Corbin was smiling.   Corbin, 17 when she died a few years ago in a car accident on Interstate 95, loved to run in the rain, according to her father, Michael, who spoke before Sundayıs third annual ³Pattyıs Race, a road race with proceeds going to benefit a scholarship fund at Lee Academy in Pattyıs honor.   She loved to splash her teammates in the puddles, he said, drawing laughter from those who braved the elements to run the race.   In a way, the rain also benefitted overall race winner Drew Pickering of Lee. A junior at Lee Academy, Pickering originally had other plans for his Sunday, he explained after the race.   I had a (soccer) game down in Portland, he explained.   He found out Sunday morning, though, that the rain and wind that blew through the state over the weekend had forced the game to be canceled.   The field had five inches of water, he said.   Thus, he turned his attention to the race and managed to edge out LA graduate Ty Thurlow to win the race. Pickering finished nine seconds ahead of Thurlow (19:42 to 19:51), denying Thurlow the chance to become the first two-time winner of the event.   We were neck and neck pretty much the whole race, he said.   The race course, which included part of Lee Academyıs cross country trail, was in pretty good shape despite the recent damp weather, Pickering said.   I thought (the course) was pretty good for how much rain we had, he said.   The first female finisher (finishing the 3.1 mile course in 29:32) was Elizabeth Comeau of Lincoln, a junior at the University of Maine-Farmington. A former cross country runner at Mattanawcook Academy, she said she hasnıt had much time to train.   Elizabeth and her father, Ed, finished together, as was the case in the past few years.   He definitely pushed me throughout the entire thing, she said after the race. I donıt think Iıd be able to do it without him, Iıll tell you what. Heıs my running buddy.   Elizabeth Comeau said she and Patty Corbin used to dance together several years ago under the direction of Gail Shedd.   Ed Comeau said he plans to keep racing with his daughter as long as possible.   A total of 127 people crossed the finish line, while more than 200 people registered for the event. While there were many age category winners, the biggest winner on the day was the Patricia Lynn Corbin scholarship fund, which awards one scholarship to a Lee Academy senior to further their educational dreams. This yearıs event raised more than $3,000 from registration fees and sponsorships (a full list of sponsors can be found on page 32) and several people won t-shirts, water bottles and other prizes during a post-race drawing.   Among those participating in Sundayıs race were LA graduates Jessie Kuester and Samantha Cole, the first two recipients of the Patty Corbin scholarship.
