The Maine Sports Legends Honors and Selection Committee has chosen two local student-athletes as recipients of $1,000 awards in the names of Maryann and James Beaudry. Caribou High School students Karyn King and Spencer McElwain are this year’s award winners.
Funds for the Maine Sports Legends’ Beaudry award are provided by Tom Pecora, who serves as men’s basketball coach at Hofstra University.
James Beaudry is one of the founding members of Maine Sports Legends. He was director of athletics at St. Francis College (now the University of New England) for 21 years and coached five sports.
Maryann, his daughter, was an outstanding athlete at Biddeford High School and Adelphi University. She and her mother, Joan, were killed in an automobile accident in 1992.
Also at the Oct. 12 banquet in Waterville, Rene Cloukey and Bill McAvoy were among those inducted into the Maine Sports Legends Hall of Honors, while Perley Dean and Lawrence “Locky” Gardner were inducted posthumously.
