She spent 10 minutes shivering in the recovery tent after the Boston Marathon before some attendants came over to help her get out of her wet, frozen clothes and warm up.
But St. Agatha native and former Wisdom High School and University of Maine basketball standout Tracy Guerrette had a memorable performance as she finished 25th overall among the 13,391 female entrants with a time of 2:54:02.
She was also the first finisher among the women from Maine and turned in her best time in her three Boston Marathons.
The other top five Maine women were Heather Eaton, 25, of Gray (3:20:30, 864th) and Renee Durgin, 44, from Scarborough (3:22:18, 1,005th) followed by Johanna Stickney from Gardiner (3:26:46, 1,456th) and Karen Fogg from York (3:27:45, 1,572nd). Bar Harbor’s Rebeccah Geib was sixth at 3:29:01 which left her 1,583rd among the women’s field.
Thomas Pore, 37, of Saco was the leading finisher among Maine men with a time of 2:42:33, which was 196th overall. Greg Fullman, 30, of Scarborough, was next at 2:46:55 (362nd) followed by Joseph Satterfield, 40, of Bowdoinham (2:48:09, 438th), Craig Nale from Freeport (2:50:44, 605th) and Crow Norlander from Portland (2:52:01, 697th).
