On the run

Yarmouth's Matt Lane prepares to run the TD Banknorth Beach To Beacon on Saturday in Cape Elizabeth.

But if you turn the clock back about 12 1/2 years (or simply do a Google search), chances are you'll turn up a New York Times story on Lane, who competed in the 1995 Foot Locker High School Championship, the national scholastic cross country championship race in San Diego.

Lane, a Yarmouth High School graduate, finished fourth in San Diego. He ran professionally and is now a third-year law student at the Maine School of Law and a track and cross country coach at Yarmouth.

Rachel is in her fourth year as a sports reporter at the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram. A Maryland native and a former college soccer and softball player, she covered high school and college sports at newspapers in Pennsylvania, Texas and Colorado before joining the Press Herald/Sunday Telegram staff in June of 2004.

She grew up watching the NHL, the Pittsburgh Steelers, Georgetown basketball and the Baltimore Orioles and is a confessed sports nut. Her interests include reading and movies, going to the gym, Motown and '70s R&B music and following the New York City tabloids.

Married in July, she and her husband Tommy are avid Steelers and Kansas Jayhawks fans. Their toughest decision as newlyweds has been "NESN or ESPN?"
