Orach featured in PPH after Beach to Beacon
University of Maine graduate student Jesse Orach was highlighted in the Portland Press Herald after he won the Maine men’s division in his first-ever Beach to Beacon race in Cape Elizabeth. Orach, who missed the sign-up for the race and got to take part after one of his friend’s mothers couldn’t participate and he paid the entry transfer fee, won the division in 31 minutes, 32 seconds. Orach graduated from UMaine this past spring with a degree in chemical engineering. Last year, he won the Dean Smith award and was named the America East Men’s Cross Country Scholar-Athlete. This fall, he’ll return to UMaine earn a master’s degree in business and run cross-country. WCSH6 also covered Orach’s division win.
