Biography
[edit | edit source]The Games report refers to Corey as a "Frenchman wearing the colors of the Chicago Athletic Association".[2] Corey was a French immigrant to the United States, who lived in the United States and did not have the right papers. The International Olympic Committee attributes his medals in the marathon and the four mile team race to France.[3]
Competing for the First Regiment Athletic Association of Chicago on June 6, 1908, Corey finished ahead of Roy Kemper and teammate Alexander Thibeau to win the 15-mile St. Louis Marathon.[4]
