The PT article duly noted Rodriguez' status as a former Beach runner. However, the PT failed to do so for Grabow despite that he's the most-decorated Beach distance runner in years.
BTW - kind of tough to compare 1/2-marathon times due to differences in course difficulty, race tactics and the little-known reality that courses are not necessarily the advertised distances. For instance, the championship HS XC "3-mile" course at Mt. SAC is actually only 2.91 miles.
