Who goofed, I've got to know?

: 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.

: Just a post about the runners formerly of
: the
: beach,
:
: Jim Grabow won the half marathon sunday
: morning in 1:04:46. All American in 5k
: indoors for the Beach a few years back. If
: run at USA championships last year would
: have been in the top 20.
:
: Eli Rodriguez won the marathon in 2:25:57.
: He's won a few marathons now. Believe he won
: the O.C. marathon earlier this year in
: 2:26:30.
:
: For the women last years star Carly Harris
: ran the half marathon and placed 6th
: overall, coming off an injury sustained
: getting hit by a car, and Nicole Blalock ran
: the full marathon just over 3 hours to place
: in the top ten.
:
:
: The XC team this year is doing well, off to
: Santa Clara Invitational next weekend, then
: to the Big West Championships, women have an
: outside shot at the Big West title if all
: goes right, but heated race could see them
: 5th on a bad day. On the men's side Cal Poly
: is nationally ranked, and set to win again,
: 2nd may be a reach, but a big challenge for
: 3rd is possible.
