Bechtol '07 Wins San Francisco Marathon

Keith Bechtol won the San Francisco Marathon today in 2:23.28. Bechtol was a multi time All-American and still stands #4 on the all time 10K list with a 28:55. Keith is a PhD student in Stanford (Thanks for the heads up from Jared Campbell. If you have alumni information, please e-mail kenhalla@gmail.com). I just received the newsclip above from Keith's mom. Apparently the organizers didn't think he was a legitimate runner and there was some question as to whether he ran the entire race! Guess they don't follow this site!
