Olympian Flanagan wins Rock ‘n’ Roll half marathon (Yahoo Sports)
U.S. Olympian Shalane Flanagan won the women’s half marathon in 1 hour, 7 minutes, 51 seconds at the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon on Sunday, breaking her personal best by 40 seconds. It was the second-fastest half marathon by an American this year, behind Molly Huddle’s 1:07:41 at the NYC Half in March. Amy Cragg, who beat Flanagan at the U.S. Olympic Trials marathon in February, finished two minutes behind Flanagan, but still ran a personal-best 1:09:51.
