North Yamhill Native Ben True Pulls Out of Beach to BeaconPublished by Portland Press Herald on July 29, 2015 Ben True, a native of North Yarmouth who placed third in the 2014 TD Beach to Beacon 10K, has withdrawn from Saturday’s 18th running of the race. True’s agent, Matt Lane, said Wednesday the decision was a difficult one, given True’s admiration for the race and its founder, Joan Benoit Samuelson, as well as the possibility that True had a shot at becoming the first American to win the event. “The worst part of our job is when we have to make a decision to not do a race, especially this race,” Lane said. “But we’re trying to balance what’s the most important part of his season.” More news |
