San Carlos Man Finishes in Top 700 of San Francisco Marathon

Carlmont High grad completes the race around the city in just over three and a half hours.

Samuel Dahlin was a pretty good runner when he was on the Carlmont High cross country team. The Scots are perennial championship contenders in the Peninsula Athletic League.

Running well in the Rotary Fun Run is one thing, but finishing among the top 11 percent of all runners in a 6,437-runner marathon is something else.

Dahlin, who lives in San Carlos finished 697th overall, and was the 605th male to finish in Sunday's San Francisco Marathon, a course that took runners across the Golden Gate Bridge and ended near AT&T Park, home of the Giants.

Sequoia High grad Daniel Raggio finished 1,021th overall in 3:43.31 and was the 865th male to cross the finish line.

Raggio finished second to Carlmont senior Matt Rouse in May's San Carlos Rotary 10K Fun Run.

Mika Kosaka, age 24, was the top San Carlos woman runner. She was 1,194th overall but the 192nd female finisher. She finished in 3:47.24.

Kosaka graduated from Woodside High.

The following are San Carlos runners found through the first 25 pages of results, with overall finish (finish by gender) and ranked by net time.

If the city council likes fake plastic nature, then let them saran-wrap their own yards! LEAVE OURRead More PARKS ALONE!! This is soccer special interest pressure on city government at its worst, and the city council appears unwilling or unable to withstand it. Crestview Park is a particularly quiet, serene, simple park with lovely views which the council now wants to turn into a sports arena. Any day you can go there and see families playing on the grass, toddlers and moms enjoying picnics and play time, kids learning to ride their bikes on the nice flat paved area, athletes and older folks enjoying the flat natural track (the only one in San Carlos) to get in shape, teens throwing frisbees on the lawn. It is a perfect place for ALL residents to enjoy according to their needs, not a sports arena dedicated to one activity at the expense of all. Belmont faced a similar lack of sports venues, but they did not choose to pave paradise. They wisely raised money and built a sports complex and spared their beautiful parks for use by ALL residents. I would like to see our city council do the right thing also. And by the way, the opposition to this short-sighted plan is far more than "some residents"! Please visit our booth at Hometown Days.

One summer my kid had soccer camp on at an artificial turf field. It was terrible. It madeRead More everything hotter and very uncomfortable. I had to pull my kid out of camp early because of it. I do not think it is better for the environment OR for kids. Just go to any turf field and try to walk across it on a hot day. Try to go barefoot on it (good luck!) We have been told not to microwave plastic containers because of BPA and bad chemicals that can cause cancer. What about heating up plastic grass and running around on it, breathing the fumes that come off it?? How is that any different?

Artificial turf is appropriate for dedicated use sports venues, not for multi-use city parks.

Thanks for doing this. The one blatant thing I observe on a daily basis is the number and frequencyRead More of deputy's at Starbucks on 800 laurel street and the sky kitchen. I never see them in the neighborhoods. The police department was much better
