Consistent Splits with Notable Pace Improvement Ella, a 13-year-old from Vancouver, WA, participated in the 2025 Mesa Marathon 10K, showing consistent effort throughout the race. She completed the course in 1:08:49, with an average pace of 11:06 min/mile. Her split times were steady, with a noteworthy improvement in her third mile, clocking 10:50, the fastest pace of the race. These improvements in pacing show potential for even better performance in future races. Compared to last year's Mesa Marathon, Ella cut down her overall time by 1:36 and improved her pace by 15 seconds per mile. While her finishing place in division F1-14 slipped slightly from 7th to 13th, the overall field size increased. Focusing on maintaining early race pace and aiming for a consistent finish could further elevate her performance. Keep up the dedication, and those improvements will pay off in the standings.
