Consistent Performance with a Strong Division Finish Amy Morken delivered a consistent performance in the 2026 Mesa Marathon 10K, maintaining impressive split times, particularly excelling with a 6:54 minute mile during her sixth mile. Her overall pace averaged at 7:38 min/mile, showcasing the steady progression with each mile. Remarkably, she maintained a strong position, staying at third in her division from the first to the fifth mile, before finishing fourth in her age group. With a total time of 47:21, Amy finished 174th overall and 48th among all female participants. It's notable that despite the smaller scope of the 10K compared to her previous full marathon performance in 2013, she maintained a pace nearly identical to her marathon average. This indicates a clear ability to sustain effort across various distances. An opportunity might be identifying small areas for further gains, possibly in her starting mile, to enhance future results. Great effort, Amy!
