Her initial mile was completed in 6:36, setting a strong foundation from the start. A noteworthy highlight was the split on the 6th mile with a sharp downhill at 6:36, matching her initial split, showcasing effective recovery and pacing strategy after the elevation challenge on Hayes Hill. Despite the slower pace of 7:34 during the third split, likely due to the uphill, she quickly adapted and regained momentum in subsequent miles.
