Consistent Progression and Strong Finish Alexandra Midler from La Jolla, CA, demonstrated a commendable race performance in the 2026 Bay to Breakers as part of the Stanford Running Club. Covering 7.45 miles in 1:15:35, she maintained an impressive overall pace of 10:08 min/mile. Notably, the sixth and seventh miles were her strongest, clocking in at sub-9-minute paces of 8:56 and 9:11, respectively. These final miles showcased her capacity to sustain energy and pick up the pace towards the end. Her positioning progressed during the race, moving from 350th to 200th with a significant improvement at the third mile.
