Strong Midrace Surge Fuels Top 10% Finish Clark Bils covered the 10K in 53:37, finishing 293rd overall and 197th among men out of the field of 3,071. That result placed him in the top 10 percent of all competitors. Bils ran a steady pace through the first four miles, holding between 8:44 and 8:50 per mile, before dropping his fastest mile of the race 8:01 over mile five. He eased slightly in the final mile, closing in 8:58, but the mid-race surge secured his overall placement. Racing at Boulder's elevation of over 5,000 feet, Bils's ability to sustain sub-9:00 pacing throughout stands out as the defining feature of his race.
