Strong Overall Finish Highlights Steady 5K Effort Zachary Mcpherson crossed the line in 19:26, good for 60th overall and 46th among men in a field of 2,677. His race unfolded with a quick opening mile at 6:13, then a standout second mile in 5:43the fastest stretch of his racebefore closing with a 6:45 final mile. That surge in the middle set up his strong overall placement, even as the pace eased slightly at the end.
