Consistent Start with a Strong Finish Adelyn VanDyke from Layton, UT showcased a steady performance in the 2026 Deseret News Marathon 10K. She began with two consistent miles, maintaining a strong 8:44 min/mile pace. Her performance dipped somewhat in the third mile, clocking a 10:04 min/mile split, but she remained focused and resilient throughout the race. Notably, Adelyn maintained her position well, lying around the 480th overall and improving in the last mile to 382nd position. Her final overall time of 1:01:20 at a pace of 9:53 min/mile reflects a well-executed strategy, particularly for her age group (F15-18), where she placed 42nd. As a member of the Layton C Women team, this run sets a strong foundation for further improvement. Some attention to pacing consistency in later miles could improve her overall time further.
