Consistent Performance with a Strong Finish Lawson demonstrated impressive consistency during the 2026 M&T Bank Vermont City Marathon. Starting with an initial split of 8:27 min/mile for the first mile, she quickly found her stride, reducing her pace to sub-8:00 min/mile for most of the race. Her strongest performance appeared from miles 9 through 13, maintaining a pace around 7:31 - 7:33 min/mile. Despite a slight slowdown in the latter stages of the race, Lawson successfully maintained an overall average pace of 7:50 min/mile, completing the marathon with a time of 3:25:38.

For future races, focusing on sustaining her peak mid-race pace in later stages could improve her standings further. Well done on representing Missoula with resilience and consistency.
