Consistent Performance Pays Off Emma Westwater demonstrated commendable consistency during the 2026 M&T Bank Vermont City Marathon. With an overall finish time of 3:41:16 and an average pace of 8:26 minutes per mile, Emma maintained a smooth and regular pace throughout the 26.2 miles. Notably, her split times varied slightly, but her speed increased near the end. For instance, her 12th mile clocked in at just 8:11, a strong segment that shows her capacity to maintain and even improve speed towards the later stages of the race. Emma's overall placing was 461st out of 1,834 participants, and she secured 105th in her gender category. In her division (F25-29), she was 25th, reflecting solid competitive performance within her age group. One area to focus on could be the 21st mile where she clocked an 8:49 split, indicating potential fatigue or pacing strategy adjustment.
