Date: Oct. 5, 2025 Participant: Yexica Sanchez #22252 Race: 2025 Portland 10K MindRX Group Distance: 6.2 miles

Strong Mid-Race Split Performance Yexica Sanchez, representing the Nike Employee Team at the 2025 Portland Marathon's 10K MindRX Group, demonstrated steady pacing with a total race time of 1:27:23 at an average pace of 14:05 minutes per mile. Notably, in miles 4 and 5, Yexica maintained a strong pace, clocking 13:44 minutes per mile for both splits, which was among her fastest, securing her consistent placement within her division. For improvement, attention on maintaining such pacing in the initial miles could be beneficial. Her split performance from miles 4 and 5 shows potential, which, when applied earlier, could yield faster overall times. Despite these areas for strategic enhancement, Yexica showed resilience, ranking well in the middle of the pack overall and within her age division, solidifying her finish amongst 2114 participants. Keep leveraging those mid-race strengths for improvement in future races.
