Consistent Performance with Strong Pace Recovery Shea Stevens completed the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon with a final time of 2:55:06, achieving an average pace of 13:22 minutes per mile. Out of 6,546 participants, she finished at place 4,848 overall and 2,666 among female competitors. Breaking down her performance, a notable improvement was seen after a slower split at mile 6, where her time was 24:55. Despite this, she executed a remarkable comeback by accelerating to 9:13 at mile 9. As part of the Stevens Girls team, Shea displayed resilience, starting with consistent splits in the early miles within the 11-minute range. Opportunities for further growth could focus on maintaining energy through the midpoint of the race. The initial five miles ranged between 11:22 and 11:28, with a notable fast pace of 6:42 during the fifth mile. This suggests room to harness that speed earlier for a stronger overall performance.
