Notably, he delivered his fastest mile in an impressive 6:05, demonstrating a burst of speed mid-race. Matthew's placements showed fluctuations, but overall, he maintained a strong position among 6,546 participants. His finish positions were notably higher in the latter part of the race. Mile 5 marked a major advance, moving up to 641st overall, and he maintained a spot close to this before achieving his final position at 973rd.
