Significant Improvement and Consistent Splits Jeremiah Sorensen, a 15-year-old runner from Herriman, UT, showed impressive consistency and speed during the 2025 Deseret News Marathon 5K. His overall time was 16:02, maintaining an average pace of 5:10 min/mile over the 3.1-mile course. Notably, each mile split demonstrated steady acceleration with initial mile at 5:26 min/mile, dropping to 5:03 min/mile by the second mile, and finishing strong at 5:04 min/mile. Comparing past performances, Jeremiah has markedly improved since the 2024 Deseret News Marathon, shaving off nearly two minutes from his previous 5K time of 17:59. This improvement is spotlighted by a notable increase in pace from 5:48 min/mile last year to 5:10 min/mile currently. The data suggests a positive trend in both speed and race execution strategy. Consider focusing on maintaining this consistent pacing strategy for future races to potentially enhance final sprint performance.
