Impressive Consistency with a Strong Finish Taylor Stephens from Plain City, UT, delivered an exceptionally consistent performance at the 2025 Ogden Marathon 8 Mile event. Across the eight miles, Taylor demonstrated impressive pace control, maintaining an average pace of 6:34 min/mile. His split times were commendably steady, starting at a pace of 6:33 min/mile for the first mile and improving slightly in the next few intervals. Notably, Taylor maintained his third-place position through to the sixth mile, showcasing his strength in the early part of the race. While Taylor did experience a slight drop in pace during the final two miles, with a notable 7:20 min/mile split at mile eight, he secured first place in his age division (M30-34). Finishing fourth overall out of 827 participants and fourth among male competitors, his performance in the men's 30-34 division was top-tier. For future races, focusing on maintaining speed in the later stages might enhance Taylor's overall standing even further.
