Consistent Podium Finish in Second Kids K Finnea Vanderford achieved an impressive performance in the 2025 Whidbey Island Kids K event, finishing the 0.6-mile race with a time of 3:23. With a pace of 5:39 min/mile, she secured the 2nd place in both her gender and division, among 56 participants. The slight decrease in pace compared to the previous year (4:55 min/mile) indicates an area for potential improvement. Focusing on consistent pacing might help regain her earlier speed. Her participation in prior races, notably the Half Marathon, showcases her experience and commitment to running. Notably, in that event, she achieved a notable 1st place in her division. Building upon this varied race experience could be advantageous for Finnea's future races. Regular training, and perhaps integrating pace-specific drills, may align her performance across different distances. Her resilience and consistency shine through her multiple races.
