Strong Finish with Consistent Gains Grace Driskill demonstrated impressive consistency and speed in the 2025 Phoenix Marathon's 10K event. Starting with a 5:54 min/mile pace, she showed remarkable progress by improving to a 5:44 min/mile pace in the second and third miles. Notably, her strongest split came in the sixth mile with a 5:18 per mile pace, which highlights her ability to finish strong. Grace finished with a total time of 35:48, achieving an overall 9th position out of 1,840 participants, 3rd among female competitors, and 3rd in her division. Overcoming challenges in the fifth mile with a slower 6:25 split, she effectively made a significant comeback in the following mile. For future races, maintaining a steady pace during the middle sections could enhance her performance even further, but her ability to recover and finish with a strong second-half pace speaks volumes about her potential and resilience.
