Starting with a steady 9:04 min/mile pace for the first mile, Kieran picked up the speed with subsequent splits reflecting efficient and improved pacing, highlighted by a strong 8:23 min/mile pace at the 3-mile and 5-mile marks. Kieran maintained a consistent pace throughout the race, finishing with an average pace of 8:56 min/mile. Ending the race with an official time of 1:57:10, she secured 2nd place in the F19-24 division. Her race strategy paid off remarkably well, as seen in her movement through the field.
