Broken Arrow 11K — F20-29: Rangel Holds Off a Hard-Charging Wilson

• Harumi Rangel (Sandy, UT) wins F20-29 in 1:22:16 (12:02/mi), finishing 16 seconds ahead of runner-up Ellie Wilson.
• Ellie Wilson ran the first half fastest among the top finishers — then faded from 12th to 24th among women before the closing segment closed the gap, but not enough: she crosses in 1:22:32 for 2nd.
• Jana Grubbs completes the podium in 1:23:55, posting the 27th-fastest women's split on the second half to hold 3rd.
• Kellie Lawler's closing surge — the 23rd-fastest women's split on Snow King→Finish — carried her from 36th to 29th among women and secured 4th in 1:25:15.

Harumi Rangel crossed the line first in the F20-29 field in 1:22:16, running 12:02 per mile across a course that climbs and drops between roughly 6,200 and 7,500 feet. She held a steady 26th place among women through the first two checkpoints, then moved up to 23rd on the final Snow King→Finish segment — posting the 13th-fastest women's closing split — to seal the win with room to spare.

The race's most dramatic arc belonged to Ellie Wilson. The South Lake Tahoe local came through the early going as high as 12th among women, but the middle stretch — Olympic Valley East to Snow King — proved costly. Her 26th-fastest women's split on that segment coincided with a slide from 12th to 19th, and then to 24th by the finish. She crossed in 1:22:32, just 16 seconds behind Rangel — a gap that tells you how tight the race was at the line, even as it reflects a very different trajectory to get there.

Jana Grubbs (Rio Linda, CA) ran a composed race to take 3rd in 1:23:55, moving from 27th to 25th among women and holding her position on the second half. Behind her, Kellie Lawler (Reno, NV) made her move late — climbing from 36th all the way to 29th among women on the closing segment and finishing 4th in 1:25:15. Riley Harmon rounded out the top five in 1:27:28, also gaining ground on Snow King→Finish. Madeline Woldenbarger (6th, 1:28:39) and Taylor Galletti (7th, 1:31:22) extended a competitive top tier across 37 F20-29 finishers on a clear, cool morning at Palisades Tahoe.
