Broken Arrow Skyrace IFC — F20-29: Rentzke Claims It Convincingly

• Emma Rentzke, 26, wins the F20-29 field in 2:26:52 (29:22/mi avg) on a high-elevation IFC course ranging up to 7,191 ft.
• Anna Amato, 21, finishes 2nd in 3:14:35 — 47:43 behind the winner.
• Two finishers completed the F20-29 field on a warm, clear day at Palisades, Tahoe.

Emma Rentzke made the F20-29 race her own from the jump. The 26-year-old from Fort Pierce, FL crossed the line in 2:26:52 at a 29:22/mi average — a pace that commands respect on a course threading between 6,220 and 7,191 feet of elevation, where thinner air can quietly sap effort even on a picture-perfect 70°F day with barely a breath of wind. There was no drama at the top: Rentzke won cleanly and by a wide margin.

Anna Amato, the 21-year-old from Town and Country, MO, rounded out the field in 3:14:35 — a 38:55/mi average that reflects just how demanding this course can be, particularly for athletes who may be unaccustomed to racing at altitude. The gap to Rentzke was 47:43, a difference that tells its own story about how far ahead the winner ran all afternoon.

A two-person field is a small stage, but every finisher who takes on a skyrace at this elevation earns their place on it. Rentzke took the win decisively; Amato saw it through to the finish line. That's the F20-29 story at the 2026 Broken Arrow Skyrace IFC.
