Shamrock Half Marathon N30-34: Mohammadi Dominates from Wire to Wire
- Ramin Mohammadi won the N30-34 age group in 1:42:28 (7:49/mi), never relinquishing the lead and posting the fastest women's split on the 5K→10K segment.
- Mackenzie Maison claimed 2nd in 2:21:05, nearly 39 minutes back, with the 3rd-fastest women's split on the 5K→10K stretch.
- Katharyn Dembowski finished 3rd in 2:41:59 — a 20-minute gap back to Maison — while Ravynn Sykes rounded out the group in 4th at 3:39:39.
- The spread from 1st to 4th was nearly two hours, making this one of the widest finish gaps in the N30-34 group.
Ramin Mohammadi made the N30-34 race look straightforward in the warm, windy conditions at Virginia Beach — 71°F, 17 mph winds, and 73% humidity that had the potential to slow everyone down. She led from the opening checkpoint and never budged, holding the top spot through every split en route to a 1:42:28 finish at 7:49 per mile. On the 5K→10K segment she was the fastest among the women in the entire field — a standout mark that underscored just how controlled and strong her effort was.
Mackenzie Maison settled into 2nd in the age group by the finish, crossing in 2:21:05. She was moving well early — her 3rd-fastest women's split on the 5K→10K segment shows she wasn't simply surviving the conditions — but the gap to Mohammadi was insurmountable. Katharyn Dembowski held steady in 3rd at 2:41:59, posting the 4th-fastest women's split on that same stretch and never losing her position through the race.
Ravynn Sykes brought it home in 4th at 3:39:39, averaging 16:45 per mile on a day when the heat and wind made every mile a negotiation. Her position among the women in the broader field held at 7th from start to finish — a model of consistency, if not speed. With nearly two hours separating the top and bottom of this four-person group, the N30-34 field told four very different stories about what it takes to cover 13.1 miles on a tough Virginia Beach morning.
