M10-19: Mcmillen Leads a Fast Front Pack at Broken Arrow 11K
- Scottorn Mcmillen (15, Sparks NV) won the M10-19 field in 57:47 (8:27/mi), finishing 1 minute 28 seconds clear of runner-up Cody Johnson.
- The top three — Mcmillen, Johnson, and Cameron Pund — were separated by just 1:52 across the line, all under the hour mark.
- Levi Streit (age 12, Truckee) was the youngest finisher in the field and placed 5th in 1:02:29 — a remarkable result for a 12-year-old on a high-altitude mountain course.
- The field spanned a 63-minute gap from first to last, with 19 boys finishing across a wide range of effort and experience.
Scottorn Mcmillen set the pace from the front and never let it slip, crossing in 57:47 at 8:27 per mile — a clip that commands respect on a course threading between 6,199 and 7,543 feet above sea level. Whether or not the thin air was a factor for any of these young athletes, Mcmillen ran through it cleanly, and his final Snow King–to-finish split ranked 15th in the broader women's field — a useful benchmark for just how hard he was pushing in that closing stretch.
Right on his heels, Cody Johnson (59:15) and Cameron Pund (59:39) made it a genuine three-way contest for the podium. Johnson posted the 23rd-fastest Snow King→finish split among the women's field, Pund the 22nd — nearly identical closing legs that left them just 24 seconds apart at the line. Ethan Scholnick (4th, 1:01:31) actually recorded the strongest closing split of any of the top five — 11th-fastest on that final segment — suggesting he may have had more in reserve earlier in the race.
Twelve-year-old Levi Streit deserves a special mention: 5th place in 1:02:29 in a field that stretched into the 2-hour range is a standout performance for the youngest competitor out there. Behind the top six, the field spread considerably, with Henry Heininger (19, Austin TX) leading the back half of the top ten in 1:12:42. Brothers Henry and Crawford Heininger (9th and 11th) both made the trip from Texas to race at altitude in Tahoe — Crawford finishing in 1:20:49. Will Amato (13, Town and Country MO) closed out the field in 2:00:48, completing the course and earning every second of it.
