Men's Broken Arrow 11K: McMahan Untouchable at the Top
- Noah McMahan, 19, wins in 19:01 — a 2:47/mi average at altitude and 87°F heat that left the rest of the men's field nearly three minutes back.
- Henry Weisberg (21:44) and Travis Lavin (22:04) rounded out the podium, separated by just 20 seconds, with Lavin posting the 3rd-fastest Snow King→Finish split among the men.
- Samuel Delgado climbed from 6th to 5th on the Snow King→Finish segment, edging out a place in the final push to the line.
- Scottorn McMillen (age 15) and Cody Johnson (age 15) both cracked the top 15, finishing 12th and 15th respectively — and 12-year-old Levi Streit rounded out the top 20.
Noah McMahan simply ran away from the field. The 19-year-old from Incline Village — local to the Tahoe terrain — clocked 19:01 across the 11K, a 2:47/mi average on a course that climbs and bites at nearly 7,000 feet of elevation. He led wire-to-wire, held the top men's spot from the first checkpoint to the finish, and then added the fastest Snow King→Finish split in the men's field to punctuate it. On a day that hit 87°F, that kind of sustained output is worth noting.
Behind him, Weisberg and Lavin ran a clean podium battle. Weisberg came in at 21:44 — 2:43 back from McMahan — and Lavin closed the gap to just 20 seconds with the 3rd-fastest closing split among the men. Weisberg's 4th-fastest Snow King→Finish split kept him clear, but Lavin was the one pressing hardest at the end. Joseph Roldan held 4th in 23:48, while Delgado made the race's most notable move, advancing from 6th to 5th on that same closing stretch to finish in 24:43.
The depth of the men's field across 215 finishers made the youth performances in the top 20 all the more striking. McMillen and Johnson, both 15, finished 12th and 15th — ahead of plenty of adult competitors in a competitive field. Levi Streit, just 12 years old, slotted into 20th at 32:34. At high altitude, in summer heat, that's a field worth watching for years to come.
