F Podium: Weibel dominates on home turf at Broken Arrow

• Amber Weibel won the F Podium in 1:07:15 — nearly 14 minutes clear of the field, averaging 13:27/mi across a course topping out above 7,000 feet.
• Sarah Malone held off Kelly Fuson for 2nd, finishing in 1:21:14 — a 7:45 gap back to Fuson's 1:28:59.
• All three finishers were 43 or older, making this one of the more experienced podiums of the day.

Amber Weibel made the F Podium look like a solo time trial. The South Lake Tahoe local crossed in 1:07:15 at a 13:27/mi clip — a pace that reads all the more impressively given a course that climbs through thin air between 6,200 and 7,200 feet. Whether familiarity with the altitude played a role or not, Weibel was simply in a different gear, building a margin that reached nearly 14 minutes by the finish line.

Behind her, Sarah Malone of Superior, Colorado made her own statement. Running out of a training base already well above sea level, she held a steady 16:15/mi to claim 2nd in 1:21:14 — comfortable enough ahead of Kelly Fuson to make the podium secure, but Fuson was never far enough back to be dismissed. The Truckee local pushed through in 1:28:59, averaging 17:48/mi on a warm, clear afternoon where 70°F and the altitude combined to make every minute earned.

Three finishers, three athletes in their 40s, and a 21-minute spread from top to bottom — the F Podium at Broken Arrow 2026 was defined by Weibel's commanding wire-to-wire effort, with Malone and Fuson scrapping out a respectable battle for the remaining spots on the podium.
