Girls 14-and-Under: Brooklyn Wake Dominates in Fresno Heat

• Brooklyn Wake, 13, wins the F0-14 group in 47:53 (7:42/mi), posting the 10th-fastest women's split on the final stretch to the finish.
• Mckenzie Feagin, 14, takes 2nd in 50:32 — a 2:39 gap back, averaging 8:08/mi and holding 11th among women at the line.
• Isabella Ganzenhuber delivers the strongest closing surge in the age group, moving from 43rd to 28th among women on the final segment with the 29th-fastest women's split — finishing 3rd in 54:57.
• K. Giotta, 12, rounds out the top four in 58:39, while the Renaud duo — Zoey (8th, 2:07:04) and A. Renaud (9th, 2:07:07) — crossed together at a 20:27/mi pace.

Running a 7:42/mi average on a warm November morning in Fresno, 13-year-old Brooklyn Wake of Clovis made the F0-14 race look straightforward. She entered the final mile-to-finish stretch sitting 3rd among women and climbed no higher — but her 10th-fastest women's split on that closing segment confirmed she was still pressing hard all the way through the tape, finishing in 47:53.

Mckenzie Feagin of Fresno was a clear second, crossing in 50:32 at 8:08/mi and sitting 11th among women at the finish. The most compelling move of the race, however, came from 13-year-old Isabella Ganzenhuber, also of Fresno. She was buried 43rd among women at the one-mile mark, then ran the 29th-fastest women's split on the closing segment to vault all the way to 28th — finishing 3rd in the age group in 54:57. That's a genuine catch-up story, and it earned her the final podium spot.

Behind them, 12-year-old K. Giotta of Turlock held 9th among women early before fading to 72nd on the closing leg, finishing 4th in 58:39. Bea Yrastorza (5th, 1:02:33) and J. Hernandez (6th, 1:03:18) were separated by just 45 seconds, while A. Galvez finished 7th in 1:10:20. Zoey Renaud and A. Renaud — likely racing together the whole way — crossed virtually in tandem at 2:07:04 and 2:07:07, completing the nine-finisher F0-14 field.
