Two Cities Marathon 10K — F60-64: Uribe Takes the Win in the Central Valley Heat

• Romelia Uribe won the F60-64 age group in 58:26 (9:24/mi), the only finisher to break the one-hour mark.
• Karen Camoroda finished 2nd in 58:57 — just 31 seconds back — and posted the 70th-fastest women's closing split (1M→Finish), actually running that final stretch faster than she opened, climbing from 88th to 75th among women.
• Janet Teixeira took 3rd in 1:00:55, making the biggest move of the day: she surged from 160th to 104th among women on the closing segment, posting the 91st-fastest women's split on that stretch.
• Krystyna Sarro (4th, 1:04:19) and Cris Stilwell (5th, 1:04:36) were separated by just 17 seconds, though both faded on the back half — each dropping roughly 60+ spots in the women's field from the first mile to the finish.

Racing under a clear Central Valley sky at 74°F, Romelia Uribe controlled the F60-64 field from start to finish. She posted the 67th-fastest women's split on the closing segment and never relinquished her lead, crossing in 58:26 at a 9:24/mi clip. That sub-59 performance was a full 31 seconds clear of the field.

Karen Camoroda made it a genuine race at the front. After sitting 88th among women at the one-mile mark, she rallied hard over the final stretch — posting the 70th-fastest women's closing split — to finish 2nd in 58:57 and climb 13 places in the women's standings. It was a catch-up effort that nearly closed the gap to Uribe, but 31 seconds proved just enough cushion for the winner to hold on.

Janet Teixeira's late charge was the most dramatic move in the group. Sitting 160th among women at the mile mark, she unleashed the 91st-fastest women's closing split to rocket up to 104th, finishing 3rd in 1:00:55. Meanwhile, Sarro and Stilwell told the opposite story — both entered the final segment in the mid-80s among women and faded to the 149th and 153rd spots respectively, finishing 4th (1:04:19) and 5th (1:04:36) just 17 seconds apart.

The back half of the field spread wide, from Kelly Irwin's 6th-place 1:14:30 through Victoria Mitchell's 19th-place 1:57:36 — a reminder that on a warm November morning in Fresno, 19 women in their 60s showed up and got it done.
