Strong Start, Variable Pace Meaghan Ralph showcased an impressive start at the 2025 Las Vegas Marathon, with consistent sub-7:30 min/mile paces in the initial miles. Particularly noteworthy were her miles 8 and 9, where she achieved her fastest split times of 7:02 min/mile and 7:14 min/mile, respectively, illustrating her potential for speed over long distances.

Overall, her performance places her commendably across genders and division standings, highlighting her as a competitive runner.
