The outcome of a challenging mountain running competition held in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, provides valuable data for athletes, coaches, and enthusiasts. This data typically includes finishing times, rankings for various categories (often including age and gender), and potentially additional information such as split times at checkpoints along the course. A concrete example would be the official listing showing the top three finishers in the men’s 20-29 age group for the 52k distance.
Access to this competitive information offers numerous benefits. Athletes can track their performance progress over time, compare themselves to others in their category, and identify areas for improvement. Coaches can utilize the data to refine training plans and strategize for future races. For race organizers, the results validate the event’s success and provide insights for future planning. Historically, the collection and dissemination of race results have evolved from handwritten lists posted at the finish line to sophisticated online databases offering real-time updates and comprehensive statistical analysis. This evolution reflects the growing importance of data in competitive sports.
