Anna Vogtmann represented UC Irvine as a supported athlete with Pocari Sweat at the 2026 Tokyo Marathon.
Vogtmann completed her first marathon in 3:08:40. Prior to the race, Pocari Sweat USA brought Vogtmann to the Otsuka headquarters in Tokushima where she had a chance to learn about the origin of the company. She also participated in the Pocari Sweat Caring Tour that included marathon advice and a post-race recovery day.
Originating from Japan, Pocari Sweat is a gentle, light-tasting drink designed to replenish the water and ions you lose in sweat. With the tagline, when you’re properly hydrated, you perform better and feel more like yourself. Pocari Sweat brings the balance back.
Vogtmann was a decorated member of the UC Irvine cross country/track & field team from 2021-25. In cross country, she was a two-time All-Big West performer. As a senior, Vogtmann was the runner-up at the conference meet where she broke her own 6K school record with a time of 19:49.3.
On the track, the Folsom, California, native was a conference scorer all four years, including in 2025 when she finished seventh in her first career 10K to help the Anteaters win the program’s first Big West Women’s Track & Field Championship. She was also the 1500m runner-up as a freshman. Vogtmann ranks among UCI’s all-time top-10 in the 5K and 10K, as well as the indoor mile and 3K.
