so given that, the recent FL time by Masciarelli is good but not really competitive with Tuohy I guess. 16:20 was also what Tuohy ran in NJ this year, right? So that course is comparable to VCP?
Sydney Masciarelli's race at VCP was exceptional, and she could certainly step up and become a real pain in the neck for Tuohy between now and the end of 2020.
But right now...no, she's not competitive with Tuohy.
I don't know enough about the NJ course to compare the two, but I know Bowdoin Park real well, and the VCP 5k tends to run about 10 seconds faster than Bowdoin, and I'm 100% convinced she's sub 16:30 at Bowdoin on a good day.
There's more to it than that, but that certainly plays into my 16:20 projection.
