In retrospect the switch to the Dr. Sanders reflected that her training times were indicating a potential record, but training times do not always translate to race results. But she sets realistic goals and she has generally been on schedule with record attempts. So cool that it worked so well.
Tuohy is super inspirational to me. I started following the sport during her senior year, and so many people said she wouldn't improve post-HS. Seeing her win NXN that year made me a big fan, and even though she had some setbacks, she's come back and just keeps resetting expectations. She won't improve after HS? She finishes as the top freshman in XC. She's done after not making NCAAs on the track? She comes 2nd indoors twice. She can't win a race? She runs 15:14 on her own, 4:06 on her own, then gets the 5000 title as a sophomore. Valby comes out of nowhere to crush everyone all season, and gaps her at nationals? She pulls out the craziest XC finish I've ever seen for the W. She can't break the NCAA mile record in her season opener? She crushes it.

Katelyn Tuohy is simply unstoppable.The Junior from Rockland North High School (NY) won first place at the NYS Section I championship this year, also taking ...
This is like a male collegiate running 3:57. It’s good but not elite
4:06/4:24 would mean top 3-5 women nationally in most countries, except US, UK, Kenya and Ethiopia. It's not enough nowadays with supershoes but would have been sufficient to qualify for the Rio Olympics only 7 years ago. (Then 19 yo Koko got to Rio with 4:06.9 and reached the semifinals.) So it's pretty close to elite.
katelyn said she havent done much speed work but when they did a 1200m time trial last week she was fast and thats why they did a late entry in the mile at dr sanders
