Amina Maatoug Will Have a BETTER Running Career Than Katelyn Tuohy

Oh joy. Yet another candidate in the better than Tuohy sweepstakes.

Candidate? There are many women better than Tuohy.

Why can you not celebrate anyone but KT? You accused PV of being on PEDs last fall. Let us celebrate these other runners too. Why do you feel the need to denigrate everyone else?

and here's your other backhanded compliment to Tuohy. You're actually saying she isn't smart because running is just a waste of time. Her academic carreer has been stellar throughout high school and college.

Meanwhile, you try to pass yourself off as a reasonble and intelligent individual. You're a joke

This is where KT fanatics such as you appear to be mentally ill. I never said a word about the intelligence of KT. She seems to be a reasonably well spoken individual who has more class in her thumb than most of her fans like you. Just because AM is smart does not mean that KT is stupid. Please try to be more reasonable.

It started with Claudia Lane when she was a high school sophomore and a new candidate emerged every season.

Who says that? But why is it that it is never "so and so is awesome" but instead always involves a comparison to Tuohy? LOLL. Look at the name of this thread.

Are other runners worthy of some attention? Is there a violation for you when others get some praise? What is your investment in KT? Many of us appreciate KT but we can recognize others too.

LOLL. Now you are being intentionally obtuse. "I will start a thread mentioning Tuohy and then feign surprise that people object to my comparison." Trolling. Later.

This is a testament to how KT has become the current reference point for greatness in female college distance running. KT is the standard bearer and others are naturally compared to her. It is a compliment to KT. Not sure why you are your fellow fanatics are offended by it. Let us celebrate others too. Is this permitted?

Same here. I pointed out her own words, and she acts like they don't apply.

You are too invested in KT, just like Astro. What is this about? Why the obsession? It is not healthy. Maybe look into seeing a psychiatrist or a priest or whatever it is that could provide some help with this mental malady you have.

They won't admit that many Americans are better than Tuohy. They say that Tuohy is younger. But younger runners who are faster than Tuohy at that age are then compared to current day older Tuohy. Yes Tuohy is great but ther eare faster runners like Schweizer and the are faster younger ones like Cook. There are more talented ones like Wiley and Maatoug who don't train as hard.

Give me a f****** break. You are the one who made the comparison to begin with so if you don’t want to be called out, then just keep KT’s name out of your post.

There is a new one every season, just as sure as death and taxes. So many have fallen by the wayside though, it’s almost like a curse in a way.

I will discuss KT whenever and wherever I want to. Why so thin skinned? AM is the bigger talent. Let us celebrate both. Relax and take a chill pill.

Nothing against AM and the other runners, I am a fan of many of them and wish them all well, but be honest with yourself, who is winning the all the championships and setting the records right now? Settle back down under your bridge and think this through a bit more.

Yes there is no debate about who is the dominant female distance runner in the NCAA currently. I am surprised you think this is even a question. How could you be confused by this?

That is the point.....it seems like a backhanded way to put down Tuohy yet they apparently think of Tuohy as the "standard" to whom the next talent must be compared. Agree...just say Amina, or Margot, or Mia, or whoever has a bright future.
