I remember using this excuse when I did badly. it's a common one. sure, it's just a workout. but if it was just a workout, she shouldn't have sucked so bad at it.
your choice of words reveals your bias. Tuohy "sucked so badly" running faster than she did the year before and beating 3rd by 23 seconds. I guess the rest of the field were just terrible

It's a race, not a time trial. Her times the year before are irrelevant.

it is a race, and she beat all but one by a lot. If that is "sucked bad" then someone has high standards....and all those she beat should just quit.
You're up, you're down, you're injured, you're sick, you're back up, you're not sleeping, you're not eating right, you're drinking too much, you've got too much homework, you never recovered from track...
it's a grind. Parker Valby knows this. She's suffered injury after injury and has had to make all sorts of adjustments to her training over the years. Major respect for her to still remain one of the best to do it after all of her setbacks.
I don't think it's fair to expect a college runner to maintain and retain any sort of dominance year after year. The ones who do it are major exceptions and big ups to them. Katelyn was a high school phenom who was one of the few (if any) to ascend to the top of the NCAA ranks. That's something incredibly special.
The Tuohy-Valby rivalry has been a lot of fun. NCAA XC last year was by far one of the best NCAA finals I've seen between the two of them. Whatever happens, this dual will certainly be one to remember.
Did touhy give any interview after the race? I watched it and she looked to be beaten fair & square in crappy conditions. Looks like valby beens able to stay healthy & put together a solid training block this summer.

Yes she did. Makes things interesting. Tuohy is the underdog now?

Tuohy didn't break training for this race, just another workout. Only one race matters, NCAAs
Seriously?
Yes, seriously. All you have to do is look at each of the athlete's best times over 3000m and 5000m and you can conclude that either Tuohy "trained through." had a bad day or that Valby is ready for a leap forward in her track times. Like I said the only cross country race that matters is NCAAs
I seriously doubt this year’s race would have been near as fast if Valby had not been there. It likely would have played out similar to last year’s race.
