KATELYN TUOHY 8:35.20 NCAA RECORD

If you compare their 3k trajectories in school, Monson dropped from a 9:14 season best/college PR in 2018 to 8:45 in 2019. So, it took Monson the same amount of time to get her 3k PR in college and make a big drop. They both ran slow times freshman year.

The following year Monson only ran the 3k once (8:53) and it was slower, but just one race.

before katelyn improved by 19 seconds from 8:54 to 8:35

she improved by 26 seconds from 9:20 to 8:54

so katelyn has been crazily improving

karissa congratulated katelyn for breaking her record ~

Everything is relative. Tuohy is competing in the NCAA’s while splitting her time getting a college diploma. She doesn’t do pro workouts, as has been pointed out, and her training is not at altitude. Her competition is a notch below elite levels, as has also been repeatedly pointed out here. Her joy comes from being a team member, rather than individual glory. Not everyone can relate but it’s part of her makeup. She’s never tasted International competition. If there ever has been any doubt, does anyone here really doubt, when the time comes, that she won’t be able to compete at the elite level?

It seems this should be revisited

That article was principally written to explain Mary Cain’s post HS career and unmet potential. Undoubtedly there where others as well, but the physical and psychological changes that adolescent women endure (as opposed to men) does seem to explain the cliff of many female HS phenoms. Many go through a breakdown of some part of their physiology and psychology. The filter that KT has walked through, by a combination of good decisions (eg college over pro) and family and friends, as well as her humility and level-headed outlook is paying off. She maintains a healthy diet, good friendships and an ecosystem of professional and non-professional support system that is a model for many who seek to follow in her footsteps.

Except for her 5,000. What did she run - 15:15? That was a bit disappointing. But who knows what she may have run with pacers and be able to have Morgan bring her along.

I think it was disappointing to her but she realized she was worn down and needed time off - that came out in the interview after the 3000.

I’m actually more impressed that Katelyn replied!

She said that in an interview at the time also. Charlie Hicks made the same point that winning NCAA crosscountry is emotionally draining as much as physical. You work all season to peak for that race, then you win it and life becomes a bit of a whirlwind for a few weeks.

Precisely! Additionally, she was doing ‘fun’ workouts with family that may have been lower levels of intensity. Add to that time with her boyfriend, who was showing mild signs of jealousy, mostly around how much attention she was getting…Life is more than running, lol.

From complete obscurity to running that fast. Crazy! Never heard of her before Millrose.

No. Absolutely. No.

and i never doubted katelyn, someone so driven as her will always, always end up achieving their goals, im not as driven as her, thats why shes my idol, and my inspiration!

must be new to distance running? 😅
