Collegiate #2 behind Simpson's 15:01.70, was on pace until about 4200 meters then fell apart on the penultimate lap. I think she missed her chance at the record now since the temperatures will be rising. Only legitimate shot she has is at USATFs.
Nice PR for Tuohy but surprised she didn't hang in the last 800m. Thought she had sub 15 in the bag until that 75 penultimate lap
It's hard work, even for her.
As for Andrews, it's starting to look like Ritzenhein knows what he's doing, up and down the lineup.
No doubt. There's a lot of hype which makes Tuohy seem superhuman. She's doing fantastic but the pros are still at another level. I'm sure she'll make the transition when it's time. Great to see people performing well at all levels. What a great meet so far! Can't wait to see what Teare does in this next race.
Tuohy has the official outdoor record now. Prior was Simpson in 15:07. Simpsons 15:01 was indoor on an oversized track so it didn't count as an official record. But yeah, #2 time all-time, all things considered.
COLLEGIATE RECORD
Katelyn Tuohy of @Wolfpack_TFXC breaks the collegiate record in the 5000 with a time of 15:03.12 in the @sound_running Track Fest.
Tuohy’s time betters the 15:07.64 CR set by Jenny Barringer of @CUBuffsTrack in 2009.
Crud video coverage on tracklandia for non winners
Yeah, I generally like what Tracklandia does, but some questionable calls on the coverage. If you've got two cameras available, then your 5k coverage in the earlier race needs to be on 1) leader, and 2) Burns because everyone and their cousin knows he's going for the HS record. We didn't really see Burns. And in the women's 5k, the cameras need to be on 1) leader, and b) Tuohy because everyone and their cousin knows she's going for the collegiate record. We saw Touhy a little because she was almost in frame, but certainly not a focus. I don't care about the faraway second pack there, or whatever that second camera was doing, over the KT aspect.
