last year's 5000m race at virginia challenge was paced by elly henes

i think bush will pace it this year, her time should be already a safe time for regionals right..

steelman is also entered, which means she will try to get a faster time and get aa "safe" time

shaw is entered in both 1500m and 5000m but she will surely not run 5000m because she has 2 races at penn relays... i hope she runs a faster than a 4:20 ..ugh

I’m a little surprised they wouldn’t have Tuohy on both the DMR and 4 x 1500 and anchoring in both cases given she is NC State’s best 1500 runner by quite a bit. I guess just trying to keep her workload lighter to be ready for the more important meets ahead?

Not the brightest coach at NC State.

my 2 cents is she knows the dmr even with Tuohy probably cannot win, so she takes a shot at the 4x1500 keeping her fresh for that. Though with the whole Arkansas team fresh that might also be tough. Also limits the races for her best runner to hopefully help her out at year end (as you point out). maybe only worth 1 cent.

the group was disappointed in ncaas .. i dont think they would let tuohy in ... i mean coach henes said that many girls wants to be in it and of course, one of them is katelyn.. katelyn was part of that dmr team last year, and yes she is their best 1500m runner and best anchor.. but then again the dmr squad has unfinished business from ncaa's

compared to the other top distance running program, nc state has never really chased meets in outdoors.. they just get qualifying times and run accs then regionals

last year, they haven't ran much and their schedule this year is even more loaded than of last year

actually, i dont think coach laurie henes has full control because why would she take a shot at 4x1500 with 2 runners doubling from the dmr ??? the freaking dmr title that they have no chance of winning.. just so the dmr squad could feel better from their DQ.

idk who's deciding these kinds of stuff but its such a dumb decision.. why even waste tuohy's energy if two athletes will not be able to give 100%

the 4x1500 has an even loaded competition than the dmr and they have the fastest 1500m runner in the nation which is expected to run sub 4:10 and you make her run with runners who ran the day before.. for what? the chances of them winning just got slimmer than it already is

🙄

correction, all three runners bush, shaw and vess are doubling ... only tuohy is fresh

tuohy should have entered in the individual 1500m

It is just a fun event for the team to participate in. If Chmiel was healthy I would have given them a fighting chance in the 4X1500.

You are always second guessing the coach. Have faith in the process.

^ This you?

I think Tuohy is the second fastest in the nation……BYU has the fastest! NC state cannot win either without Chmiel and a back to form Starliper. Watch out next year if Tuohy, Chmiel, Starliper, and Bush are all healthy and in shape…… they would blow away the field in the 4x1500 and set the American record in the event.

didn't you dissed coach henes before?

you mean the girl on her seventh playing year courtney wayment from byu ? yea shes in second

...what?

their number of meets this season is more than last year

finial entries for tomorrow is out! marlee starliper will run her first 5000m, hannah steelman will run again for a faster 5000m time, giona quarzo and mariah howlett also in the mix, savannah shaw and bush are also entered but they will be running 1500m

Starliper has pacing duties. Probably won’t finish
