2022 Penn Relays - Official Discussion Thread

I guess I need to show you the math. The splits you posted show Tuohy 0.9 seconds faster than Gear. Gear finished 1.3 seconds ahead of Tuohy. 1.3 + 0.9 = 2.2 must have been the gap at the start of their legs. The last gap we can see between Shaw and Gregory was also just about 2 seconds. Watch the video yourself. That is 3 independent measures that say 2 seconds (including the person in the stands). Just accept it.

Agreed. KT ran the fastest split in the entire field. I thought she ran a great race as did the whole NC State relay team and of course the champions, Arkansas. Both teams laid it all out there. I believe all the runners for Arkansas are seniors (hard to tell with all this Covid year stuff) so no shame in losing to such a strong and experienced group of athletes. Next year, who knows? Sam Bush ran a great split as well, need to get her qualified in the 1500 for Regionals. Let Tuohy concentrate on 5K - her improving speed makes her ever more dangerous in that event and might be able to give NC state another National championship in that event.

OK haha

Yes she (Bush) did - somewhere 4:11 - 4:12 depending who you believe. That's the sort of time you would expect from a 2:04 / 8:54 person. But ACC is only thing left on schedule and it looks like she will need to run 4:17 to qualify. The plan no doubt was to get that time in VA, but it didn't work out.

thanks coz i really didnt do the math

The diff between nc state and arkansas is that, Arkansas went to Penn relays confidently believing they could break the record and win, while nc state girls said "they were thinking breaking 17 would be awesome", Arkansas simply wanted it more, and believed that they could win it and plus they have more experience in relays

AND pls let's not let the 2nd place finish overshadow the fact that NC state ran a phenomenal race and also shattered the record

Now abt tuohy, It's just crazy to think that the fastest 1500m runner this year is a 5000m runner. I've always thought that katelyn is built like elle purrier, miler speed.

Crayz how people said tuohy would never break 4:10 in college... And here we are

I finally found the answer to my question.

Allison Johnson was listed for a while as being on the winning Penn State 4x800, but it turns that that she didn't run and she has now been replaced by the correct runner whose name is Maddie Ullom.

USTFCCCA have listed the following splits:

The Arkansas foursome was comprised of Isabel Van Camp (4:16.8), Logan Jolly (4:13.9), Lauren Gregory (4:12.9) and Krissy Gear (4:10.7), while the NC State lineup was Anna Vess (4:17.4), Samantha Bush (4:10.9), Savannah Shaw (4:17.1) and Katelyn Tuohy (4:09.8).

(ok im not dizzy from studying for my finals anymore, so let's calculate the splits)

Official Time:

NC State: 16:55.19
Arkansas: 16:53.87

(4:17.4) (4:10.9) (4:17.1) (4:09.8) tuohy's un-rounded split was 4:09.799999

(4:16.8) (4:13.9) (4:12.9) (4:10.7)

after 3 legs + achor's split :

NC STATE:12:45.4+4:09.79 = 16:55.1899999 (CORRECT)

ARKANSAS: 12:43.6+4:10.7= 16:54.3 (WRONG)

something is off with arkansas' splits from ustfccca:

gear's time should be 4:10.27 and not 4:10.7 to come up with 16:53.87

ARKANSAS: 12:43.6+4:10.27= 16:53.87 (CORRECT)

Your assumption is that the only split that could be wrong is that of the anchor; clearly a questionable position. Go back to studying for finals.

its the easier one to compute lol ... and yea my exam closes in 6 hours ..

no DQ for Providence in 4xmile at ~15:50?

and the W 4x1500 is posted on YT.

Finally.

Mick Byrne shared a video clip on Twitter of a closeup of Wisco fall. It doesn't look like Providence impeded him, but maybe Penn?

Another angle via Flotrack, although the cameraman lined up poorly...

I just looked at it again in slow motion and as everybody started moving going into the turn Wisconsin jumped outside (I had assumed they were pushed by Providence) and then tangled legs with UNC. At 15:53 providence had gotten himself between Villanova and Penn with Wisconsin behind Penn. UNC was to the outside of Wisconsin.

I read somewhere that the reason Wisco may have jumped outside was to avoid getting hit by Providence as the Providence runner tried to wedge between Wisco and Penn on that turn...

Mulhern ran the 10 mile Broad Street Run in 54:14 less than 48 hours after running the 5K at Penn Relays:
