Will Katelyn Tuohy race the Olympic trials or not?

6 months away from racing is an interesting amount of time.

She hasn’t raced since the NCAA Cross Country Championships late last year.

This is beyond dumb—correlation without causation. What else coincides with entering the testing pool?—going pro. What might a relatively lightly trained athlete do upon going pro? Train a lot more. And what often happens when lightly trained athletes train a lot more? Yes, genius, they get injured.

I see "Tuohy is watching" appears not to have the integrity to answer the question. I am shocked!! Some may not like what Astro posts, but he (I assume he) does not back away from defending his posts.

There is nothing notable about his claiming everyone (but his favorite) is doping in the sport, nor are meaningless claims that that so-and-so wasn’t doping as a teenager.

What is notable is a pro athlete shilling products that fall under the ‘magic-in-bottle-while-safe’ illusion.

Except I don't. Among college distance runners I have questioned two athletes bc there were facts that raised bona fide questions. And I defend my opinions bc I am not reckless in expressing my opinion and I have valid reasons for suspicions. Must have missed where I ever said that Morgan, or Wayment, or Roe, or Ramsden, or Chelangat etc were doping. I tend to get flack bc I am over a valid target. Meanwhile, your statements about Katelyn are toothless.

This is going to be awesome!

Don't count her out! I am excited. Was it Adam Goucher or Ritz who was injured and missed a lot of time and returned to win NCAAs x-country with minimal training?

That's why it was refreshing to see the Sweat Elite training video of Hobbs Kessler and Bryce Hoppel slamming Rice Krispie treats for their post workout nutrition, because a little bit of carbs and sugar is quite literally all you need! No special supplement or drink. Rice Krispie treats!

Astro has posted that high school runners are doping. He said that there is great incentive to do so for scholarships and NIL deals. I wouldn't have thought that people like Tuohy would have done things like that in high school, but Astro claims otherwise.

Team or not, she’ll do great.

I’m hoping Olympic Qualifying time (just in case)… ‘cause if she “IS” top-3, without the qualifying time, she’s not going.

So, this race HAS to be fast.

I agree. You are finally making sense.

Abbey Cooper did that in the semifinal at the 2021 Trials, and it left her a little too wiped for the final. Cranny won in 2021 with 15:27, but Molly Huddle did win in 15:05 in 2016.

She would have til June 30 to hit the standard, or raise her world ranking. Tôp 3 at trials, plus another 15:00ish might even do it.

Unlikely, but not impossible.

What World Ranking? She literally doesn't have one because she hasn't raced. She is going to have to hit the standard or nothing.

I might be wrong but she has one mark, so Trials plus another would make three. Unlikely to be good enough, but >0% chance, no?

I think she’s just going to have to hit the standard at the trials. (Particularly, being injured and coming off that, I’m sure the “less” racing, the better?).
