Both Tuohy and Valby ran great races. Valby was very consistant throughout, and great to see her try to push for the win.
Tuohy tucked in nicely though and didn't try to retake the lead right away. It was good racing from them both.
Announcer said Tuohy had lots left at the end...I didn't think so. She looked pretty spent. But she pulled it out, which was great for her. I believe this win will take a lot of pressure off of her and silence a lot of the trolls that have been on her for years. Well, except for the moron on this thread,
Starliper looked really good through most of the race, but didn't have the legs to finish...but great on her to get to the finals and show well. She will likely be a beast for NC State going forward.
Nichols really didn't look comfortable that whole race...maybe that was just me, but she looked a little off from the start.
Valby is going to keep getting better...very impressive year for her.
