Tuohy wasn't accepted anywhere besides NC State. I guess that a school like Michigan may have bent the rules enough to get her accepted but she isn't a football or BB player so it is unlikely. That NC State business degree won't help her much after she retires next year.

She peaked in March; no race selection at the NCAA meet would've changed the disappointing outcome.
Thankfully they scratched her 5000m, just a lot of trips to the well, more would've meant going from coaching error to human rights violation.
She does have a future in the 10,000 but not on a 95 degree day.
March peak? - she only ran 2 races in entire month of March, the 5 and 3 at NCAA indoor. She won both pretty comfortably and you can't read much into slow times due altitude.
From April 15 to May 15, she competed in 4 races, of which only 2 were hard efforts. 4:08/15:03. The other 2 were 15:50 / 32:56 tempo runs.
NCAA East - 4:14 4:14 15:30 nothing too hard, but the 5k was a bit of overkill.
NCAA - 4:09 4:11
Well efforts? For me it's only the 15:03 and the 2 NCAA 1500s.
This really is not a lot of racing in 4 months. If she's burned out, it's from over training, not over racing.
