Starliper isn't there either with the NC ladies up in Colorado according to the film... Nor is Chmiel... So not sure what the big deal about Tuohy not being there is.

Starliper was there, apparently not for the run that was shown. But you are right about Chmiel, and also Jenna Shultz. Tuohy was supposed to go down the NC around Aug 1 and expected to be running before that.

Guys what the hell starliper was there. So was Kelsey chmiel

They were both interviewed in the video.

It looks like she probably did have some sort of surgery.

The original poster knew that they were training out in Boulder Colorado. And a bunch of people on YouTube commented that she had surgery

I mean it could just be a rumor but it wouldn't be totally unbelievable because why else would she not be there

And how would you get an injury when you're not competing and had a schedule to look forward to with the college, with prepping for the college season

Any more news on exactly what kind of surgery she had

You described it as a major knee surgery but probably not in the common sense that major knee surgery usually means when you have a major injury like an ACL tear or some other ligament tear

I doubt she had anything like that but probably a repetitive wear and tear thing like tendonitis

I'm sure she was probably referring to a surgeon by the school and I'm sure he felt like the surgery could really make a difference

I have no idea specifically how Runners do with knee surgeries

I do know for the general population who has nagging type stuff that surgeries are no better than Placebo fake surgeries in dealing with nagging pains

They have actually done studies where they give some people real surgery and give another group a placebo dummy surgery where they don't do anything but make a stitch and they find that actually the dummy Placebo surgeries people do better

These are of course in cases where it's just a nagging discomfort type experience not an actual clear structural saying like an ACL tear

Obviously if you have a major structural injury you have to have it repaired properly such as meniscus or ACL tears

Anyway it'll be interesting to see what happens hopefully she can be injury-free and not have that constant need to take time off

Just people repeating rumors, likely from here. The original poster said it was "major surgery" and that it you could see evidence of it in graduation photos, which you can't. And would she have had it? Elective surgeries were prohibited in NY in mid March and restarted in selective counties in May with a huge backlog . And in her interview from early July she does not mention anything.

Anything is possible, but people are also quite gullible.

Schulz was there.

Either way it kind of sucks that she's the only girl that couldn't make it to the training

It's certainly possible she had surgery because she mentioned an injury and didn't say what she did to treat it so it's possible

Honestly I think it's probably more likely that she did have surgery.

Either she had what she's had in the past and it's just taking time off

Or she had a freak accident and injured herself that way

Or she had what she had in the past and decided to have surgery

I really doubt it was a freak accident because she probably would have just said that

And it's kind of strange that she couldn't make it on this trip when she's had the last four months off from everything

So it's kind of more likely that she got frustrated with constantly having this nagging recurring injury and decided to get surgery

Also it's quite possible that they could do a procedure like this at a doctor's office especially if it's a high-tech arthroscopic procedure. She might have went to a special Center rather than a hospital so the whole covid thing might not have did not much of a factor in scheduling

Anyway my money's on that she had some sort of surgery to deal with tendonitis

Very potentially her career is going to come down to if XC happens or not. If it does and she’s in the shape it seems like she will be in, not sure she will be able to handle running the pedestrian times she’s running and might push too hard and start the injury cycle. On the other hand, if XC is doesn’t happen then she maybe has a while to healthily build back up with no pressure of performance.

Just because she(more like her parents) didn't pay over $1000 to go train in boulder for a month doesn't mean anything. Especially with the fact we're in the middle of a pandemic, I doubt the coaches were even that supportive of the trip and some people are actually complying with staying at home. I don't think Katelyn ever went to Nike Elite camp all those years and I don't think she had surgery then. Don't know why everyone is more invested in an 18 year old's life than their own and if it was you business or such a big deal she probably would have said something so you wouldn't be so critical of her. I bet a bunch a people know about whether something happened or not but are decent enough to keep it off the internet and let her deal with it on her own.

Knee surgery at her age is terrible. Honestly she should retire and do something else instead of ruining her body.

Whether you like it or not, the number 1 incoming freshman in the nation getting knee surgery is a very newsworthy event. If she's healthy her team would be the favorite to win the national championship.

It's ignorant to imply we should mind our own business, we are fans of the sport and this is part of the discussion of who is going to win the championship.

For the record, her parents have more than enough money to afford the trip, they live in an extremely wealthy area. Not to mention she's likely on a full ride to college.

There is not a single shred of evidence that any surgery ever happened. Not any. There was a rumor started on this board that people have repeated as if it were fact. She gave an interview in July saying she is going down to school in August. That's it. Unless someone has actual facts or evidence mindless repeating a rumor is silly.

I find her to be extremely secretive whether it involves some sort of injury or even her training. Outdoor season junior year she opted to not run New Balance Nationals . Her coach said she was fatigued , however I heard from a good friend of hers that said she was injured . Also, regarding her training ... does anyone really know what she does ? How many miles she really runs on her own?
