This is sheer ignorance, Jenny Barringer Simpson record of 15:01 is not official since it was done on a modified track. It's like kipchoge under 2h00 marathon. Her official record is 15:07, so yes Tuohy broke it.
I’m not familiar with Galvan but Henes seems to be more of a 5k/10k type of runner with a lot of strength. She recently ran a huge 10k PR. Tuohy is a 1500/5k runner. Tuohy has a faster mile PR by several seconds and a slightly faster 3k PR than Henes. That may explain this.
Henes (who I’m a big fan of - absolutely not trying to disrespect in any way) also has the advantage of being a full time pro athlete not a student-athlete and the advantage of training at altitude. Maybe they will be teammates in Flagstaff in the future.
Yeah, they’ve become friends. I’m pretty sure when Tuohy makes her decision that will play heavily into that. Friends w/ Henes, in Flagstaff, staying with Adidas.
In the meantime, I’m REALLY hoping she stays in college, keeps developing, breaking records, etc. (she can always do meets like these for higher-level competition).
They were in the same team in NC State, and Henes mum is KT's Coach, it's not like they didn't know each other. They are friends, Tuohy is probably closer to Hannah Steelman and so is Elly, Hannah is also in Flagstaff with the On team i think. So another reason to go there.
Tuohy’s done. She obviously wanted to go sub 15 and had nothing. Gave all these excuses post race. Must be in denial. Sad her career is already starting to end

Its not sheer ignorance, its denial😂
they dont want to accept the fact that
jenny simpson doesnt hold the 5000m record and fun fact she was 23 years old when she ran 15:01 in 2009 in a modified/ oversized track
tuohy is 21 and now running 4:23 1600m, 4:24 mile, 8:35 3000m and 15:03 5000m all of which are faster than what jenny simpson ran when she was 21
also i dont think it will take katelyn tuohy till 23 years old to break the 15 minute barrier nor the 4 minute barrier so yea hope the naysayers can move past denial stage

😂😂 imagine running 15:03 despite having bad weeks of training going into it due to school work
id be scared once she graduates and actually focuses on running only
Yes, she his her next NCAA record, called U23 record in every other normal country without guns on streets and in schools, a record that is not recognized by World Athletics...
So she is not ready or talented enough to compete with the big girls already but she has her, no one cares about, "NCAA records"
One person that few people are talking about is Emily McKay. She came out of the far less well known program at Binghamton University and nearly dropped 30 seconds PR from 15:42 to 15:14 taking 3rd in the B race. She also ran 4:26 mile and 4:08 1500 indoors which is close to KT's so another one to challenge for a spot at worlds if progress continues.

tuohy dominated in middle school, high school and now in college, whats the next level to dominate on?
id be scared once she graduates and actually focuses on running only…
…and lives at altitude
It’s funny how there are clown trolls here hinting that her performance was suboptimal yet she has exceeded just about every single professional from the United States that proceeded her.

Haters gonna hate.
To those that aren’t bright enough to figure out what I wrote, when just about every professional in the United States was not at Tuohy’s level prior to when they turned professional.

Tuohy just set her mark on a 400 meter track. 400 > 300. Easier.
Tuohy's mark does not count for the NCAA qualifier list. So it is definitely not an "official" NCAA mark.
The USTFCCCA list will add it but it says right at the top of the list "UNOFFICIAL Top 25 Performers and Performances." And they keep separate lists for indoors and outdoors. They don't include the 15:01 on the indoor list. That doesn't mean it should be be excluded from an overall list. That would be stupid.
Track and Field News has it right per usual. 15:01.70 is the record.

Jenny Simpson ran 15:01 at age 23 years old. Miss Tuohy just turned 21 and just ran 15:03 after having bad weeks of training and has 2 years left of college eligibility and I would like to add how she earns more than the average American pro distance runner.
Tuohy broke her fourth NCAA record of the year and were not even half way in 2023. She's just starting apparently.
You do know that Abdi ran at the same meet last year and broke the NCAA record there? The official record. Keep denying and making yourself look like a clown tho.
NC State's Katelyn Tuohy continues to rewrite the NCAA history books and takes down Jenny Simpson’s outdoor 5000m record from from May 2009FOLLOW CITIUS MAG▶...
