I'm super excited to scroll through letsrun with a bowl of popcorn after nationals. The fans of whoever loses between the 2 will have a total meltdown, while the fans of the winner will be so full of themselves with their "I told you so"
The headline should not be (Valby or Tuohy) goes home devestated but rather the fans of (Valby or Tuohy) go home devestated.
Yeah but we've seen all this hyperbole time and time again and it gets a little annoying...
Dudek, Brynn Brown, Ewert, Hutchins... We had to endure all those predictions that they would be the greatest ever... It would be nice if the valby fanatic would at least admit after she finishes second that he is literally high on fairy tales...
I mean it's fun to get all jazzed up and dream of aliens and Bigfoot and loch Ness monster and ghosts and goblins but at some point it's also good to have some sense of reality...
This is an impossible scenario. You know if Valby wins, she will definitely have more scrutiny right? One winning means everyone else losing. People will always raise suspicions on a winner, no matter it is Tuohy or Valby. Has nothing to do with animal cruelty toward a gator.
Vakby is. She ran faster than Tuohy at Nuttycombe and Tuihy almost broke 15. Are you saying that Tuohy is slower than last year? I guess that could be the situation.
Valby PB 1520 2y ago, 1525 last year, now it's 1440? Really? That's not happening.
You're saying she was able to run 15:20 2 years ago and didn't improve at all last year and actually ran 5 seconds slower
But now she's suddenly going to improve by 40 seconds...
And meanwhile all of last year you ranted and raved how she was going to set all sorts of records and was going to be the best ever and she ended up coming in second in cross country
And then she ended up losing to 2e at regionals after 2e had run 1,500 right before the race..
I mean she's a very good runner I'm just saying you're completely delusional with your idea of how fast she actually is... no one's running 1440...
I was at the NCAAs last year and this has nothing to do with what will happen this year but I was speaking with my daughter on the phone as Valby passed me at around 3.5K and she was amazed at how she was attacking the course. Right then Touhy passed me about 12 secs down at that point and I think it was right about when she attacked and the look in her eyes I said right then to her there is no way this girl is going to lose this race... Call it whatever you want but on that day Touhy was a hunter and you could see it. I hope to see that fire as well this year and hope that there are a few that can also make that leap. The only thing that is almost for sure is that Valby will play the role of the hunted I have not seen her run any other way.
KT has b33n conscipus with her training to peak for 3 ncaa meets l/3 sports. Valby missed indoors last year but she was nit pushing g full throttle and more reluctant in her training for preservation. Three sxna in ncaa is ridiculous, it should be be allowed and th3n another outdoor szm after that. Shouldn't be allowed to run athletes ragged like that. Ncaa system is difficult for a distance runner.
