Parker Valby is the most talented girl in the country

PV will dominate KT by even more than she did at Nuttycombe. It should have been an epic dual, but KT is regressing.

Interesting

The title of this thread 👎

I’m pretty sure that Parker Valby is a woman, not a “girl.”

I just wanted to come back and say I told you so to everyone.

Valbymania!

You were correct.

This post was spot on.

And technically just a guess. 5050 chance of getting it right.

No it wasn't 50/50 because we know the outcome. He was 100% correct.

Is she going pro after the NCAA Championship?

As good as Valby is, Wiley is even better

True. But Tuohy is a generational talent even though she is worse than both of them. How is that possible? Is a generation a month?

Tell us you don’t understand the sport without telling us you don’t understand the sport.

Why is Wiley being compared to Valby? 800 & 1500, Wiley wins. Anything 3000 and up, Valby easily wins.

He understands perfectly. We can compare people from differnet events. Ever hear about the Bowerman award? Distance runners are compared to sprinters and throwers.

You mean “YOU” understand perfectly.

Valby will be the one with a much better career over the long run.

100% agree. You would see the title "Eluid Kipchoge is the best boy in the world"

What I've learned from reading 40 pages of comments:

There are loads of uninformed comments here but here are a few current facts.

Tuohy is not faster than Valby and it's not close.

Tuohy is in a rut (or regressing) and Valby is still improving.

Valby is not built like a pro runner (compare her alongside Elle St. Pierre and Elise Cranny)

Valby's style makes others run faster or get broken. Training for a strategic lay back and kick approach for the vast majority will get you nothing but also ran status.

Valby's style is a lot like Prefontaine and great fun to watch even if it doesn't work out (although she did run a PB)
