I expect her to win and break records. I used to think that she would only be a good NCAA runner but Semihaze has changed my mind due to all of her posts regarding Tuohy being the best of all-time and to never ever count her out. I now expect her to win ever race and set a record every time out. Than you Semihaze for setting the bar so high that she can not possibly reach it let alone get over it.
The same way she would never develop a kick or progress from high school or win an NCAA championship?
She’s still going to need the 2:00 speed and as always, there’s no such thing as developing a kick. She has done well since HS, but some of you are predicting she will make another significant improvement over just a few weeks.
406 leeding the race the whole way is like 404 in a well-paced race... There's not that much competition in the 1500 ,.. as basically there's two runners on another level and then there's another five runners who aren't even running it because they're running the 5K and the 10K so there's really two runners out of her league and then about five other runners within 2 seconds of her... Right now in the race the way it's shaping up she's probably about the 8th best runner at that distance and it all depend on how well she does if she does great she could be anywhere from 3 to 6 if she doesn't she could be anywhere from 12 to 20
I could have sworn all the keyboard experts on here insisted she would never have a kick and that she did not have good 1500 speed. Just a few months back in fact. But OK. And who is honestly predicting anything? I predict she runs at the US Championship. :)
I doubt she’ll ever have the 2:00 800m speed it would take to make a WC or Olympic team.
With two years of serious training if it was a priority she could get down to 159/359
I think she can then take that down to a lifetime PR around 354
But because she'll be more focused on the 5K probably a lifetime PR around 3:55... She'll be top 6 at the trials
Come on. She is not a middle distance runner and obtaining your 1500m prediction would take a significant increase in top-end speed which is impossible to accomplish. Her future is somewhere between being a 1500/5000 and 5/10 runner.

I think the first round will likely be a slower paced heat and will come down to who can finish the fastest. I can count a lot of ladies in the field that could likely prevail vs Tuohy in that type of race. Making the final might be tough unless she decides to drive the pace early on, which means a repeat of the ACC championship.
Dude you're prescribing to this very outdated myth that speed cannot be developed which is 100% wrong!!! Anything can be developed to a certain degree!!! Yes we all have natural capacities but they can be greatly enhanced with the right training!!! She has never trained for speed and that's the only reason she's never shown that she's very fast
She actually naturally is very good from the 1K up... She ran a 247 1K in 9th grade with almost no speed training! If she trained for the 800 specifically I think she could run 201 minutes in a year from now and then take that down by a second or two a year to probably a lifetime PR around 1:57
She outkicked Michaela Meyer in a race this year and Michaela Meyer is a 159 800 m runner with excellent kick... It's only because she's always trained to be a distance runner that she doesn't have great speed...
If she trained for the 800 specifically I think she could run 201 minutes in a year from now and then take that down by a second or two a year to probably a lifetime PR around 1:57
Tuohy run an 800 in 1:57? Have you lost your mind?

When did she run a 4:00? I do agree with your prediction about her running at the championships.

FWIW - A 1:57 PR would make her #7 all-time in the US, and 1:56.80 would make her #4 all-time in the US.
She just took her $1500 PR down 6 seconds in less than a year! She will break 2 minutes and that is without focusing on the event at some point in her career
I was merely musing on what she could do if she dedicated her whole track career to that event
Anyway you Jokers love putting limits on her based on your negativity! She will run amazing times in the 1500 and 5K in her career and show you nimrods what you know!
This is goalpost moving. Look up the top college times of the pro 1500 runners considered the favorites to make the US team, or the 1500 runners who represented the US at the Olympics in 2021. When did they run 4:00 in college? Heck when did they run below 2:03 in the 800? Never. KT's times compare quite favorably. As to the future, as always, who knows?
