Can Katelyn Tuohy achieve sub 15 at Boston Season Opener ?

Lancer timing, but they did not post live splits afaik

She ran D3 prior to this year i believe, was 30th at xc nationals.

9th fastest indoor collegian ever (officially) is pretty darn good. Long season and still closed out solidly.

Oh thank you! She wasn’t even on my radar. Great performance by her!

Chmiel’s time just BARELY off her personal best was solid.

15:15 ! ! ! !

still pretty good time! broke the school record for like 13 seconds! time for a well deserve break for the champ!!!!

SHEESH that 3000m championship race is going to have more title contenders than the 5000m

roe, mccabe, markezich, tuohy, valby + more

Yep. That was a huge effort at Nationals and the legs will not recover in two weeks. 15:15 is nonetheless a good time. Now just has to rest for a solid few weeks.

i just checked nc state's schedule and they will be running camel city invite on feb 4 and it has an ELITE MILE event there!

Im still on my "please let katelyn tuohy run a mile" agenda

Dang alabama has a new alpha

Here is the live results with 200m splits

I get wanting to get one more race off of good fitness, but it's like...slightly crazy to pivot to indoors this fast...

The 3000m was a great race.

Henes and NCSt are conservative about the times they mention so my guess is Tuohy's workouts were showing low 15s which her NCAA championship win indicated but that is counterbalanced by the fatigue factor and reaching the point in a season where you start to get diminished returns. Everything with Katelyn is resting her so that she does not have tired legs.

the boston race? they have always done that, they did last year, idk in the prev years

its to recycle the xc fitness(sometimes advantage and sometimes disadvantage) they want to see where their speed is at on track and work from there (after a break)

last year was a really longggggg break for her, im guessing next year, she will race early like sam and kelsey did ??? right.. coz shes healthy now

Agreed but it is strategic. Indoor has an odd qualifying process and this process is directly affected by the presence of certain fast courses. The runners for Nationals will typically qualify off of a select number of tracks, Boston, UW and I think Arkansas. So you get the qualifying times out of the way on the Boston track than shut it down until January. It was asking too much to run an indoor sub-15:10 after the effort at nationals, but qualifying is set.

The coaches obvious know what they are doing but If we don't see her in a race again until mid February that would be fine with me.

Interesting (again) how some runners do so much better on Track than XC and vice versa. Sydney Seymour 15:35.6 barely behind Stearns of NAU and beating Larkin of NM and Dudek of Stanford.

Was thinking with the NCAA Indoors in Albaquerque (5,000 ft), does Tuohy even run the 5,000 there? Big advantage to NM, NAU, CO runners.

i guess sydney dont like the hills
