Now THIS would be interesting. Just a scenario thought, but:
Imagine if just a few minutes ago on the sideline a conversation such as this just happened:
”Tuohy’s 4:08 shows that if she can get just about 10 or 15 minutes more rest, then she can break the NCAA record in the 5000m. Tonight.”
So they gave her the rest and that’s why Heat #2 went first.
Hmmm…
I think I need some of those rose colored sunglasses! She was on fumes finishing that 1500.
Well, there has to be some reason that Heat #2 went before Heat #1. (Like, seriously, I’ve never known that to happen). That’d be AWESOME if the reason is what I was thinking!
People have been saying that for years and she always proves them wrong. 4:08 for her first race outdoor is solid, being 2 seconds behind Koko a WORLD CLASS athlete in your season debut is nothing to worry about.
She has a NIL with a shoe company so she basically is already "pro" while still competing for her college team. She gets benefits pro runners (solid salary, access to high level meets, sponsorships) and college athletes (facilities, fun team environment, an xc season lol) get. Even if she hasn't been tested because she hasn't qualified for a World Athletics event yet, I'm sure she will be treated like any other pro athlete that gets tested and performs at a high level.
