That is a creepy video. Literally filmed nothing but Tuohy the entire time, including her warmups. To think this creep was in the same stadium with her. Scary. Is Craig Donnelly out of prison yet? I'm a little worried.

Hmmm. I for one appreciate that person filming Tuohy. They are obviously a fan, videoing a race specifically of the athlete they’re a fan of. During the actual pay-per-view footage of the race, even though they were talking about Tuohy (A LOT), we often couldn’t see her during the race. Now we actually got to see her. Thanks videographer!
NOTE: Have folks over the years stopped noticing that those that call the kettle black tend to be pots?
You are our future as a US 5K runner and everyone loves you. No other runner has the mental strength and biomechanics to be as good as you. Go out there and shine on the US team in next years Trials!!
No, not amazing. Can we be honest? Most people would say that a failure to break 15 is a failure tonight. Touhy is held to a higher standard.
Failure seems harsh but I would say "B" Grade. She did not have a kick for the last two laps.
After Wake Forest and the Monti interview indicating 15:09 target I had a feeling she might not break 15 this race. She doesn't seem to quite have the spark from indoors. She bested both Galvan and Henes at Millrose but was 13 seconds behind them here which was surprising to me.
Did someone even think this was an off race for Tuohy?
1 her form was off
2 she was already struggling half way
3 she got beat by galvan whom she beat comfortably twice indoors, galvan ran 14:49
By her own admission she was not feeling 100%. Would think there’s another 5-15 seconds of improvement there, based on other races where she wasn’t feeling it. The amazing thing is that her talent is such that she can perform with a 11 second improvement on her PR when she’s not up to par. Her 3rd NXN win was run similarly when she was feeling off due to stresses. Her stress coping mechanisms may need to improve a bit with maturity. On-the-other-hand she was graduating at an accelerated clip (3 years) and may have taken on additional last minute projects associated with her classes. I can relate to her circumstances though I never had the additional stressors of expectations associated with being an elite runner with 100K+ fans and press howling around every corner.
Obviously Simpson ran a faster time for all season /all conditions and was imho the GOAT of college running. Lisa Koll was faster than Jenny at 14:55, and Jessica Hull ran 15 flat. Does not change what the outdoor record is. Why is this concept hard to grasp

Tuohy is a great talent and I truly wish to see her succeed. That said, people are getting way too worked up over this race. Getting a soft NCAA record is nice but she was also 13 seconds slower than a 33 year old pro that has undergone a hip replacement. Let's keep things in perspective.

Wow.
She achieved an 11 second PR
She broke an NCAA record (breaking ANY record is a big deal)
She may be 13 seconds behind a post-surgery pro, but she’s SEVENTEEN seconds AHEAD of her NCAA competition
That took every ounce of all Tuohy had to run that. Sorry but not ready for next level. She should stay in college and dominate but even that remains questionable as college runners adapting.
Im pulling for KT, but this is probabaly true. She is lets be honest, almost 30 sec slower than the fastest American women (granted one is Shelby). She definitely squeezed that lemon, 75+ sec last lap.
