"Looking ahead, Touhy said her fitness is where it should be. Her comments summed up what everyone will be looking forward to in the next few meets: The run to the national championship and the hope of feeling fresh for that epic showdown with Florida's Parker Valby in three weeks.
“Everything is feeling good. We had a couple of big training blocks leading up to this time of year so I think our bodies are pretty fit. Once we start tapering off a little bit, we’ll be fresh. I’m looking forward to feeling fresh going into the rest of the championships season,” Tuohy said."
as some have surmised Tuohy will probably be faster at Nationals than she was 2 weeks ago. Whether it will be fast enough we all will find out.
I'd still think sitting Stephens at Regionals would not be the worst thing.
They will have to be very, very good to beat NAU.
