That would have put Tuohy 136th on the guy side, 1min40 behind the winner.

I don't think that this was her strongest race of the year.

She mentioned that she probably went out a bit fast. The course also looked a lot more sloppy for the girls. Still she smashed the course record

First time FM runners show emotion

they showed emotion when they lost to wayzata; they all just talked about regret for ending the win streak, nobody wanted to be on that team that lost.

this time they thought they had lost ---- the emotion here was relief

Did anyone else think her form was pretty poor?

I remember that, no joy in being on the podium, I realize they assumed they lost today and were relieved but at least there were some smiles

Too bad we learn so long after the fact that the team title was at stake during that last 1 K.

Alberto will fix her form...don't worry.

Can't wait for Doug Soles to come on LetsRun and make up some excuses for why Greak Oak got trashed!

Yea, made my day not to see them on the podium. As much as a I hate seeing that creepy Manlius dude up there I would have really been bumbed if GO and their coach was there as well.

Hey! No Community Race coverage?

Is high school running super uncompetitive? All of the top teams have under 100 points. This is supposed to be nationals and everyone is averaging under 100.

Mark Parker head of Nike is giving out awards. Is he always at this?

Go back to the tape - form was pretty good, remember it was muddy out there that's going to cause her to be uneven at times. But if you watch the tape she is nice and tall, limited back kick, and good upper body positioning.

As for the team race, its more a consequence of a long season from most teams - a few teams handle it very well and that really brings their score down a lot as it is so bunched. Unlike college, where a big part of the field knows they are likely going to nationals and can structure their training, these high school teams are sometimes stretching their season well past peak. Add in a slow course and chances are at least a few guys on most every team will struggle. The teams that have great races then really jump ahead as there are so few of them that run that well.

She was 20 or 30 seconds slower than guys that were only a few seconds ahead of her or that she beat at regionals.

On the flip side, she was only 50 seconds behind Brennan (who beat her by 66 seconds at regionals) and 43 seconds behind Berg who beat her by 1 minute at regionals. She was 61 seconds behind Stokes, who beat her by 58 seconds at Regionals (so that is similar)

But it looks to me that the top NY guys (most particularly Brennan and Berg) tanked today.

I think that she could have run 16:25 had she had a similar performance than Regionals.

She did not run a bad race, but it just shows how fast she was at regionals.

Is she the new Mary Cain?

She's like a minute or more faster than Mary Cain on 5k courses.

As impressive as her NXN race was, her best race of the season was at VCP a month ago. I've watched several of her races and this was the first time I've seen her fatigued. I'm not sure if it was the course or that fast first mile, but she spent the 3rd and 4th K gathering herself; she generally does not stop pushing. Also, she has an 'athletically' thin build which is generally a good sign for future potential. A similar body type as Hasay, Gallagher and Decker for example.

Wow, there was absolutely ZERO (0) talent on the Boys side other than the top five (5) guys. What a joke.

Foot Locker is so much better.

I am going to compile Top 24 at Foot Locker 1600/3200m times to Top 24 at NXN to see which really had a deeper field.

Tuouhy is special. Olympian in the making. I will make anyone a $100 bet that she runs Foot Locker either as JR or a SR.

Wow, really going out on a limb there, eh?

Way to go Mariah Castillo in 3rd place. Gutsy performance after taking second place at the CIF State Meet the week prior, keep an eye out for her at TCU next year.

Deal.

Check the age of her teammates. She will be at this meet unless she transfers

Manlius girls and LV boys got the exact same team score (89).

This wasn't her best performance. She definitely got scared the first mile and took it out too fast. She should've dropped them at a 1.5 or 2 miles and just hammer to the finish. Her time would've been faster. I'd say under 16:40

KATELYN TUOHY IS ON ANOTHER LEVEL RIGHT NOW! NIKE BETTER OFFER HER A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR DEAL RIGHT NOW! SHE'S GOT THE LOOKS AND THE TALENT!!! SHE HAS WORLD CLASS TALENT!!!

Tuohy doesn't need to run high school anymore, the resume speaks for itself. It's a waste of time. She needs to run in the professional ranks right now!!!

In person she's tiny- muscular but very small.
