Tuohy will NOT win NXN

You are delusional or Covert’s boyfriend

Or (s)he could be a troll...

and to the person who said Covert had an off day because she lost to Ewert, who she beat at FL Midwest, maybe Ewert had an off day at FL? I guess we’ll find out next week! I’m cheering for

Covert FYI.

This has been an entertaining thread.

Covert is the best. Just an off week, under the weather.

We literally just discovered that she is in fact NOT the best. She’s 4th best.

Wait, doesn’t Nike now issue invitations to runners who may have had a bad day at their regional? Didn’t the national champ team finish 3rd at their regional. Are they 3rd or 1st then? I think Nike’s own rules infer that runners have good and bad days.

Logic? In this post race interview all she seemed to say was the race was really fast, and she was "really happy with how it went". Does not sound like a bad day to me. https://www.milesplit.com/videos/313366

FL girls race should be pretty close between Covert, Ewert, Masciarelli and Starliper. A Hart rebound would only add to it though she seems to be in next tier at this time. Will be good to have a contested national championship girls race. This may also help shed some light on the answer to the how fast Tuohy would run at Balboa Park question.

Yes, that is a good strategy. Tuohy hates to go out fast.

I just wanted to give kudos here; some nice quiet sarcasm helps my enjoyment of the threads.

Any runner finishing 4th should be gracious in defeat.

It's one race dipsh*t. Use your brain, or better yet, just listen...don't talk.

Moving on to Foot Locker, Emily Covert will WIN a national title in San Diego, mark my words

Right, so lets ignore the head to head loss to Tuohy and focus on the fact that when Covert beat Ewert by a few seconds at FL Regional she must have been loafing and she could have easily won by 35 seconds or so which is more than Tuohy on a reported bad day beat Ewert. Ok, I will use your logic. thanks, it helps. As far FL goes, agree Covert has a good shot at it, along with a few other girls, including Ewert. But remember Masciarelli outkicked Starliper who has run some decent mile times, so if the race is slow those two might have the advantage.

You're a modern day Nostradamus!

So did she win NXN?

Correction dumb a$$... Its 2 races. She did even worse today

I think she's gonna win, but I'm not incredibly confident. She's not quite hitting the same times from sophomore year or last year, but that could be because she wasn't going all out in those meets. I would feel really bad if she doesn't win lol. If the times she has gotten this year are truly indicative of her fitness, I'm worried she's gonna take out ahead like normal and die out. There's a lot of expectations and pressure on her so I'm sure she's nervous. Not sure who's good enough to beat her though, that's the thing.

She has been at the top for a few years so probably about time to fade.

She's still got the highest speed ratings!

She's averaging 166 this year

No one else is over 155. Think she'll probably run a 1647 in tough conditions. I can't see anyone else breaking 17 in that field...
