Add Brynn Brown's 2020 TX State Meet 16:25.9 to the XC Record Books

All 3 are better than Tuohy.

This was really a historic run in Texas. Easily the fastest time ever at the state meet since it's been a 5K (TX girl's have only ran 5k in two classes since 2012), and this was with probably not as good conditions as the fastest year in 2018.

I'm 100% certain these Brown is the fastest girl to ever run in TX, and would beat any other runner. She's run ridiculous times that no other TX girl has run before, and set an incredibly fast course record.

Bryn Brown 16:25.89 (2020)

Ashlyn Hillyard 16:38.30 (2018)

Brynn Brown 16:45.36 (2018)

Aubrey O'Connell 16:52.84 (2018)

Heidi Nielson 16:55.56 (2018)

London Culbreath 16:56.00 (2017)

Sophie Atkinson 16:57.44 (2020)

London Culbreath 16:58.52 (2018)

*Just as reference, Sophie Atkinson Track PRs:

1600: 4:48.95 (2020 Outdoor)

3200: 10:30.96 (2019 Outdoor)

The next fastest girl in 6A-5A was a 9th grader who won the 5A race in 17:10.65.

Sophie's teammate Heidi Nielson was 3rd in 17:38.13, Track PRs:

1600: 4:47.90 (2020 Outdoor)

3200: 10:27.26 (2019 Outdoor)

*wow, they could probably put together an incredible DMR & 4x1600/Mile with these two girl's running sub 4:50.

Correction to post above: National HS XC invite on 12/5 at Lubbock Christian U (not Abilene Christian U).

Per other posts, appears Brown, Thorvaldson, Vanderkoii, and Rauber -- four of the top five hs xc girls this fall -- will be facing off. Only Hutchins missing.

After watching Brynn Brown, here is my national ranking for 2020 -

1. Sydney Thorvaldson

2. Jenna Hutchings

3. Brynn Brown

4. Abby Vanderkooi

Hopefully they get to race each other someday.

The 5A race was the day before and it was much cooler than the 80 degree weather for the 6A race.

The much maligned Ms Tuohy only managed to beat all of the 2018 girls you list in Portland that year by over 1 minute, in the best weather Portland has seen.

Speed rating for Brown is 162.

Fast course. The speed ratings for the TX boys 5A race were the same scale as the Huntsville boys race. The 6A girls race on the next day which was hotter came out about 15 seconds slower than the Huntsville girls race.

Fun Fact: Atkinson and Brown were actually in the same feeder system toward Denton Guyer when they were in middle school. But Atkinson's parents had a move or something changed that pushed her to Katy. But then you would have had your dream DMR with the top two girls in the state on the same team.

Are you serious?? Get back on your meds quickly before you say that Trump won!

Trump lost. What does Tuohy not being as fast as these three have to do with Biden winning? Tuohy is lucky that she was not a year or two younger.

No impersonations. Not even lame ones.

What impersonations? You mean like taking the name of a dog named Astro? Or somebody pretending to be Katelyn? FasterTuohy has a qualifier on the front as being faster than Tuohy like Brown or Hutchins are.

What do you have against dogs? I knew it.

Charlotte Bednar, a pretty good runner, low 16s for 5,000 on track, recently beat Sydney Masciarelli in a 5,000 on a track, top ten last year at NXN just won a meet at Holmdel NJ where she ran 17:21, 1 minute slower than what Tuohy ran in 2018. 157 speed rating which is her season's best.

Texas course was short as it normally is. Every once in a while they make it close to 5k but this year it was less than 3 miles. Times and records are meaningless unless they start certifying courses.

I’m sorry, which of them have beaten any of her track times? I mean, ANY of her track times from 1500m+?

Just a note*, when I said Brown would beat any other runner, I meant from Texas***.

Brown would have beaten her 3200 & 2-mile bests last season, assuming she did get a post season race that was 2 miles long. Too bad she didn't get a track season in really cause of COVID ending things.
