Katelyn Tuohy 24th!

I agree. Even 20 seconds would put her 6th today.

She has been running since at least September - how much longer do they continue to mention she lost time due to injury -i would guess a lot of the top 40 lost some time due to injury since last June - byu girl said she only trained for 5 weeks for this race. Tuohy has been running for at least 7 months? It would be different if xc nationals were in November

Tuohy had the 25th fastest 3,000 (more like 38th if you neglect the flat track correction) in the NCAA this year, and looked bad doing it, and somehow gets 24th on the tough 6K course?

Orton was the best in the NCAA, then took maybe 1-2 months off, and got back to this point. Tuohy basically took June to October off, then started training at a low volume level.

They both did well today.

She's a distance Runner! Obviously the faster-paced took more out of her. And she's better at running a tougher course at a slower pace for a longer distance

But the times aren't really that out of whack because you have to factor in the conversion. It's much easier to run on a banked track so she was 25th in 3K and 24th in cross country

It kind of makes sense because first of all there was a number of Runners who just did a lot more than her at National indoors so she had that going for her. She's had a little bit more training time. And she's better at the cross country distance

So with all that in mind her finish is pretty much right where you would expect it to be

BYU will win next year too.....Hutchins....

Are you referring to the girl who's a junior in high school. Is she leaving high school early? So everyone can come back right? Imagine 99% of the runners will. I guess someone could turn pro or want to start a career but I'd imagine everyone will come back and take advantage of the free year

Arkansas should be tough next year they're getting thorvaldson and won't have the double. NC State hopefully will get starliper back and they pick up Brooke rauber.... NC State could be a lot stronger but yeah I guess happy why you would have to be the favorite with pretty big win

Sorry, BYU favorite next year with the big win

Top five is a good estimate.

Will be an interesting 4-5 years.

What an impressive result. As a high school "star", myself long ago, I had a tough time coming back after ill health, family troubles, etc. She is obviously a tough kid that chose a good coaching situation. A great advertisement for future recruits.

There is an Instagram post that says Clairmonte is "coming off of 2 weeks real training". Kind of explains why she was MIA in the indoor meets.

could not agree more....this was completely out of left field for me.

Great race for her.

A great run for her. 2X All American after a strange pandemic year. 24th in the country and best freshman.

Pretty weak overall.

I told everyone she wouldn't amount to much after high school.

Overhyped and overtrained. Same old burnout story.

Taylor Ewert is the one to watch.

I don't know if this other thread is true. But if it is, of Starliper, Dudek, Brown and Tuohy, the one without a stress reaction of fracture is now Tuohy.

She is on crutches in the post race picture. That seems like a big deal to finish a race and then need crutches.

I think Ewert will develop well in the future, but not sure I understand your logic. Tuohy ran a 9:14 flat track converted 3k in her first individual race since March of her senior year, while Ewert ran 9:26 with a full season of college cross country and indoor track under her belt. Also Ewert didn't race NCAA XC, even though she was always in their top 7 during the fall, which makes me think that she's injured. How is Tuohy being the only all American freshman "not amounting to much"? Ewert was only tenth at SECs

Okay, so the Brojos were RIPPING on Touhy a few podcast ago after she ran a 9:19 3k several weeks back. Fast forward to this weekend, she ran the 1200m lead off leg on an all-american DMR team then comes back 3 days later over 6k at XC Nationals and placed 24th (All-American again) to help her team finish 2nd. All after coming back from a serious knee injury. Fantastic freshman campaign and outdoor hasn't even started. I realize people have insane expectations for her, but this is undoubtedly a step in the right direction for her.

We weren't ripping on her at all. Do you want me to provide a transcript as I have a servicde that transcribes it? We simply said it was good she is racing, pointed out it wasn't a great result for her time wise and said it was close to what she ran as a freshman in HS. We mainly said we were happy she was racing again - let's dont hype her too much.

The reality is if you are the 18th fastest woman in the country in the 3k of whatever she was, a top 40 showing in xc is far from crazy. Think about it. IF every singel individual from NCAAs ran xc and beat her that would mean at most 48 people in the mile, 3k and 5k. Considering some of those people are double counted and many of them didn't run xc, it's not crazy.

She almost made NCAA indoors individually. If you can make NCAA indoors in a distance event, all-american is a realistic goal. It was great to see her run so well and be so aggressive.

Yea but since the year was so crazy a lot of the fastest girls, like Donaghu and Dudek for example did not even run a 3K. So 18th fastest in a year that hardly everyone ran it. No?

She still overrated and will burnout and be the next Brianna Jackuowicz

not everyone ran cross country or peaked for it, so you could say in a normal year her performance in xc would have been several spots back maybe even pushed back to 35-40? her performance is what it is, a solid result for a the best HS runner in history. Hopefully it's a good step in the right direction. Nothing to super celebrate but happy she is running solid.

Oh I don't know. Only freshman all-American seems worth celebrating.

Very strange to have more men than women.
