These are my unimportant personal opinions on Mary Cain and Katelyn Tuohy
As for Mary Cain, she has been struggling with injuries for the longest time already. Turning PRO at such an early age was such a gamble, maybe for her and her team it was the right thing to do but it wasn't really that smart of a move, but yes it was cool and all the media attention was all on her but it was still a gamble specially in a sport(distance running) where its not yet considered as "mainstream" compared to other running distances/events.
(ill try to accept that decision but i really dont think it was smart of them)
Mary Cain has less opportunities to race now that there's a pandemic going on because running events are getting cancelled here and there, and the only thing she can do is train and train. We can't see how much she had improve and how well she would do in races. If she only went to college she would have all the opportunities to break countless of records.
As for Katelyn Tuohy, she has always been smart in her running career decisions and in life in general (girl's a hs valedictorian and currently taking up engineering in nc state) her family and coaches tried hard not to burn her out in HS, but things just happens and she also got injured starting in 2018, but I think they dealt with it the best way possible, only raced her on important races and still won everything despite her injury and finished her HS career as a champion.
Katelyn Tuohy has a better chance to come back to her true talent compared to Cain, Katelyn has 4 years of nonstop racing opportunities in college where there's running meets every weekends, but the question is can she do it? Can she get back?
So far this 2021, Katelyn has been doing quite well slowly getting back to her true talent. Quarantine and the postponement(rescheduling) of the 2020 NCAA XC Championships really fell on her favor, it gave her time to recover from her injury and slowly get back to racing just in time to race on her very first XC race in college. I see that Coach Henes has been smart with Katelyn too, not over racing her and as she say "slow-walking" her.
Katelyn's knee surgery will either make her better than ever with proper training or make her injury prone, there's uncertainty but i hope she gets close to or surpass her HS times.
