Based on all of the doomsday predictions about Touhy from this site that have come to pass, she is my pick to win the title next year. :) That is part of why I am such a big fan. No matter how much the haters hate, she just keeps on being awesome.
LR message board community: Touhy will never be able to handle a close race, much less a sprint to the finish.
Touhy: Sprints her little self right to the line to win her 3rd NXN title.
LR message board community after she shut her junior year track season down early: She is done. Finished. A flash in the pan.
Touhy: Goes on to keep winning and just helped NC State win a national XC title. Still getting faster, and clearly no where near done.
LR community: Touhy's choice to go to NC State is wrong. She could have gone anywhere. Why would she choose to go there?
Touhy: Smiling her a$$ off, happy and running strong in a supportive environment while getting an engineering degree.
LR community: Touhy is not the waif she was when she was 15. She is going to be too heavy to run fast (this thread was so cringeworthy). The lady changes are going to stop her.
Touhy: Running strong at the college level and fit as a fiddle.
I just love this girl.
