Katelyn Tuohy breaks u20 3000m record

LOL at this thread.

Last year you creepy fanboys went on for days trying to discredit the records set by Jenna Hutchins and saying that Tuohy's 5000 was better because she didn't have pacers, etc.

Now you are celebrating Tuohy getting towed all the way to a U20 record by older faster runners on a super fast track while wearing the latest super shoes.

At least Hutchins won her race. Fun fact: The pro she towed to a 15:35 PR outkicked Orton at BU and dropped that PR to 15:08. Super fast track. Super shoes.

Someone is pressed. :)

Wow. Good catch. The fans will deny that Hutchins can run 15:07 though even though she has more room to improve than what a grown woman does.

Well put. There are positive and negative comments about the NP coach and the team. There are positive and negative comments about Houlihan. There are positive and negative comments about Quigley. There are endless comments about the length of the John Hunt RunningLane course.

How high school runners progress in college is a bit of a crapshoot, especially when injuries are factored in. Then again, Rodenfels was a DIII runner who progressed so much after graduating from college that she just beat the defending D1 cross country champion in a 5000m and ran a 15:08. So who knows.

hutchins fanboys crying again on a tuohy thread, OK let's entertain them

katelyn set too many records without pacers and she is capable of running fast times without pacers, idk why you are here but if you want to talk about records then let's talk

jenna is fast, but she only has how many national records under her name? just a 5k and how many does katelyn have? 1mile, 2mile (2nd-all time), 3k indoor hs, 3k u20, 3200m hs, 5k indoor hs, 5k indoor u20

and then how many national championships she won? 3 straight in nike cross nationals, and too many to mention in track.. + five gatorade trophies

Stay calm everyone. Everything he stated was true just as what you stated was. Nothing you stated disputes that Hutchins is the 5k record holder and ran the fastest 5K XC in history while Tuohy has more records.

That 5k is the real deal though. Hutchins ran faster than any American pro or college runner in history before age 20 even though she was only 17. So if she progresses at a similar rate to other Americans, she will be the fastest 5k runner in history. I think the 10k will be her best event though. Tuohy seems to be more of a 3k runner which is too bad because there is no 3k in the Olympics. I could see her running 8:35 during her career.

Hutchins' 5K u-20 record is equivalent to an 8:48 3000 m.

The u20 US record is 15:21. There is a video of the race but it has never been certified.

How is it the record then? Is it like Hutchins holding the national XC record?

The coach keeps saying they will get it certified yet it never seems to be. Odd.

Perhaps, but with a 800 m pr of 213.65 (4/3/21) she has even less speed than Tuohy.

Lol. Kipchoge is 37. How much older do you think his “real” age is? He was 18 when he won a world championship 5000 gold over El G and Bekele.

Was he 24 then and actually 43 now? Please.

What do you think Jacob’s real age is?

That normally indicates that the 10k conversion will be slower than what she can do.

Certainly Hutchins stride seems more fit for a 10k, or even longer race.

Got to say, I don't understand where this thread is going. First of all, great to see Tuohy still improving...she certainly seems to be progressing well after the injury. I believe the team environment at NCS, where she was not the star of the team, has really helped push her ...especially having the likes of Chmiel there.

What this has to do with Hutchin's is beyond me. I think it's great that Hutchin's has set down some great times, and although it would have been nice (from a fan standpoint) to see her complete her senior year racing...it will be very interesting how she progresses at BYU. Hopefully she continues strongly as well.

How this becomes a Touhy vs Hutchins debate I have no idea....Very likely we will see them race each other in the near future anyway.

I don't know tuohys been doing it for like seven straight years. Sure there were a couple of highs and lows. But overall she's been setting age-group record since forever. So far all the other girls that were supposed to be better than her have only done it for a season. So it just seems obvious that people would be more into Tuohy

True. She will never run another race that has an age group. She will be an adult from now on and she should be compared to the competition of NCAA runners and pro runners.
