Some of you love her while others hate her. Neither will change the others' opinions. She reminds me of Rupp.
To hate an athlete for competing well or poorly is not just ignorant, it's stupid. If you don't like the way they respond to an interviewer, it's none of your business.
If there's poor sportsmanship or an attempt to make the playing field unbalanced, that's another matter. Katelyn Tuohy has done none of those things.
Let's celebrate victories and encourage improvement, or comment on the races, training etc... To dis someone just because you can hide behind an anonymous keyboard is cowardice.

Abrasive and conceited? That's rediculous! She won most of her high school races and set course records everywhere she went. Her interviews after racing were always extremely well done. She had great composure with intelligent responses. I never once heard her slam another competiter. The only negatives I ever heard from her was about her own performance. She'd set a course record and say how she could have done better. That's not conceit, that's confidence in her ability and work ethic with a drive to do even better. Positive thoughts promoting victory. Some people put up their own roadblocks, not Katelyn. In addition, you get to see her personality on the "Running with da Toad" videos. There's also a video with half a dozen athletes talking about the pandemic. Each athlete had trophies and awards in the background except Tuohy. She must have a warehouse full of them, but they weren't displayed.
The difference in her college interviews is she smiles more. You also see her growth as a human being, but she's got nothing to be ashamed of in her high school interviews. I only wish I could have displayed as much intelligence and composure at that age.
It's true, most of those races were like time trials because she was so far ahead of everyone. In college she's running with more experienced athletes and has had to learn how to race. I'd say her "toolbox" is pretty full at this point. I loved it when she pulled that deft move on Gregory with one lap to go in the 5000 at the indoor championships.
It's challenging to transition from high school to college, but to do it as an athlete with an injury must have been extremely difficult. Then covid and the flu in early 2022. She really came back strong after that. Now she's really hitting her stride (sorry for the pun).
Katelyn Tuohy is a fine individual and possibly the greatest runner on the planet. Rock on Katelyn, whatever you're doing, you're doing it extremely well. God bless you!
Did you see the move she made in the 1500 heat at ACC? Picture this, running in lane 1 with 2 leading in lane 1 side by side in lane 1, 2 right behind them - 1 in lane 1, 1 in lane 2, then 2 right behind you - 1 in lane 1 and 1 in lane 2. You get almost on tip toes, drop arms to side, angle body 45 degrees and squeeze through without pushing anyone.
No, I haven't seen that one. It sounds amazing.
She commented once about a cross country race when three runners had her boxed in on both sides and in front and she had to elbow her way out.
yea I remember that - 9th grade Manhattan Easterns
