When she joins Bowerman, she'll drop the weight via thyroid meds.
But seriously, she looks fine, and I look forward to what she can accomplish outdoors. People in college are allowed to grow as people figuratively and literally.
most successful prep runner in us history. the attention is warranted
I recall when she was in 8th grade and 9th grade she kept getting 2nd in NY championships to upperclassmen like Sammy Watson and Jessica Lawson. Then she started taking running more seriously.
I was very impressed with the devastating moves made by Micaela Degenero (2:04/4:09/4:33/19:50 xc) in the mile and Taylor Roe (2:08/4:14/8:58/20:06 xc) in the 3k to put away their races. Roe held on against an impressive effort to close the gap by Tuohy and Gregory, while Degenero just put her race out of reach by 1.5 seconds.
It's Tow-ee. Remember, most announcers said Sigh-del for years.
Nice double for her. Her talent and smart coaching from Henes really showed this weekend.
Dunno anything about her family history, but her name always sounded Finnish to me, "Two--oh--ee." Finland in Finnish is Suomi, pronounced "Sue-oh-me."
Agree Tuohy was in bad position with 800 to go, but regardless that was really impressive. Closed in about 63.5 and 31.2, fastest last 400 and 200 of the entire field. A few years ago, heck even one year ago, I never thought I'd be typing a sentence like that.
Last 400 in 63.5. I wonder if she has ever gone sub-60.
Next year Roe will have phenom Natalie Cook as a teammate. That will be an incredible 1-2.

Always nice to see a Michigan runner so well. I credit Devenero’s success to her years with Mike Macguire who develops his athletes for long term success. Makes sense that it would all come together in year 6.

Pretty certain DeGenero never ran within 7 seconds of her high school PR while at Michigan. I wouldn't give the Michigan coach too much credit for her success. Killer finish though, and you gotta love the quote "If you're going to make a move, you have to slam the door".
