This is a really good question. Katelyn is the National leader in both the 1500 and the 5000. The double is too much though. I think she should go for the 1500.

katelyn tuohy finished ran 4:06 and finished in 63 but was not even winded, she finished and did a celebratory fist pump!!! amazing!! she really wanted this win !!!
What smooth running form from head to toe. So relaxed in her facial expression as she gradually ratchets it up during the final lap. She is the real deal.
if she will not run 1500m at nationals, it means her 5000m time is more impressive than her 1500m time??? and she just effortlessly ran a 4:06 1500m
im literally confused, if she loses the ncaa 5000m title and the 1500m title gets won in over 4:06 then im totally blaming the coaching staff, 100% for not knowing which event is her stronger event
I think the 5000 is a smart choice. You have to choose one or the other as a double is not viable. I think the Standord senior has run 4:04 so it would be a very competitive race. Plus the indoor mile champ will also be in it.
At this point, I say a) let Henes and her do whatever the hell they want.
But I'd love to see them pull an Athing Mu and run the 1500 at NCAAs and then 5000 at USAs although I guess she could do 1500/5000 at NCAAs. Or hell just skip USAs.
And I really hope she doesn't go pro this summer. She's THRIVING in college. Still has a lot to accomplish (XC title is the big gone). If i was her, I'd run NCAAs through 2023 NCAA xc, then go pro so she could focus on Pairs 2024.
There's plenty of things to accomplish at the NCAA level and if you hold out until the Olympic year the dollars are bigger so you recoup some of the cash you miss out on by not going pro now.
If she wants to skip USAs this year, I'm fine with that as well. She's had an amazing year. I'd be tempted to end on a high note versus extending her season through July unless that's what she really wants. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you have to. Would you rather end on a high note of winning NCAAs versus getting obliterated at Worlds? It's kind of like how MLB teams keep super studs in the minors until they are super ready.
Agree on point letting the people who know her best decide what to do at NCAA's. But no double. Once NCAA is over decide whether to run the 5,000 at USA's. But that is it. Shut down and then start getting ready for XC.
the thing is, heymach ran that last year, theres no guarantee that she could run that kind of time again because for the past year she has not come close to that, even in the mile.. hence i thought of it
but unless nc state coaching staff hides that katelyn can now run sub 15, then well i hope thats the case because i really do believe she can win the 1500m .. shes capable of 4:02 all-out for sure, which is crazyyyyy because we thought 4:09 was such a good time and even me, i thought that was it...i predicted 4:06 as her junior PR and not this year... and she just easily crushed it.
