What i got out of touhy in this race is she just wanted to go for the experience, didn’t worry about what time she got or place she got nothing more nothing less and was being cautious to stay healthy for nc state!
so funny how her coach and her expected the race to be 14:40 pace .. the pros have different plan today
Nevermind i just saw her interview! Lol
This is really charming. Great attitude. Love that she was fangirling a bit.
She didn’t make excuses but definitely a learning experience for her. I’m excited to see her progression from here.
She did fine, about as expected for someone so young. Great learning experience and she'll be that much better next time!!
She handled it perfectly and has a great attitude. She wasn't going through today and got out of the race what she could including the training leading up to it, now go dial it back until august or september and be a 21 year old and have summer fun , well done.
What a joke some of the posters are by claiming that Tuohy can kick with the best of them. The big fans gave her a chance to qualify. Some of us told you she had absolutely no chance. She can't run fast enough in a fast race and can't kick in a slow race. She got absolutely dropped over the last 4 laps. She can't run a 1600 that fast if fresh.

For sure. Silly thread premise and many took the bait.
for Semi ;)
1probably your favorite part ;)
thanks ,,, semi will sleep now ,.,.. its freakin 2:30 am and i have class tomorrow at 7:30 am .. yep bye .. great job KT !
Let's check back when she is 23-24. See you in three years.
As you watch more track meets, you’ll probably see more tactical races, esp in heat, and championship/trials situations. I know it’s different than fast paced races, but stick with it, maybe you’ll come to appreciate the tactics and the strength it takes to close a 5k in 4:25.
Sure. I definitely appreciate the amount of burritos that takes to pull off.
Obviously she just wanted to get the experience and train with her friend and maybe in two years they'll do it again... I'm sure she didn't want to have to train anymore and is ready to take a break so, it was quite a season!
Nonsense. Did you see the next two races? They were among the fastest in the last decade. The race went the way it did b/c the leaders wanted it to go that way.
As for KT, she was, as she said in her interview, "overwhelmed." There is no shame in that. If she was as close to the pros as y'all think, it'd be time for her to go pro, as Mu & AH have. But she isn't, so it's back to NC State for her.
She's plenty impressive, even to those of us who aren't wearing rose-tinted glasses.
No surprise if, in 2024, KT runs the exact race Infeld did today.
