It's ironic how Katelyn Tuohy is now known for her kick and winning national titles using her kick when 2 years ago we said she didn't have a kick. It goes to show you that good coaching matters, and of course raw speed.
If Tuohy can run 2:55 5th kilometer on a tough cross country course in a 6k race, I can only imagine what she is capable of in track! I'm getting hyped, excited to see more of that kick on the track!

2 years ago? It was 1 year ago the first signs of a kick showed - at BU! And yes it is ironic they say what they say now given how many on this board branded her. But, that 5th K at National was officially 2:56.2 for 0.93 KM (the splits are shown as being at 4K and 4.93 K). till pretty fas although net downhill a lot, but with one decent uphill climb in the middle of it.
If Tuohy continues to improve her kick and manage to break 4 in the 1500 while IN college, I truly believe she is our best chance to medal against Epothians.
Tuohy will never be close to medalling. I give her a 50% chacne of making a team. She will never be as fast as Purrier SP in the 1500 or Schweizer or Cranny or Monson in the 5000.
A kick at the end of a 5k or 6k has nothing to do with speed. Farah is the best kicker of all-time and he has no 400 speed. Kincaid is one the best kickers in the world and he has no speed. Katy-Ann McDonald is a 2 flat 800 runner and was the fastest runner in the race last Saturday but she ran the 2nd slowest last 1000.

The math is not mathing bro.
You are saying an 800m runner was the fastest runner in that race? uhh cross country is a 800m race? yo girl mcdonald did not even run the fastest 800m in that race nor the fastest last kilometer .. she ran 4:08

As always, people improve their fitness and not their kick. Can she kick off of 15:00 or 14:50 pace? There’s a pace where she can’t accelerate at the end and another where she would actually slow down. Do we know for a fact if she has even improved her 400 speed since HS?

she dropped 6 seconds from her 1500m pr last year and basically could have gone faster too if the field was competitive .. yea her 400 was 62/63s last year
It is always frustrating to converse with you because you don't respect opinions that are based on many years of experience. You have admitted that you have done no research on historical facts while most of us have been involved in high level racing and coaching and spectating for many years. You said that you knew nothing about Drew Hunter even though he is a modern day high school phenom. That means you haven't followed running at all other than one runner. I would think that you would approach some of these discussions more inquisitively rather than claiming that you can predict Tuohy's future and other runners' futures when you have no background.
