Well yes. We told you that her improvement would be less than her peers due to this. Valby and Stearns have essentially caught her and will pass her by like she is standing still. Cook will be next.

Have “ESSENTIALLY CAUGHT HER”
let’s look at nationals, and I’ll only say one thing
Yeah you actually only need to run like 4 times a week if you cross train a lot. But most runners don't want to bike 3 hours a day and rather risk injury via bumping up their mileage.
idk bruh when i was watching xc nationals tuohy caught valby and passed by her like she was standing still. cook and stearns werent even in frame. indoors could be different, or it could be the same.

There will never be enough KT2E threads, but this is a tired stupid point of view, and it needs to be retired.
There's just been no one like Katelyn--on the men's OR the women's side. She was a generational talent and a certified prodigy. She set three of the major high school records (mile, 5K and 2 mile). Truly only a HANDFUL of runners can even be mentioned in the same sentence as her when it comes to her high school successes, and none were flash in the pan. She was consistently dominant.
NO ONE this good, or even close to this good in high school experienced the success in college that she has so far. Maybe Dathan---maybe. She worked her way up from a rocky injury laden freshman year, to an All American finish in XC, to 2 runner up finishes in indoor and now not one but TWO NCAA titles, and she's just a junior. She has surpassed every standard of expectation for someone this good in high school.
What does Katelyn have to do on here to prove herself? Remember when she won her THIRD national high school title, and Rojo posted a tacky thread comparing her to Nico Young, who had won his first title, saying he believed Young is the better future prospect? The girl won for a third time, and because the margin of victory was less than a second, Rojo was frothing at the mouth ready to pounce on her demise. Imagine what would be said about her if she finished 2nd or 3rd? At nationals?
So now she is without a doubt the most dominant NCAA runner in the game, and we are trashing her because her margin of improvement isn't good enough for us? What is it about Tuohy--about girls in general that make it so when a girl isn't "burning out" on time, people get agitated and impatient? Why do we cling to the burnout narrative so much?

Honestly Gerry Lindgren might fit the quota in HS, he briefly set the HS mile record I think, had the 5k record etc
A generational talent? What? Cook and Hutchins ran faster in HS. Cook had the U20 record. Calby had a faster 3000. Is a generation 5 minutes? I thought it was 25 years.

Most of the posters on LRC are men and look at trajectory and improvement from a very male centered point of view. They judge young female runners harshly and fail to recognize that HS boys improve linearly, girls don't .

Tuohy still holds several U20 records and set another one (the i3000m u20 record) just last year. I think generational gets thrown around too much, but she was a high school phenom.
Yep. Being better and mentally tougher than her competition. As the announcer said as she ran by your latest hopeful, "the most decorated high school runner in history." Keep flailing away with your rates of improvement projections.
