NC State Sophomore Katelyn Tuohy takes the race from the start to finish, splits 48 67 66 63 to win the ACC 1500m title!! A 6-second PR! Katelyn doubled back...
Plenty of fast pro and collegiate runners in the Elite Mile at Camel City Invite. The meet happens a week before Millrose Games where Tuohy will race the Elite 3000m.
4:25 is too fast for a season opener, and she is racing against a tougher field at Millrose a week later. I don't know why Henes is letting her race this meet.
Tuohy is capable of taking down the record but I don't believe that she will at Camel City. The track is flat and not known as being particularly fast. In 2019, Clayton Murphy did run 1:45.92 to win by nearly 3 seconds and set the flat track world record but those sorts of times are rare there.
I predict a tactical race somewhat akin to 2022 when Elly Henes won in 4:38.66. I do wish that Mia Barnett was toeing the starting line. With her headed to UCLA her more regular competition will be missed in the ACC.

It's a mile and will probably not be that fast. How many qualifying heats do athletes run in the NCAAs, WCs, Olympics? How many days are between those heats? I doubt that it will affect Tuohy for Millrose and may even serve as a "tune up."

It depends. There is a pacer and does the pacer try to serve up a slow pace for Camp doubling back from 3000, or does she try to make it a fast race? I agree it will not likely be 4:25 either way though.
I believe that based on past performances of this meet, as well as who’s in it this year, that Tuohy will go out in 1500 at about 4:10, closing in 16 seconds for the final stretch.
=4:26.00 just barely missing the NCAA indoor record, but good enough for #2 all-time.

Many HSers have run very fast for 3200m just a couple hours after a championship 1600m win. Tuohy can handle doubling back a week later.

4:25 is a very good indoor mile time for women. Some professionals struggle to run this in winter. In the last three women's Millrose Mile races (the fastest races of the respective seasons), 4:25 would have been good for about 6th place and also about top 10 in the world during indoor season.

Predicted 4:30 low in another thread if Fray paces them for 2:15 through halfway. But the only athletes whose prs suggest they can hold it is Touhy with her 4:06 1500 pr and Wiley with her 4:26 1600 but hasn't had a big race since last year.
