Tuohy's 1500/5000m double attempt

Sheila Reid in 2011 won both. I believe the schedule was different then though.

Also just want to note that a few others are signed up for the 1500m/5k double:

Amina Maatoug

Maia Ramsden

Simone Plourde

Everlyn Kemboi (along with the 10k as well)

Samantha Tran

Not sure if I am leaving any out

No m or f has won both since she schedule changed to both finals on same day. Reid won the 5000 the night prior to winning the 1500.

She wants Bowerman.

But it's Brittonmania baby!!!

Or it could be both want maximum team points - tuohy for the 3 sport win for nc st. With xc and indoors done a top 10 should secure it for nc st which is doable with tuohy scoring high in both events. Wilson of course for the outdoor team title tho TX looks way too strong.

Was looking at 2022, and both Bush and Asekol attempted the double at prelims last year but only made it through in one event

I remember that Bush ran 1500 kinda badly but then qualified in 5000 in mid 1530s.

Personally, the 10k/5k was easier - 2 races 48 hours rest. Given that 33:15 / 16:15 probably Q's for nats and Touhy was a lock to win a sit n kick 10k final v Venters/Chelangat, then 5k final would be only IF. THE knock on 10/5 was 'all that racing before usatf', but given how slow prelims can be, it's really only the last 5k on fumes.

The 1500/5k is more impressive and more fun for kt.

That was using the 5k as a safety (and why just 5k this year).

she won both 3000m and 5000m indoors vs the ncaa

its the same thing but more competition for the 1500m than in the 5000m

Is your name a throwback to the Empire State Games?

I miss them.

They seem to think a Tuohy double win is a foregone conclusion. I think it tougher than they think.

If it were a day apart I would agree with them. But the short gap between finals makes it extremely hard.

Running a 2nd race a couple hours after the first is a lot harder than doing it the next day....

Yeah, me too. And they weren't that expensive for the state, either.

Wasn't necessarily thrilled with having to race 50km to qualify, but at the time I would pretty much do anything for a few days' free food and lodging (and a free uniform and set of rather cheesy sweats, some of which I still have). I'll be doing the Empire State Senior Games next month, but it ain't the same. At all.

IMO Hochul could do her re-election campaign a solid by pushing to reinstate the Games. They were a big showcase for the ice hockey and lacrosse kids, right? And they introduced a lot of folks (including me) to other sports/events.

A Brighton-based nonprofit that hoped to revive the games has filed papers to disband.

Here we go.

Hey everyone Tammy the bisch is back!💩

Yes, it's an ambitious goal and certainly not a foregone conclusion, but I think she'll do it. Finals are over and I suspect she'll be at peak performance level. It's gonna be good!

No one's ever won that combo in the NCAA on the same day. She'll be the first. She used to run doubles and triples in high school, so it won't be that new for her.
