PARKER VALBY RACING BU

It depends upon the pacing. If they can get a pro to pace it through 3000m in 10:45, then she has a shot to break 15min. Currently the only pro in the race that can do that is Johnson.

Maybe 15:03.

3k in 10:45 for a sub 15?

Sorry, I screwed that up. Downvote that one.

I meant 3600m in 10:45. Upvote this one.👍

Given that she went through 5k en route to her win in roughly 15:45, I’d say on a fast track like BU she’s under 15.

15:11

Ripped from the other thread:

********************
I sought other data to try and see how realistic Valby’s LAACTIC rating is. I looked at past Nuttycombe times by various athletes, and their corresponding BU indoor time that same year:
ATHLETE……….Nutty……..BU
Weini Kelati……19:49…….15:15
Taylor Werner…19:52……15:11
Katie Izzo………..19:59…..15:13
Ednah Kurgat…..19:39…..15:15
Weini Kelati………19:36…..15:15
Allie Ostrander….19:40…..15:16
Ednah Kurgat……20:22……15:38
Katelyn Tuohy……19:44…….15:16

Parker Valby………19:17………???

She doesn't want pacers slowing her down. She runs on feel. 14:49.

I support the ‘run by feel’. 14:49 is 35:56 per lap, 71sec per 400m. Now that would be a long-strike.

If she were to attempt that, but fade to a 15:09, it would still be cool to watch.

No Touhy entry :(

Rumor is Tuohy is going pro

I third this. 14:49-14:55. She will be the first sub-15 collegiate time.

Would’ve been cool to see a collegiate Tuohy battle it out with her over that honor, tho.

Tynneesma is also entered. if she's back to 100% I wonder if she gives Parker Valby a good challenge.

71 per 400 is 8:53 for 3000 while her pr from early this year is 8:49.7. If I have a vote I'd say somewhere around 15:00-15:05. Speed is not her forte. Note where she was at 600 in Charlottesville.

I'd be surprised if she runs 15:30. Did not appear close to top form.

B UT 15:30 would nicely accomplish the goal of getting an ncaa indoor qualifier out of the way.

Valby’s 1st 1k at Natty’s was clocked in 2:47.

by who? 2:54.1 was the offical time. Mis-stating facts on her behalf does not make her faster.

I just watched the video. I guesstimated the pole was the 1k mark, and watched the clock and distance in the video.

Two days prior, Valby was not seen in the team photos practicing on the course.* A groan from the crowd went up; was she injured?; was she sick?

Gun goes off; at 600m, no Valby. At 700m they are 7 wide (including Olemomoi, Markezich, Tuohy.)

And then, at 800m, they split-screen, and we see a flash of Valby, sliding up on the inside.

*It turns out Valby went into town to find an Arc Trainer.😁
