Really dropped off over past year and no longer races. She seems to struggle with injuries and some mysterious illnesses.
I think i've seen someone say this pretty much every year since high school. I'll see you this summer when she runs into the 14:30s
Is that a bigger drop than the past 5 years? She hasn’t looked quite right since early outdoors. Hopefully she is taking a rest, getting some miles and aiming for an OT peak.
The first thing ill say is this: Parker valby smoked her at xc this year at nuttycombe and nats despite her sickness. And i was excited for Valby. Shes running absolutely insane times right now. I'm a fan of usatf, at the high school, college and pro level. Go valby.
That being said, people here are gross. Tuohy has set multiple high school and collegiate records. Showed up on race day time in and time out. WON ncaa xc's AND ncaa championships.
Has a "rough patch" after finishing 7th at USA's and 5th at ncaas and you lose hope on her? I don't get it. If you're a fan of of America you wouldn't lose hope on a girl in her early 20's. If you had a daughter, would you call her washed because she didn't win the biggest race in the country for her age??
You are insane. Let her train for another year. Maybe she doesnt try and Olympic qualify, okay. There's lots of great women going for it. Stop hating on a young 20 year old girl with the world in front of her, arguably the best high school career ever, and amazing college college behind her to fit your narrative.
I pray that the people posting these threads aren't coaches at the high school or collegiate level.
Tuohy is one of the brightest young athletes usatf has, and she doesnt need to prove anything to you.
I would not be surprised if she never wins another race unless it is a smaller pro race somewhere. This is true for most pros. Only the very best ever win big events or make US teams.
The US's future is still in good hands with the rise of Valby, Wiley, and Markezich.
The real question for you is why your tone is you’re happy, care to share? You didn’t make this comment about Cook or about Lauren Gregory. I’m rooting for US success and hate that you would say “US’s future” while rooting for the demise of a runner who might contribute to “US’ future.
Totally, all this Touhy is DONE stuff is so lame. It's similar to a while ago people kept saying Hobbs Kessler was DONE.
Careers go through ups and downs and sometimes there is injury or health issues to work through and slumps. Sometimes it takes a while to adjust to the training that takes someone to the next level. Young early pros don't always progress linearly. That's normal.

The reason is that the forums are anonymous. This reduces someone to be less than human. They would never say hurtful things in the real world. It’s toxic AF over here at LR. Good luck to Touhy.
I have no idea. But I'm not going to start counting wildly talented athletes out just because they've had an injury, illness, change of training or not won a couple of races. The fact that people on this board do it so quickly suggests they have no idea what kind of fire these athletes have within themselves.
This seems like a really weird thing to say. Tuohy has had VERY few injuries - knee problem in high school requiring surgery, and some minor issue recently, that she is already back from and base building for outdoor.
Never missed a single season in college except for fall her freshman year which didn’t count anyway as far as eligibility due to COVID. RED-S causes an endless injury cycle of stress fractures and that is something she, in over a decade of high level running, has never had. Because she does things the right way and stays healthy and fit and doesn’t give GAF about random message board critics trying to gaslight.
Always nice to stick to the forum rules. Personal attacks are not permitted. Just giving you a heads up. Much more productive to comment on the actual topic. Putting someone in a box of either being an idiot.or needing therapy is uncalled for. Is that what you say to coworkers who don't agree with you? Better to provide a reasoned opinion. OP asked the question and provided some basic factual information. Seems fairly reasonable.
And if that’s all we got, were in trouble. Those 3 are gonna beat Kipyegon, Tsegay, Hassan, and Gidey!
NO woman in the history of US runners has ever been close to competing with those 4.
VERY few women in the history of all international runners have ever been close to competing with those 4 (the Dibabas, Defar, Ayana, Cheruiyot, Chebet, Junxia…)
To hold that level as the standard - and expect one of our own to suddenly be able to compete with them - is being unrealistic. The last US woman who looked poised to make that jump was Shelby Houlihan and look how that turned out.

If she was to do well and qualify for the Olympics, there would be a lot of people eating crow. Wish her the best!
