Katelyn Tuohy is the GOAT among HSers

Around 16:45 and not even tired. What a race!

ummmm ..... ever heard of Jordan Hasay?

Literally everyone has heard of Hasay. What's your point?

Whatever it is, its probably pretty asinine.

I do agree that she is the best ever high school girl, the times she runs. I was worried that she was going to be another really promising fast runner, and then to fade away all of a sudden. I am excited about this. I literally think she has a chance to become one of the world's greatest, runners like Bekele is. I have had posters of Bekele on my wall for inspiration and motivation for what seems like a lifetime. I have had pictures of Tuohy on my wall for 4 or 5 years, and believe they will stay there, as she improves into a stronger and stronger elite through out her career. Usually before a hard training session, but mostly a race, I just gaze at these pictures for inspiration(kind of like meditation to relax, and normally while I'm stretching/fueling before running), and imagine that I am like one of these runners. The future is bright. Good luck Tuohy and make us proud.

??????????

this boy better be joking

I think she's absolutely beautiful. Watching her run is so satisfying.

You are talking about a high school sophomore, you know.

Yeah she’s a legend. #GOAT

Hasay was a better 7th grader, Tuohy was a better 8th grade, Hasay was a better freshman, tuohy hasnt run the same races sophomore year as Hasay did but she’s improved in xc while Hasay stalled.

Tuohy is only .3 better in the 5000 than Claudia Lane

As a freshman Cain was better than Tuohy, as a sophomore Tuohy is better.

When did Lane run anything close to 15:37? Her PR is listed as 16:30.

To be fair that 16:30 was on a dry and hilly XC course plus the heat, but I do think it's not accurate at all to compare a track 5000m to a 5k XC race. I still think Katelyn has an edge over that distance but it's obvious Claudia could have ran a much faster time than 16:30 given the same conditions of an indoor track when she had that kind of fitness.

Nothing is obvious until the race is run...

The GOAT title goes to Kimberly Ann Gallagher.

At the end of Kim's senior year, her name was on the T&FNews top-10 list in the 4x400, 4x800, DMR, 800m, 1500, Mile and 5K. I guess a lot depends on what you call a H.S. athlete; in Kim's case, she was coached by a H.S. coach; she ran all of her high school meets and almost always tripling. In fact, when she ran the H.S. record in the mile, it was part of a triple at a sectional meet. When the record was broken a week later by Polly Plumber, Kim's response was I wish someone had told me to run faster. She only lost to one H.S. athlete in an individual event in 3 years, she set multiple H.S. records, Penn Relays victories, WJr 800m champ, and record holder. In 1982 Kim's 800m HSR would have won the NCAA meet and her 1500m time would have placed 3rd.

She’s a minge.

16:30 is Lane's track PR for 5000. Obviously she has improved, but I doubt she is anywhere near 15:37.

She ran 10:08 for the 3200m in about 20 mph wind and a wind chill of 17 degrees. Didn't have much competition either. Crazy

She looked so upset after that race with the time. But 10:08 in those conditions was fantastic. Girl would have run 9:4x in conditions like Arcadia. Will be interesting to see if she rolls a good 800 tommorrow.

How quick is that converted for a 3000m? There is a 12 yr old that ran a 9:19 in Australia in November over 3000m

Not overly excited sorry. In our small little city of Canberrae have one 16 year old female that has run 2:00.81, 16 year old female that has run 9:16 for 3k and 18 year old that ran 16:50 5k in a race with 3 people. I am sure that the above athlete is great hopefully it translates to much faster times for her in the future.

bump for predictions, expected progression, current opinions, etc.
