Congratulations to her young coach at her prep school for coaching a now 3 time National Champion.
Sydney comes from a running family and has raced in middle school. It is just off the radar. She no doubt adheres to a training routine involving nutrition, strength and yes mileage. What great training partners with an older D1 runner sister, and a twin brother who can push you and support you. I think she is set up to achieve great things. So an impression that she is undertrained is just not accurate. She is humble is all. And so are the people around her. Congrats to her.
Your post implies:
1) Masciarelli's young coach is better than Touhy's coach, but you have not met either one.
2) Her supposedly having great training partners and family members give Masciarelli an advantage, but there are countless great runners that had neither of those things.
3) She is concerned about nutrition and does strength training and runs mileage. Tuohy has a different approach to running?
4) Compared to Tuohy, Masciarelli is humble. What makes you think Tuohy is arrogant? How do you know the people around Masciarelli are humble when you've never met them? How do you know the people around Tuohy aren't?
You have no information at all to come to your conclusion, but you are good at reading the minds of people you've never met.
