Katelyn Tuohy Official Visits?

Her family is Irish-Catholic, so why not Notre Dame?

Great school, but seeing their last two superstars fail to finish their careers healthy would be (or SHOULD be) a red flag. High mileage on sidewalks and treadmills is not for everyone.

I am pleased to see all you "experts" who are willing to give free advice to a young lady that will have to make some very difficult decisions. If I were here, I would just say, "Mind your own business, as you don't know what you are talking about".

Too many young know it alls on here. Treacy is retiring, by the way, yet no one knew that piece of information. Please leave these young people alone, as it is hard enough just having family, school and friends give advice. She doesn't need an extra dose of "knucklehead" input.

It would be a shame if she chooses Stanford. The degree would be nice but the coaching there could ruin her.

Colorado would be the best choice. Just the academics aren’t great.

You just confirmed she should go to Stanford. The degree will serve her forever. Her athletic talent won’t. Even if she does end up being the GOAT US distance runner, she’ll still probably make only $500k/year and then have to retire after only 10 years, and get a $40k/year job... and that’s the optimistic outcome... i.e., her being the GOAT of the US... more likely she’ll never get close and will be struggling to break her high school PRs when she’s in her late 20s. But with a degree from Stanford in something useful will set her up well for some real success.

Incorrect. Tommi Truman from Illinois is the number 1 female recruit. She ran 4:23/9:28/15:32 last year as a junior. She did a bunch of unofficials last year and got no serious offers so she decided to do her officials as a woman...

Is this true or just a joke? If it’s true, she should go to Montana, the path will already be open for her. Montana could become a powerhouse in the next few years.

But for real, though. Montana can be mixing it up at the conference meet in a couple years and even making noise on the national stage.

You may be the only person on this thread who thinks they are giving Tuohy advice. Her parents, who I have met and are very down to earth, and Tuohy herself have better things to do than read LRC for advice.

I don't think it's long. I'm speaking more to his success in coaching elites like Smith, Huddle, Cragg, and Sisson. When he gets talented female runners he seems to do a good job with them.

When you get talented runners just don't screw them up. Anybody would look good with great athletes.

Agree, and we all know that some do a better job of not screwing them up than others!

Say what??

There is no better place to get advice regarding distance running than LETSRUN! Of course they are coming here to get advice.

Anyone know where she is taking her officials? #1 female recruit in this class, correct?

I would advise her to buy a one-way ticket on a packet steamer for Togo, hitchhike across the Congo Basin arriving in Iten sometime toward mid-dry season, live on some charitable family's floor, drink goat milk from the teat and train whenever she goddamn wants.

That would be formative, non-conforming and rupture this absurd assembly line to college athletics Americans are so convinced will make them exceptional. It is such a profoundly boring model.

The best post here! Who says she is considering flushing the best years of her life down the NCAA toilet? Did she say so? An agent? Why would somebody that good 'take an official'? I am hoping some of the posters are dead-on when they suggest that no one in her camp reads this stuff.

North Dakota State is the place for Katelyn, for many, many reasons, not the least of which is the fact that I'm coach and desperately need someone of her talent to save my a**. And she can also ice fish here, summer or winter.

Villanova would be her best choice for many reasons. Gina Procaccio is as good as it gets.

Tuohy already runs higher mileage than most of the Villanova women’s team. For those she isn’t running more than, she’s pretty damn close. Gina likes low mileage girls out of high school because her program is low mileage. She’s not going to be able to train Tuohy to faster times under her philosophy.

Nobody will get her to faster times in college. She peaked last year.

Sage Hurta seems to be doing well there.

What happened to all of the experts claiming that she would attend an Ivy? Some of us told you that her parents weren't dumb enough to spend $300k on an education.

Link?

Agree, out of that list of five, Providence/Treacy would be the best choice for her in terms of long-term development into a professional.

Outside of sisson who has gone to prov and then go onto a long pro career. The list is not as long as you think

Mark Carroll

Amy Rudolph

Did Treacy coach them?

Well, that is very good to know and reassuring. My comments stand, as she needs no outside help from this crowd.

To assume she doesn't read LRC isn't justified as many young runners do come on here as verified by the posts left on threads....:-)

I hope she forgoes running in college and goes pro now...

How many experts predicted that she'd go to an Ivy? I'm not seeing it.
