What do you mean? It's two seconds off her PB and she kind of got boxed in at the start and had to run around girls with probably cost her 2 seconds

I mean it's not like an incredible results or anything but it's a good effort

I think her endurance has improved so if she can keep her speed where it is it might set up her for some modest gains at 3K 5K.

Realistically she's got to look to stay healthy and make some small improvements. It takes time girls progress different than guys

Running your 1500m PB pace for 1000m is not a good result. Sorry it's just not. That doesn't mean she can't have a good season. It's just this particular result is not good.

who is trying to run a good result at an indoor meet on jan 4?

March and June are when it matters.

Dude would you stop being Dopey

Do I seriously have to work the whole world like a puppet

2 seconds off her PB

And it was her second race of the day

It was a solid effort

Like I said she's just trying to stay healthy and make small gains...

If you can run a personal-best every time and set the world on fire then let's hear about it but otherwise just stay positive

Right on man. If she had an outside Lane she would have ran two seconds faster while still jogging to the Finish

It was the 40th fastest 1K ever in high school history that's not bad for a girl who's looking towards the 5K

She's just got to keep doing her thing. Don't overdo it and stay healthy

You all obsess over female high school runners with an obsession not seen with male high school runners.

You must be young, or you would remember that any time Alan Webb or German Fernandez ran a race their senior year, this website would literally crash from the message board traffic. Many of us get excited when we see kids with record-breaking potential. And another big contingent leaps at the chance to predict calamity for the young stars.

2:49 is comparable to a 2:10 800 m or 4:25 1500, in my opinion that is nothing special, but ok for a 3000/5000 m runner this time of the year.

A 1:37 600 m is weak though. Maybe worth a 2:15 at best.

This clearly indicates a lack of basic speed or middle-distance stamina / power.

Where are you from that you have such high standards? I havent seen many HS girls run these times , especially right after Christmas break.

I just gave conversions to 800 and 1500 m times for people who are not familiar with the odd 600 and 1000 m distances.

Regarding the 'high standards' comment: The 1000 was ok but not special and the 600 rather weak in comparison to her own performance level and the goal to become an international runner within 3-5 years. It was not meant in comparison to your average high school girl, which would not make any sense, since she is far beyond that level for a long time.

Tuohy will run the 3k at Dr. Sander (Jan. 25).

women’s mile - Nikki Hiltz

women’s 3,000m - Katelyn Tuohy

It's just you.

Nice lineup!!

Where did you see this lineup for the Dr Sanders?

It was up on the armory website. News article how to get press credentials for Millrose Games and Dr. Sander, including short articles of confirmed line-up highlights for both meets.

Apparently taken down when they published the Men's Wanamaker Mile line-up.

Is that considered fast?

That's just a 2:14 800m + a 35 200m.

No not really Australia had two 15 year old girls run 2:43 in early December. Those are two athletes that US colleges should be keeping an eye on if they continue to progress. One of the girls ran 2:05 for 800m which is pretty impressive at such a young age.

Tuohy is good for sure and 2:49 is a good indoor 1k time but not lets not get too excited. Maybe better yet not broadcast every time she runs a race. There is a lot of pressure on these young athletes.

It's motivating for these athletes that people are interested in their running

I really don't think the fact that people discuss it on letsrun.com is any added pressure

The local newspapers always report what happens with the different meets

It's all part of the excitement. I think you got to really see it as a positive thing. People care dammit

Cain ran 2:35. Tuohy's pace is 20 seconds slower for a mile. This can't be good.

They are different type runners though. Cain was a mid distance beast, capable of competing on the world stage. Tuohy is top flight distance runner for Americans, but isn't on the same level. So they are better at different distances and Cain was a prodigy.

Do you work with junior with junior athletes? There is no way a 17 year old female should be scrutinised every time she steps on the track to race. If you have never faced that pressure as an athlete then you are in position to comment.

LeBron James' son is a freshman and ESPN is covering some of his games. They talk about him on Sportscenter. I don't look for them but I'm sure there are multiple message boards discussing his performances. I'm not saying this board is a positive but it's today's world.

True, and even in the early 60s guys like Ryun and Lindgren were televised.

They were probably televised more than runners are now...

My 1600 PR is 4:20. Tuohy's 1k race is equivalent to me running 2:42.5. I never ran that slow. Ever. My worst race was 2:35. My best is 2:30. I really don't see how anyone can spin this to make it look like it was a good race for her.
