Tuohy is super inspirational to me. I started following the sport during her senior year, and so many people said she wouldn't improve post-HS. Seeing her win NXN that year made me a big fan, and even though she had some setbacks, she's come back and just keeps resetting expectations. She won't improve after HS? She finishes as the top freshman in XC. She's done after not making NCAAs on the track? She comes 2nd indoors twice. She can't win a race? She runs 15:14 on her own, 4:06 on her own, then gets the 5000 title as a sophomore. Valby comes out of nowhere to crush everyone all season, and gaps her at nationals? She pulls out the craziest XC finish I've ever seen for the W. She can't break the NCAA mile record in her season opener? She crushes it.
