I look at it this way. Props to Parker Valby, always unafraid to take it out and dare anyone to stick with her. Props to Touhy for sticking it out and making the best of a bad day. I would never disrespect either of these fine runners, just enjoy the rivalry.
None of this matters much. Both need to drop 20-30s off their 5k to make teams. Maybe both can. Maybe they can’t. If you go down the list of recent good collegians the number that were solid pros isn’t much above 50%. They pretty much all need to make one or two speeds up to be competitive.
